4. SEISMIC RESPONSE OF PARTIAL-STRENGTH COMPOSITE JOINTS
Figure 4.5. Column base plate during fabrication of the Ispra test
frame
The beams of the moment frames (see Figure 4.6) are made of IPE300 sections
that act compositely with the 150 mm thick concrete slab. The slab is poured on a
55 mm deep trapezoidal composite steel deck (Brollo EGB210 profile). The flutes
of the deck are spaced at 150 and are oriented perpendicular to the direction of the
moment frames. Shear studs arranged in pairs are used at every rib to ensure
composite action with the beams. The shear connection degree between the steel
profile and the concrete slab is full. For the prototype structure, the slab extends
500 mm beyond the exterior column lines in both directions.

The beam-to-column joint has been designed so as to provide adequate structural
performances both under monotonic and cyclic loading. To this aim, a relatively
