- Modelling the Fire Resistance of Prestressed Concrete Floors using Multi-Spring Connection Elements

- Keywords: Fire resistance
- Description
- The fire resistance of precast prestressed concrete floor systems is heavily influenced by the end connections and the stiffness of the surrounding structure, both of which must be considered in any analysis. Analysing floor slabs with beam or shell elements whose end nodes share the nodes of supporting beams leads to a major problem for precast prestressed flooring systems where the steel tendons terminate at the end of the flooring
units, because the approach of sharing nodes of the supporting beam and floor assumes that these tendons are anchored into the supporting beams. In order to solve this problem, a “multi-spring” connection element has been developed. Experimental data available from previous research work has been used to validate the finite element model. It is concluded that the inclusion of the multi-spring connection results in more accurate
predictions of prestressed hollowcore slab behaviour in fire conditions.

- Study on Shaking-Table Experiment of a Full-Scale Four-Story Steel Building

- Structure types ; Steel structures ; Earthquake engineering
- Keywords: E-Defense shaking-table ; numerical analysis ; collapse experiment ; local buckling ; incremental dynamic analysis
- Description
- This paper presents the dynamic collapse analysis of a full-scale four-story steel building which was
experimented to collapse at the E-Defense shaking-table in Japan, in 2007, using the ground acceleration histories recorded at the JR Takatori station during the 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu earthquake. Deterioration of columns on the first story level due to local buckling is thought to be one of major reasons for the building collapse. Fiber method approach is adopted in the analysis to simulate local buckling at the column ends. Hypothetical analyses estimate the collapse capacity of the building specimen at approximately 0.9 times Takatori ground motion level. The collapse capacity of the building specimen under various propagating directions of the non-scaled Takatori ground motion is also investigated, showing that the building likely collapses under any propagating direction of the ground motion.
