Improving structural robustness of steel frame buildings by enhancing floor deck connections
Abstract In current composite floors, the strength of the deck connections restraining the profiled steel decks to the floor beams or to the neighboring steel decks are much weaker compared with the sectional strength of the steel deck, which would limit the load-carrying capacity of the composite floors under progressive collapse scenarios. Given this, this study proposed two novel types of enhanced deck connections for improving the load-carrying behavior of the deck-to-beam connection and deck-to-deck connection. Based on a 5-story steel prototype building, the feasibility of the proposed deck connections in improving the progressive collapse resistance was validated by comparing with the common practice of the deck connections via a reduced-order (RO) modeling approach. The structural robustness of the prototype building in the case of sudden column removal was evaluated and discussed. Compared with the commonly used deck connections, the enhanced deck connections could improve the structural robustness of the prototype building by 27%.
Highlights Novel enhanced profiled deck connections are proposed. The structural configurations are designed using high-fidelity analysis results. Verified reduced-order models are developed. Enhanced deck connections can improve the structural robustness of steel frame building.
