The effects of end restraint on steel deck reinforced concrete floor systems

Extensive research to determine the strength of steel deck reinforced concrete floor systems has been carried out on single-span, single panel width test specimens. Little of this research has considered the benefits that actual field conditions have on overall strength and stiffness. This experimental study investigates typical field details at intermediate supports and end spans. In particular, the influence of adjacent spans and typical pour stop details are considered. Additionally, this study illustrates the applicability of simple analytical models, which can be used to determine the strength and stiffness of steel deck reinforced concrete floor systems. / Master of Science
