Abstract: An ultimate strength analysis procedure was formulated for five full‐scale, two‐way slabs tested to failure. The concrete slabs were reinforced with composite corrugated cold‐formed steel decking. Three slabs contained ...

Abstract: An experimental research program based on a proposed approach to fatigue testing that does not require a traditional stress versus cycles relationship was conducted to evaluate the behavior of composite metal deck slabs ...

Abstract: This is the second of two companion papers that focus on the behavior and analysis of steel‐deck‐reinforced concrete floor diaphragms. (The companion paper presents experimental results and behavioral aspects, including ...

Abstract: Steel‐framed buildings are typically constructed using steel‐deck‐reinforced concrete floor slabs. The in‐plane, or diaphragm, strength and stiffness of the floor system are frequently utilized in the lateral‐load‐resisting ...
