Composite Floor Deck Slabs

General Information
After installation and adequate fastening, composite steel decks (floor
decks) serve several purposes. They act as working platforms, stabilize
the frame, serve as concrete forms for slabs, and provide positive bending
reinforcement. All USD composite decks are made to mechanically
interlock with the concrete by the use of rolled in embossments.
Construction
Deck should be selected to provide a working platform capacity of at least 50
psf. If temporary shoring is required to obtain this capacity, it should be
available to support the deck as the deck is being installed. Generally, deck is
selected to perform without the use of temporary shores; maximum unshored
spans are shown in the tables. As the deck is being erected, it is important to
immediately attach it to the structural frame so a working platform is made. All
OSHA rules for erection must be followed. The SDI Manual of Construction
with Steel Deck is a recommended reference.
When placing concrete, care must be taken to avoid high pile ups of
concrete and to avoid impacts caused by dropping or dumping. If
buggies are used, runways should be planked and deck damage caused
by roll bars or careless placement practices should not be allowed.
Finishes
Composite deck is available galvanized (G30, G60 or G90) and
phosphatized/painted. When the deck is furnished phosphatized/
painted, only the side not in contact with the concrete is painted so
chemical bond between steel and concrete can occur. (Phosphatizing
is a cleaning process.)
Wire Mesh
Temperature reinforcing should be present in composite slabs. The wire
mesh recommendations shown in the tables follow the SDI recommendation for a steel area of 0.00075 times the area of concrete above the deck
flutes. The mesh shown in the tables is not proportioned to act as negative
reinforcement but it does add some strength to the system. If welded wire
fabric is not used, the loads in the tables should be reduced by
10%. For best crack control, mesh should be kept near the top of the slab
in negative bending regions (3/4" to 1" cover). Mesh also helps to distribute
loads, both during construction and during the service life of the slab. It can also
be a secondary safety device if there is a collapse during concrete placement.
Parking Garages
Composite floor deck is not recommended for parking garages in the
northern part of the United States; salt brought because of snow removal
can deteriorate the deck. Deck can be used as a permanent form and
reinforcing (mesh or bars) should be used.
The Tables
The tables are arranged so the composite properties are on the left page.
The uniform live load capacities are shown on the right page. Tables are
provided for both light weight and normal weight concrete; both types
assume a concrete strength of 3000 psi. The tables are based on a steel
yield strength of 33 ksi; however, 40 ksi minimum yield steel is also readily
available and tables based on this strength are available upon request.
Maximum unshored spans are shown on the left page. These spans may
be taken as clear spans and SDI Construction loading is used to determine

the values. The tabulated variables are defined on each page.


The research done on composite deck has shown that the presence of
shear studs influences the live load of the system. When a sufficient
number of shear studs are present, the composite slab can achieve its
predicted ultimate strength. When no shear studs are present the factored
moment is found by Mno= ScFy, where is 0.85 and Sc is the cracked
composite section modulus of the composite slab. If the number of studs
present is between the amount required to produce the fully studded
moment and zero, then a straight line interpolation is valid. Generally, the
load capacity of composite slabs is greater than required by the intended
use, and the number of studs is not of importance. Studs are used
primarily to make beams composite and the composite slab simply uses
what is there - the average number of studs (per foot) can be used. The
right page tables are therefore divided into two parts. Those with one stud
per foot and those with no studs.
Both tables assume that no negative bending reinforcement is in place and the
composite deck has been analyzed as a single span. An upper load limit of
400 psf has been applied. This is to guard against uniform loads being
equated from heavy concentrated loads which require more analysis. Uniform
loads greater than 400 psf can be analyzed by using the data provided.
Concentrated loads can be designed as shown in the following example
problem. The loads have been determined by solving the equation for Wl
(the live load): 1000 x M = [1.6 Wl + 1.2Wc] L2 (12)/8 where M is the
appropriate listed factored moment, either Mnf or Mno; Wc is the sum of the
concrete and deck weight; L is the span in feet. Although other load
combinations may be investigated, 1.6 Wl + 1.2Wc usually controls.

The load width (above the ribs) is given by:


bm = b2 + 2tc + 2tt
The effective slab width (be) formulas are:
single span bending: be = bm + 2(1 - x / l)x;
Single span bending distribution is to be used if negative bending
reinforcing steel is not placed over the supports.
continuous span bending: be = bm + 4/3 (1 - x / l)x
Continuous span bending is to be used if negative bending reinforcing
steel is present over the supports.
For shear (single span or continuous) be = bm + (1 - x / l)x.
But, in no case shall be > 8.9(t c /h), feet.
The Weak Axis Moment (for distribution steel); M(weak axis) = Pbe ,

where w is the distribution parallel to the ribs:
w = l / 2 + b3; but not to exceed l
l = span length; x = location of the load measured from the support;
b2 = load width perpendicular to the flutes; b3 = load width parallel to the flutes.

