Reduced-Order Modeling of Composite Floor Slabs in Fire. I: Heat-Transfer Analysis

March 18, 2020
Author(s)
Jian Jiang, Joseph Main, Jonathan Weigand, Fahim H. Sadek
This paper presents a reduced-order numerical modeling approach for the analysis of heat transfer in composite floor slabs with profiled steel decking exposed to fire effects. This approach represents the thick and thin portions of a composite slab with

Improved Calculation Method for Insulation-based Fire Resistance of Composite Slabs

March 2, 2019
Author(s)
Jian Jiang, Adam L. Pintar, Jonathan M. Weigand, Joseph A. Main, Fahim Sadek
A calculation method for estimating the fire resistance of composite slabs with profiled steel decking according to the thermal insulation criterion is provided in Annex D of Eurocode 4 (EC4). In this study, comparisons between validated high-fidelity

REDUCED-ORDER THERMAL ANALYSIS OF FIRE EFFECTS ON COMPOSITE SLABS

September 4, 2018
Author(s)
Jian Jiang, Joseph A. Main, Jonathan M. Weigand, Fahim Sadek
This paper describes a reduced-order modeling approach for thermal analyses of composite slabs with profiled decking. The reduced-order modeling approach consists of alternating strips of layered shell elements, representing the thick and thin portions of

New Connections for Enhancing Robustness of Precast Concrete Frame Structures

February 24, 2018
Author(s)
Travis E. Thonstad, Yihai Bao, Jonathan M. Weigand, Joseph A. Main, Hai S. Lew
A recent experimental and computational study of two precast concrete moment-frame assemblies under a column removal scenario revealed vulnerabilities in the moment connections arising from (a) local bending of reinforcing bars due eccentricity in the

Behaviour of high-strength bolts at elevated temperatures under double-shear loading

September 13, 2017
Author(s)
Mina S. Seif, Jonathan M. Weigand, Rafaela Peixoto, Luiz Vieira
During fire events, connections in steel structures may be subjected to large unanticipated deformations and loads. Those fire effects can produce failures of connections, including local buckling of the connection zone, rupture of connection plates, shear
