该合作项目的研究目标是为钢结构的复合楼板系统和连接开发基于结构性能的防火设计指南。该项目将创造用于制定这些指导方针的基础知识和技术。该项目包括实验研究、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。将分别在密歇根州立大学（MSU）和普渡大学（PU）进行标准火灾和真实火灾下复合楼板系统的大规模实验。可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、参数化研究结果目录、研究结果的文档和传播，以及对当前和未来几代结构消防工程科学工程师的教育。实验和分析结果将用于制定基于性能的火灾危险设计准则。建议的设计指引将有助加强楼宇结构的防火安全。为扩大研究的影响，本计划亦会发展结构消防工程的教学模块，以供本科生及研究生学习。这些模块将侧重于基本概念和多学科的原则，是固有的这个主题。将开发使用基于性能的结构防火工程设计实例的培训模块，向从业人员教授设计规定，并将通过专业组织提供给设计界

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