Example Problem

(COMPOSITE FLOOR DECK)

THIS EXAMPLE PROBLEM USES 20 GAGE (t = 0.0358") 2" LOK FLOOR COMPOSITE
DECK MADE FROM STEEL WITH A 33 ksi (MINIMUM) YIELD POINT. THE DECK
PROPERTIES (PER FOOT OF WIDTH) HAVE BEEN CALCULATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE AMERICAN IRON AND STEEL INSTITUTE (AISI) SPECIFICATIONS AND ARE:
I = 0.420 in.4, SP = 0.367 in.3 , (SECTION MODULUS IN POSITIVE BENDING);
Sn = 0.387 in.3, (SECTION MODULUS IN NEGATIVE BENDING); As = 0.54 in.2;
Rb = 1010 lbs.; Vn = 2410 lbs.; w = 1.8 psf. Rb IS THE ASD INTERIOR WEB
CRIPPLING CAPACITY BASED ON A 5" BEARING AND V IS THE FACTORED DECK SHEAR
STRENGTH. SDI TOLERANCES APPLY. THE CONCRETE PROPERTIES ARE:
f 'c = 3 ksi; DENSITY = 145 pcf. THE RATIO OF THE MODULI, n = Es/Ec = 9.
Unshored Span Calculation
Calculate the maximum unshored clear span for the three span condition of
the deck with a 4.5" slab.
The resistance factors and the load factors are provided by the AISI
Specifications. The load factors are 1.6 for concrete weight, 1.4 for
construction loading of men and equipment, and 1.2 for the deck dead
load. It is important to remember that these factors are for the deck under
the concrete placement loads; when the slab has cured, and the system is
composite, the factors are different.

Composite section properties


Calculate the composite section properties and the allowable uniform load
for the deck slab combination. The clear span is 9'. No negative
bending reinforcing is used over the beams, so the composite slab will be
a simple span.
n = Es Ec = 9; As = 0.54 in.2 ; I = 0.42; As and I are per foot of width.
Determine the cracked I. This calculation is the standard ASD calculation
which assumes all concrete below the neutral axis is cracked. The
concrete is transformed into equivalent steel.

Check negative bending with two spans loaded:


-M = 0.117l 2(1.6x42 + 1.4x20 + 1.2x1.8) = 0.95(33000)(0.387) 12; l = 9.42'
Check positive bending with one span loaded with concrete and the
concentrated load:
+M = 0.20(1.4x150)l + 0.094l 2(1.6 x 42+1.2x1.8) = 0.95(33000)(0.367) 12; l = 9.33'

Check interior web crippling (note 1/3 stress increase allowed for ASD
temporary loading for web crippling):
Ri = 1.20(42 + 20 + 1.8) l = (1010 x 1.33); l = 17.55'
V = 0.617(1.6 x 42 + 1.4 x 20 + 1.2 x 1.8)l = 2410; l = 40.12'
Shear or bending alone will not control, but the interaction of shear and
bending could. The AISI equation for interaction is:
(Mapplied Mn)2 + (Vapplied Vn)2 < 1.0
Mapplied = 0.117l 2(1.6 x 42 + 1.4 x 20 + 1.2 x 1.8)12 = 136.7l 2 inch lbs.
Mn = 0.95 (33000)(.387) = 12132
Vapplied = (1.6 x 42 + 1.4 x 20 + 1.2 x 1.8)0.617l = 60.07l
(136.7l 2 12132)2 + (60.07l 2410)2 = 1.0
Solving for l yields l = 9.29'
Check deflection with y = l 180 and with y = 0.75" limits;
y = l(12) 180 = 0.0069(42 + 1.8)l4(1728) (29.5 x 106 x 0.420); l = 11.64'
y = 0.75 = 0.0069(42 + 1.8)l4(1728) (29.5 x 106 x 0.420); l = 11.55'
Combined bending shear governs, tables show maximum unshored span
of 9.27.

