the center of the lower decks as well as along the edges of the lower decks (Figure 9).The corrugated panel and the supports do not have ‘contact’ at the uplift regions, hencethe reaction forces are zero at those regions. However, high reaction forces can be seen atthe corners of the lower decks, near the sidewalls. Similar conditions can be seen at theinterface of the loading bar.Non-Rigid Bond ModelFigure 10 shows a typical mesh for composite deck consisting of OSB attached tocorrugated panel using non-rigid construction adhesive. In a floor system, similar nonrigidbonds are formed between corrugated panels and the supporting joists. The ability tomodel the non-rigid bond using the FE method is essential to study composite action.Figure 11 shows a typical FE model of the partial composite joint between the corrugatedpanel and the OSB underlayment.
