Non-linear analysis of membrane action effect in profiled steel sheeting dry board flooring system

Axial and shear behavior of profiled steel sheet dry board (PSSDB) composite walling system

“…Preventing the in-plane movement in the slab ends reduced the vertical deflection in the central region of the slab and early appearance of local buckling in the top flange of the steel sheeting. Analysis results indicate that the arching action in the slab in first steps of loading causes the drastic improvement in the deflection limit load of the slab in serviceability limit state deflection (Seraji et al, 2014). Results obtained prove that the wall panels with infill material can sustain an ultimate load 5 times more than that of the panels without infill materials.…”

“…Very limited research was conducted to assess the structural performance of PSSDB wall panels with infill materials (Badaruzzaman et al 2004). Figure 2.19 Experimental test set-up (left) and FEM loading system (right) (Seraji et al, 2014) The outcome of the study imposed that applying the membrane action theory in the PSSDB slab, predicts higher flexural capacity up to more than three times. However, restricting the translation and rotation of the slab ends induces compressive membrane action which depends on the span length and slab thickness.…”

“…Experimental results of conclude that concrete infill (grade 30) have significant contribution in increasing the stiffness and strength of the PSSDB floor panels.Followed by the research conducted byShodiq (2004), where he demonstrated that the stiffness and strength of the PSSDB floor system with normal concrete infill was 20.2% and 61.0% higher compared to those without infill. The concrete infill increases the stiffness and its effect on delaying the onset of local buckling of the upper flange under compression of the PSS Seraji et al (2014). conducted non-linear finite element analysis using ABAQUS to study the effect of membrane action in improving the flexural capacity in the PSSDB floor system.…”