Iav = (Ic + Iuc) 2 = (4.02 + 8.67) 2 = 6.3 in.4

Calculate the unfactored (allowable) live load for the case with no studs.
The clear span is 9'.
The factored moment is; M0 = Fy Sc , where Sc is the section modulus of
the cracked section as previously determined, and the factor is 0.85.
M0 = 0.85(33000)1.26 = 35343 inch pounds = 35.34 inch kips. The
printout shows 35.43 which checks within 1%.
Unless negative bending reinforcement is present, the composite slab is
assumed to be single span. For a single span, the unfactored uniform
(live) load (wl ) is found by:
M0 = (1.6wl + 1.2 wd )l2(12) 8 = 35343; wd = dead load = 42 + 1.8 =
43.8 use 44; l = 9.
Solving for wl shows wl = 150 psf rounded to the nearest 5 psf.
Check the deflection if the applied load is 150 psf.
With no negative reinforcing, the composite slab is a single span.
= 0.013 wll4 EIav = 0.013(150)94(1728) (29.5 x 106 x 6.3) = 0.12"
which is l 900 and should be O.K.
Check the factored vertical shear capacity:
Vsteel deck= 2410 pounds (per foot of width).
Vconcrete = 0.85(2)(f 'c)Ac = 0.85(2)(3000) (32.6) = 3035 pounds = 3040
use
Vnt = 2410 + 3040 = 5450 pounds.
Check the concrete shear control limit: 0.85(4)(f 'c)0.5Ac = 2(3040) = 6080 lbs.
5450 < 6080 pounds. ( The tabulated value is 5450 - checks)
The unfactored (allowable) live load if shear controls ( wv ) is found by:
5450 = (1.6wv + 1.2 x 44)(9) 2; wv = 724 psf. So obviously shear does
not control the live load.

Concentrated Load
Check the ability of the example composite slab to carry a 2000 pound
concentrated load over an area of 4.5" x 4.5"; the load can occur at any
location in the span. No other live load will be acting at the same time.
Assume that there is no negative bending reinforcing steel in the slab
over the supports even though there will be wire mesh. The wire mesh
usually is not sufficient to supply the total negative bending needs; in this
problem we will also determine the wire mesh required to act as
distribution steel. If moving loads can cross into adjacent spans, such as
a fork lift truck, negative bending reinforcement is recommended.
Since there is no negative steel, the composite slab is considered to be
simple span.
clear span = l = 9' = 108"; b2 = b3 = 4.5"; bm = b2 + 2tc + 2tt; where tc is
the concrete cover over the top of the deck , and tt is the thickness of any
topping; h is the total thickness exclusive of the topping. In this case, h =
4.5", tc = 2.5" and tt = 0".
bm = 4.5 + 2(2.5) + 0 = 9.5"
For moment, and for determining the distribution steel, put the load in the
center of the span.
be = bm + 2(1- x l)x; where x is the location of the load which is l 2.
be = 9.5 + 2(1 - 54 108)54 = 63.5"; but be is not to exceed 8.9(tc h) in feet.
8.9(2.5 4.5)(12) = 59"; be = 59".

The number of studs required to develop 100% of the factored moment is


given by:
Ns = Fy(As - Awebs 2 - Abot.flange) [0.221(f 'cEc)0.5]; the numerator of this
equation is specific to the deck being used and the denominator is AISC
equation I5-1. For this 20 gage 2" x 12" deck
Ns = 33 x 7.7 x 0.0358 21.92 = 0.42 studs per foot (The printout shows
0.43 because of round off.)
The inverse 1.0 0.43 = 2.33 which means a stud is required every 2.33'
in order to achieve the full factored moment.
The full factored moment is Mn = 0.85FyAs(d-a 2). In this equation a is
the depth of the concrete compression block and is given by
a = AsFy (0.85 f 'cb) where b is 12".
a = 0.54(33000) (0.85 x 3000 x 12) = 0.58; d is measured from the top
of the slab to the centroid of the deck and is 3.5".
Mn = 0.85(33000)0.54(3.5 - 0.58 2) = 48622 inch pounds. The printout
shows 48.60 inch kips, which checks.
Since Ns = 0.43 and 1 Ns = 2.33', studs spaced at 1' and 2' will develop
the full factored moment of 48.60 inch kips, and with no studs the composite slab develops 35.43 inch kips. If studs are spaced at 3' (1/3 =0.33 studs
per foot) then the composite slab capacity is found by interpolation:
Mn = 35.43 + (48.60 - 35.43)0.33 0.43 = 45.54 inch kips.

For checking vertical shear, put the load one slab depth away from the
beam, x = h:
bve = bm + (1 - h l)x = 9.5 + (1- 4.5 108)(4.5) = 13.8". 13.8 < 59, so
for Moment use be = 59" and for shear bve = 13.8".
Live load moment (per foot of width) = Pl 4 = (1.6)2000(9 4)(12 59)12
1000 = 17.57 inch kips. Where 1.6 is the load factor and (12 59) is the

Dead load moment = wdl2 8 = 1.2(44)92(12) 8000 = 6.42 inch kips.

