Collaborative Research: Fire Behavior and Design of Building Floor Systems

该合作项目的研究目标是为钢建筑结构的组合楼板系统和连接制定基于结构性能的耐火设计指南。该项目将创造基本知识和技术，用于制定这些指导方针。该项目涉及实验调查、数值模型和分析方法的开发和校准，以及实验和分析参数研究。密歇根州立大学(MSU)和普渡大学(PU)将分别在标准火灾和现实火灾下对复合地板体系进行大规模实验。交付成果包括实验结果和元数据数据库、校准的分析工具和方法、参数研究结果目录、研究成果的记录和传播，以及对当代和未来几代工程师进行结构火灾工程科学方面的教育。实验和分析结果将被用来制定基于性能的火灾危险设计指南。建议的设计指引将加强楼宇结构的防火安全。为了加强研究的更广泛影响，该项目还将开发教育模块，向本科生和研究生教授结构消防工程。这些单元将侧重于这一主题所固有的基本概念和多学科原则。将开发基于性能化的结构-消防工程设计实例的培训模块，向从业人员讲授设计规定，并将通过专业组织向设计界提供

The research objective of this collaborative project is to develop structural performance-based fire resistant design guidelines for the composite floor systems and connections of steel building structures. The project will create fundamental knowledge and technologies that will be used to develop these guidelines. The project involves experimental investigations, development and calibration of numerical models and analytical approaches, and experimental and analytical parametric studies. Large-scale experiments on composite floor systems under standard and realistic fire will be conducted at Michigan State University (MSU) and Purdue University (PU), respectively. Deliverables include database of experimental results and metadata, calibrated analytical tools and approaches, catalog of results from parametric studies, documentation and dissemination of research results, and education of current and future generations of engineers in the science of structural fire engineering. The experimental and analytical results will be utilized to develop performance-based design guidelines for fire hazards. The proposed design guidelines will lead to enhanced fire-safety of building structures. To enhance broader impacts of the research, the project will also develop educational modules for teaching structural fire engineering to undergraduate and graduate students. These modules will focus on fundamental concepts and multi-disciplinary principles that are intrinsic to this topic. Training modules using examples of performance-based structural-fire engineering designs will be developed to teach design provisions to practitioners, and will be made available to the design community through professional organizations
