Abstract
The paper describes space-planning and structural concept in source-efficient buildings that provides multiple functions of the rooms and large-span space.The main load-bearing structures of two adjacent storeys are metal trusses with parallel chords between which (between top and bottom chords) intermediate storeys are designed and the space between trusses is occupied by the free plan storeys. Bottom and top chords of the truss resist together with floor structure forming two-storey steel-reinforced concrete unit. To calculate value of deformation capacity for nodal connection a numerical experiment focused on modelling a part of building from solid finite elements has been performed. The results of performed analysis are the average values of stiffness of nodal interface of solid floor slab on corrugated deck and truss chords for finite elements KE 55 of typical layout (of flat finite elements). The obtained average values of stiffness were introduced into structural design of flat finite elements. Taking into account flexibility of floor slab that supported by middle trusses for the given structural concept leads to decreased span bending moments and increased support bending moments by 25% compared with hinge support of floor.

Summary
Nowadays free floor plan structural concepts are in high demand due to possibility to transform inner space of the floors through the whole life-cycle of the building [5, 8]. - the use of steel beams in floor structures [4]; - the use of extended column grid on the top storey [13]; - the use of “comb structures” and “bearing storeys”[2, 3, 10]; - arrangement of the storeys in the roof-truss space [6] The latter is considered to be the efficient and universal structural concept that can be applied in the buildings of different purpose. Coefficient of shear stiffness Csh is equal to the ratio of shearing force applied along joint Q to slab flange shear with respect to the core of metal truss chord δ: Csh = Q / δ. To calculate value of deformation capacity for nodal connection a numerical experiment focused on modelling a part of building from solid finite elements has been performed. The supporting section of solid floor slab on the truss had finer layout