that d = 2". (In the positive moment region)
Mr =0.85AsFy(2-a 2); In this equation As is the area (per ft.) of the wire
mesh which has an Fy of 60 ksi. If bars are being investigated, the Fy
would have to be adjusted accordingly. (Note that is 0.9 in the ACI but
is 0.85 in the SDI method.)
a = AsFy (0.85f'cb), where b is 12"; assume As is the area of 6 x 6 W1.4 x

a = 0.028(60000) (0.85 x 3000 x 12) = 0.055"
Mweak = 0.85(0.028)(60000)(2 - .055 2) = 2816 inch lbs per foot of width.
2816 > 2582 O.K. The SDI minimum welded wire mesh is sufficient.
Check the deflection under the concentrated load:
Iav = 6.3 in.4 ft. of width.
Put the load in the center of the span, and, for simplicity, use concentrated
load coefficients.
y = Pl3 (48EI); P (per foot) = 2000(12) 59 = 407 lbs.
y = 407(9)3(1728) (48 x 29.5 x 106 x 6.3) = 0.06"
0.06" is approximately l 1800, this should be O.K.
All model building codes require, for some building classifications, the slab
to be capable of carrying a 1000 or 2000 lb. load over a 30" x 30" area.
The methods shown in this example problem can be used for that
particular loading - the footprint of the load would, of course, be larger.
This code requirement will probably never be the controlling factor for a
steel deck composite slab.
In most cases building codes or other reference literature will call for a
uniform live load. For instance the 1996 BOCA code calls for offices to
be capable of carrying 50 psf, lobbies 100 psf, and corridors 80 psf.
These loads can be looked up directly in the Lok-Floor and B-Lok tables
since the tables have printed L, the live load, by solving the equation
Mn = (1.6L + 1.2D) l2/8 for L.
The dead load, D, is taken as the slab and deck weight as shown in the
example problem. Although it is possible that some load combination
other than 1.6L + 1.2D may control, in most cases this combination is
critical. For any combination of loading, the M values can be used to
calculate the limits.

N-LOK

N-LOK
N Lok is a special version of composite deck. It was originally conceived
as a second use for the N tooling used to make 3" deep roof deck.
Unfortunately the rib dimension of the deck is narrow and the w/h ratio is
too low to use it efficiently with shear studs for composite beams. The N
Lok properties table is therefore shown for the no stud case only. N
Lok is particulary useful in applications that use the product as roof deck
with the intention of later ripping off the roof and pouring a floor.

The Composite Properties are a list of values for the composite slab. The
slab depth is the distance from the bottom of the steel deck to the top of the
slab in inches as shown on the sketch. U.L. ratings generally refer to the
cover over the top of the deck so it is important to be aware of the difference
in names. Ac is the area of concrete available to resist shear, in.2 per foot of
width. W is the concrete weight in pounds per ft.2. Sc is the section modulus
of the cracked concrete composite slab; in.3 per foot of width. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia of the
transformed composite slab; in.4 per foot of width. The Iav transformed section
analysis is based on steel; therefore, to calculate deflections the appropriate
modulus of elasticity to use is 29.5 x 106 psi. Mno is the factored resisting
moment of the composite slab with no studs on the beams (the deck is
attached to the beams or walls on which it is resting) inch kips per foot of
width. Vnt is the factored vertical shear resistance of the composite system;
it is the sum of the shear resistances of the steel deck and the concrete but is
not allowed to exceed 4(f'c)Ac; pounds (per foot of width). The next three
columns list the maximum unshored spans in feet; these values are
obtained by using the construction loading requirements of the SDI;
combined bending and shear, deflection, and interior reactions are
considered in calculating these values.

The Composite Properties are a list of values for the


composite slab. The slab depth is the distance from the
bottom of the steel deck to the top of the slab in inches as
shown on the sketch. U.L. ratings generally refer to the cover
over the top of the deck so it is important to be aware of the
difference in names. Mnf is the factored resisting moment
provided by the composite slab when the full number of
studs as shown in the upper table are in place; inch kips (per
foot of width). Ac is the area of concrete available to resist
shear, in.2 per foot of width. Vol. is the volume of concrete in
ft.3 per ft.2 needed to make up the slab; no allowance for frame
or deck deflection is included. W is the concrete weight in
pounds per ft.2. Sc is the section modulus of the cracked
concrete composite slab; in.3 per foot of width. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; in.4 per foot of width. The Iav
transformed section analysis is based on steel; therefore, to
calculate deflections the appropriate modulus of elasticity to use
is 29.5 x 106 psi. Mno is the factored resisting moment of the
composite slab if there are no studs on the beams (the deck
is attached to the beams or walls on which it is resting) inch
kips (per foot of width). Vnt is the factored vertical shear
resistance of the composite system; it is the sum of the shear
resistances of the steel deck and the concrete but is not
allowed to exceed 4(f'c)Ac; pounds (per foot of width). The
next three columns list the maximum unshored spans in
feet; these values are obtained by using the construction
loading requirements of the SDI; combined bending and
shear, deflection, and interior reactions are considered in
calculating these values. Awwf is the minimum area of welded
wire fabric recommended for temperature reinforcing in the
composite slab; square inches per foot.

DECK PROPERTIES

18 gage

The Deck Section Properties are per foot of width. The I


value is for positive bending (in.4); t is the gage thickness in
inches; w is the weight in pounds per square foot; Sp and Sn
are the section moduli for positive and negative bending (in.3);
Rb and Vn. are the interior reaction and the shear in pounds
(per foot of width); studs is the number of studs required per foot
in order to obtain the full resisting moment, Mnf.

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on
the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L+1.2D)l2 8.
Although there are other load combinations
that may require investigation, this will
control most of the time. The equation
assumes there is no negative bending
reinforcement over the beams and
therefore each composite slab is a single
span. Two sets of values are shown; Mnf
is used to calculate the uniform load when
the full required number of studs is present;
Mno is used to calculate the load when no
studs are present. A straight line
interpolation can be done if the average
number of studs is between zero and the
required number needed to develop the
full factored moment. The tabulated loads
are checked for shear controlling (it seldom
does), and also limited to a live load
deflection of 1/360 of the span.
An upper limit of 400 psf has been applied
to the tabulated loads. This has been done
to guard against equating large concentrated to uniform loads. Concentrated loads
may require special analysis and design to
take care of servicibility requirements not
covered by simply using a uniform load
value. On the other hand, for any load
combination the values provided by the
composite properties can be used in the
calculations.
Welded wire fabric in the required amount
is assumed for the table values. If welded
wire fabric is not present, deduct 10%
from the listed loads.
Refer to the example problems for the use
of the tables.

The Composite Properties are a list of values for the


composite slab. The slab depth is the distance from the
bottom of the steel deck to the top of the slab in inches as
shown on the sketch. U.L. ratings generally refer to the cover
over the top of the deck so it is important to be aware of the
difference in names. Mnf is the factored resisting moment
provided by the composite slab when the full number of
studs as shown in the upper table are in place; inch kips (per
foot of width). Ac is the area of concrete available to resist
shear, in.2 per foot of width. Vol. is the volume of concrete in
ft.3 per ft.2 needed to make up the slab; no allowance for frame
or deck deflection is included. W is the concrete weight in
pounds per ft.2. Sc is the section modulus of the cracked
concrete composite slab; in.3 per foot of width. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; in.4 per foot of width. The Iav
transformed section analysis is based on steel; therefore, to
calculate deflections the appropriate modulus of elasticity to use
is 29.5 x 106 psi. Mno is the factored resisting moment of the
composite slab if there are no studs on the beams (the deck
is attached to the beams or walls on which it is resting) inch
kips (per foot of width). Vnt is the factored vertical shear
resistance of the composite system; it is the sum of the shear
resistances of the steel deck and the concrete but is not
allowed to exceed 4(f'c)Ac; pounds (per foot of width). The
next three columns list the maximum unshored spans in
feet; these values are obtained by using the construction
loading requirements of the SDI; combined bending and
shear, deflection, and interior reactions are considered in
calculating these values. Awwf is the minimum area of welded
wire fabric recommended for temperature reinforcing in the
composite slab; square inches per foot.

The Deck Section Properties are per foot of width. The I


value is for positive bending (in.4); t is the gage thickness in
inches; w is the weight in pounds per square foot; Sp and Sn
are the section moduli for positive and negative bending (in.3);
Rb and Vn. are the interior reaction and the shear in pounds
(per foot of width); studs is the number of studs required per foot
in order to obtain the full resisting moment, Mnf.

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on
the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L+1.2D)l2 8.
Although there are other load combinations
that may require investigation, this will
control most of the time. The equation
assumes there is no negative bending
reinforcement over the beams and
therefore each composite slab is a single
span. Two sets of values are shown; Mnf
is used to calculate the uniform load when
the full required number of studs is present;
Mno is used to calculate the load when no
studs are present. A straight line
interpolation can be done if the average
number of studs is between zero and the
required number needed to develop the
full factored moment. The tabulated loads
are checked for shear controlling (it seldom
does), and also limited to a live load
deflection of 1/360 of the span.
An upper limit of 400 psf has been applied
to the tabulated loads. This has been done
to guard against equating large concentrated to uniform loads. Concentrated loads
may require special analysis and design to
take care of servicibility requirements not
covered by simply using a uniform load
value. On the other hand, for any load
combination the values provided by the
composite properties can be used in the
calculations.
Welded wire fabric in the required amount
is assumed for the table values. If welded
wire fabric is not present, deduct 10%
from the listed loads.
Refer to the example problems for the use
of the tables.

The Composite Properties are a list of values for the


composite slab. The slab depth is the distance from the
bottom of the steel deck to the top of the slab in inches as
shown on the sketch. U.L. ratings generally refer to the cover
over the top of the deck so it is important to be aware of the
difference in names. Mnf is the factored resisting moment
provided by the composite slab when the full number of
studs as shown in the upper table are in place; inch kips (per
foot of width). Ac is the area of concrete available to resist
shear, in.2 per foot of width. Vol. is the volume of concrete in
ft.3 per ft.2 needed to make up the slab; no allowance for frame
or deck deflection is included. W is the concrete weight in
pounds per ft.2. Sc is the section modulus of the cracked
concrete composite slab; in.3 per foot of width. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; in.4 per foot of width. The Iav
transformed section analysis is based on steel; therefore, to
calculate deflections the appropriate modulus of elasticity to use
is 29.5 x 106 psi. Mno is the factored resisting moment of the
composite slab if there are no studs on the beams (the deck
is attached to the beams or walls on which it is resting) inch
kips (per foot of width). Vnt is the factored vertical shear
resistance of the composite system; it is the sum of the shear
resistances of the steel deck and the concrete but is not
allowed to exceed 4(f'c)Ac; pounds (per foot of width). The
next three columns list the maximum unshored spans in
feet; these values are obtained by using the construction
loading requirements of the SDI; combined bending and
shear, deflection, and interior reactions are considered in
calculating these values. Awwf is the minimum area of welded
wire fabric recommended for temperature reinforcing in the
composite slab; square inches per foot.

The Deck Section Properties are per foot of width. The I


value is for positive bending (in.4); t is the gage thickness in
inches; w is the weight in pounds per square foot; Sp and Sn
are the section moduli for positive and negative bending (in.3);
Rb and Vn. are the interior reaction and the shear in pounds
(per foot of width); studs is the number of studs required per foot
in order to obtain the full resisting moment, Mnf.

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on
the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L+1.2D)l2 8.
Although there are other load combinations
that may require investigation, this will
control most of the time. The equation
assumes there is no negative bending
reinforcement over the beams and
therefore each composite slab is a single
span. Two sets of values are shown; Mnf
is used to calculate the uniform load when
the full required number of studs is present;
Mno is used to calculate the load when no
studs are present. A straight line
interpolation can be done if the average
number of studs is between zero and the
required number needed to develop the
full factored moment. The tabulated loads
are checked for shear controlling (it seldom
does), and also limited to a live load
deflection of 1/360 of the span.
An upper limit of 400 psf has been applied
to the tabulated loads. This has been done
to guard against equating large concentrated to uniform loads. Concentrated loads
may require special analysis and design to
take care of servicibility requirements not
covered by simply using a uniform load
value. On the other hand, for any load
combination the values provided by the
composite properties can be used in the
calculations.
Welded wire fabric in the required amount
is assumed for the table values. If welded
wire fabric is not present, deduct 10%
from the listed loads.
Refer to the example problems for the use
of the tables.

The Composite Properties are a list of values for the


composite slab. The slab depth is the distance from the
bottom of the steel deck to the top of the slab in inches as
shown on the sketch. U.L. ratings generally refer to the cover
over the top of the deck so it is important to be aware of the
difference in names. Mnf is the factored resisting moment
provided by the composite slab when the full number of
studs as shown in the upper table are in place; inch kips (per
foot of width). Ac is the area of concrete available to resist
shear, in.2 per foot of width. Vol. is the volume of concrete in
ft.3 per ft.2 needed to make up the slab; no allowance for frame
or deck deflection is included. W is the concrete weight in
pounds per ft.2. Sc is the section modulus of the cracked
concrete composite slab; in.3 per foot of width. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; in.4 per foot of width. The Iav
transformed section analysis is based on steel; therefore, to
calculate deflections the appropriate modulus of elasticity to use
is 29.5 x 106 psi. Mno is the factored resisting moment of the
composite slab if there are no studs on the beams (the deck
is attached to the beams or walls on which it is resting) inch
kips (per foot of width). Vnt is the factored vertical shear
resistance of the composite system; it is the sum of the shear
resistances of the steel deck and the concrete but is not
allowed to exceed 4(f'c)Ac; pounds (per foot of width). The
next three columns list the maximum unshored spans in
feet; these values are obtained by using the construction
loading requirements of the SDI; combined bending and
shear, deflection, and interior reactions are considered in
calculating these values. Awwf is the minimum area of welded
wire fabric recommended for temperature reinforcing in the
composite slab; square inches per foot.

DECK PROPERTIES

18 gage

The Deck Section Properties are per foot of width. The I


value is for positive bending (in.4); t is the gage thickness in
inches; w is the weight in pounds per square foot; Sp and Sn
are the section moduli for positive and negative bending (in.3);
Rb and Vn. are the interior reaction and the shear in pounds
(per foot of width); studs is the number of studs required per foot
in order to obtain the full resisting moment, Mnf.

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on
the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L+1.2D)l2 8.
Although there are other load combinations
that may require investigation, this will
control most of the time. The equation
assumes there is no negative bending
reinforcement over the beams and
therefore each composite slab is a single
span. Two sets of values are shown; Mnf
is used to calculate the uniform load when
the full required number of studs is present;
Mno is used to calculate the load when no
studs are present. A straight line
interpolation can be done if the average
number of studs is between zero and the
required number needed to develop the
full factored moment. The tabulated loads
are checked for shear controlling (it seldom
does), and also limited to a live load
deflection of 1/360 of the span.
An upper limit of 400 psf has been applied
to the tabulated loads. This has been done
to guard against equating large concentrated to uniform loads. Concentrated loads
may require special analysis and design to
take care of servicibility requirements not
covered by simply using a uniform load
value. On the other hand, for any load
combination the values provided by the
composite properties can be used in the
calculations.
Welded wire fabric in the required amount
is assumed for the table values. If welded
wire fabric is not present, deduct 10%
from the listed loads.
Refer to the example problems for the use
of the tables.

The Composite Properties are a list of values for the


composite slab. The slab depth is the distance from the
bottom of the steel deck to the top of the slab in inches as
shown on the sketch. U.L. ratings generally refer to the cover
over the top of the deck so it is important to be aware of the
difference in names. Mnf is the factored resisting moment
provided by the composite slab when the full number of
studs as shown in the upper table are in place; inch kips (per
foot of width). Ac is the area of concrete available to resist
shear, in.2 per foot of width. Vol. is the volume of concrete in
ft.3 per ft.2 needed to make up the slab; no allowance for frame
or deck deflection is included. W is the concrete weight in
pounds per ft.2. Sc is the section modulus of the cracked
concrete composite slab; in.3 per foot of width. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; in.4 per foot of width. The Iav
transformed section analysis is based on steel; therefore, to
calculate deflections the appropriate modulus of elasticity to use
is 29.5 x 106 psi. Mno is the factored resisting moment of the
composite slab if there are no studs on the beams (the deck
is attached to the beams or walls on which it is resting) inch
kips (per foot of width). Vnt is the factored vertical shear
resistance of the composite system; it is the sum of the shear
resistances of the steel deck and the concrete but is not
allowed to exceed 4(f'c)Ac; pounds (per foot of width). The
next three columns list the maximum unshored spans in
feet; these values are obtained by using the construction
loading requirements of the SDI; combined bending and
shear, deflection, and interior reactions are considered in
calculating these values. Awwf is the minimum area of welded
wire fabric recommended for temperature reinforcing in the
composite slab; square inches per foot.

The Deck Section Properties are per foot of width. The I


value is for positive bending (in.4); t is the gage thickness in
inches; w is the weight in pounds per square foot; Sp and Sn
are the section moduli for positive and negative bending (in.3);
Rb and Vn. are the interior reaction and the shear in pounds
(per foot of width); studs is the number of studs required per foot
in order to obtain the full resisting moment, Mnf.

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on
the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L+1.2D)l2 8.
Although there are other load combinations
that may require investigation, this will
control most of the time. The equation
assumes there is no negative bending
reinforcement over the beams and
therefore each composite slab is a single
span. Two sets of values are shown; Mnf
is used to calculate the uniform load when
the full required number of studs is present;
Mno is used to calculate the load when no
studs are present. A straight line
interpolation can be done if the average
number of studs is between zero and the
required number needed to develop the
full factored moment. The tabulated loads
are checked for shear controlling (it seldom
does), and also limited to a live load
deflection of 1/360 of the span.
An upper limit of 400 psf has been applied
to the tabulated loads. This has been done
to guard against equating large concentrated to uniform loads. Concentrated loads
may require special analysis and design to
take care of servicibility requirements not
covered by simply using a uniform load
value. On the other hand, for any load
combination the values provided by the
composite properties can be used in the
calculations.
Welded wire fabric in the required amount
is assumed for the table values. If welded
wire fabric is not present, deduct 10%
from the listed loads.
Refer to the example problems for the use
of the tables.

The Composite Properties are a list of values for the


composite slab. The slab depth is the distance from the
bottom of the steel deck to the top of the slab in inches as
shown on the sketch. U.L. ratings generally refer to the cover
over the top of the deck so it is important to be aware of the
difference in names. Mnf is the factored resisting moment
provided by the composite slab when the full number of
studs as shown in the upper table are in place; inch kips (per
foot of width). Ac is the area of concrete available to resist
shear, in.2 per foot of width. Vol. is the volume of concrete in
ft.3 per ft.2 needed to make up the slab; no allowance for frame
or deck deflection is included. W is the concrete weight in
pounds per ft.2. Sc is the section modulus of the cracked
concrete composite slab; in.3 per foot of width. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; in.4 per foot of width. The Iav
transformed section analysis is based on steel; therefore, to
calculate deflections the appropriate modulus of elasticity to use
is 29.5 x 106 psi. Mno is the factored resisting moment of the
composite slab if there are no studs on the beams (the deck
is attached to the beams or walls on which it is resting) inch
kips (per foot of width). Vnt is the factored vertical shear
resistance of the composite system; it is the sum of the shear
resistances of the steel deck and the concrete but is not
allowed to exceed 4(f'c)Ac; pounds (per foot of width). The
next three columns list the maximum unshored spans in
feet; these values are obtained by using the construction
loading requirements of the SDI; combined bending and
shear, deflection, and interior reactions are considered in
calculating these values. Awwf is the minimum area of welded
wire fabric recommended for temperature reinforcing in the
composite slab; square inches per foot.

The Deck Section Properties are per foot of width. The I


value is for positive bending (in.4); t is the gage thickness in
inches; w is the weight in pounds per square foot; Sp and Sn
are the section moduli for positive and negative bending (in.3);
Rb and Vn. are the interior reaction and the shear in pounds
(per foot of width); studs is the number of studs required per foot
in order to obtain the full resisting moment, Mnf.

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on
the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L+1.2D)l2 8.
Although there are other load combinations
that may require investigation, this will
control most of the time. The equation
assumes there is no negative bending
reinforcement over the beams and
therefore each composite slab is a single
span. Two sets of values are shown; Mnf
is used to calculate the uniform load when
the full required number of studs is present;
Mno is used to calculate the load when no
studs are present. A straight line
interpolation can be done if the average
number of studs is between zero and the
required number needed to develop the
full factored moment. The tabulated loads
are checked for shear controlling (it seldom
does), and also limited to a live load
deflection of 1/360 of the span.
An upper limit of 400 psf has been applied
to the tabulated loads. This has been done
to guard against equating large concentrated to uniform loads. Concentrated loads
may require special analysis and design to
take care of servicibility requirements not
covered by simply using a uniform load
value. On the other hand, for any load
combination the values provided by the
composite properties can be used in the
calculations.
Welded wire fabric in the required amount
is assumed for the table values. If welded
wire fabric is not present, deduct 10%
from the listed loads.
Refer to the example problems for the use
of the tables.

The Composite Properties are a list of values for the


composite slab. The slab depth is the distance from the
bottom of the steel deck to the top of the slab in inches as
shown on the sketch. U.L. ratings generally refer to the cover
over the top of the deck so it is important to be aware of the
difference in names. Mnf is the factored resisting moment
provided by the composite slab when the full number of
studs as shown in the upper table are in place; inch kips (per
foot of width). Ac is the area of concrete available to resist
shear, in.2 per foot of width. Vol. is the volume of concrete in
ft.3 per ft.2 needed to make up the slab; no allowance for frame
or deck deflection is included. W is the concrete weight in
pounds per ft.2. Sc is the section modulus of the cracked
concrete composite slab; in.3 per foot of width. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; in.4 per foot of width. The Iav
transformed section analysis is based on steel; therefore, to
calculate deflections the appropriate modulus of elasticity to use
is 29.5 x 106 psi. Mno is the factored resisting moment of the
composite slab if there are no studs on the beams (the deck
is attached to the beams or walls on which it is resting) inch
kips (per foot of width). Vnt is the factored vertical shear
resistance of the composite system; it is the sum of the shear
resistances of the steel deck and the concrete but is not
allowed to exceed 4(f'c)Ac; pounds (per foot of width). The
next three columns list the maximum unshored spans in
feet; these values are obtained by using the construction
loading requirements of the SDI; combined bending and
shear, deflection, and interior reactions are considered in
calculating these values. Awwf is the minimum area of welded
wire fabric recommended for temperature reinforcing in the
composite slab; square inches per foot.

The Deck Section Properties are per foot of width. The I


value is for positive bending (in.4); t is the gage thickness in
inches; w is the weight in pounds per square foot; Sp and Sn
are the section moduli for positive and negative bending (in.3);
Rb and Vn. are the interior reaction and the shear in pounds
(per foot of width); studs is the number of studs required per foot
in order to obtain the full resisting moment, Mnf.

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on
the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L+1.2D)l2 8.
Although there are other load combinations
that may require investigation, this will
control most of the time. The equation
assumes there is no negative bending
reinforcement over the beams and
therefore each composite slab is a single
span. Two sets of values are shown; Mnf
is used to calculate the uniform load when
the full required number of studs is present;
Mno is used to calculate the load when no
studs are present. A straight line
interpolation can be done if the average
number of studs is between zero and the
required number needed to develop the
full factored moment. The tabulated loads
are checked for shear controlling (it seldom
does), and also limited to a live load
deflection of 1/360 of the span.
An upper limit of 400 psf has been applied
to the tabulated loads. This has been done
to guard against equating large concentrated to uniform loads. Concentrated loads
may require special analysis and design to
take care of servicibility requirements not
covered by simply using a uniform load
value. On the other hand, for any load
combination the values provided by the
composite properties can be used in the
calculations.
Welded wire fabric in the required amount
is assumed for the table values. If welded
wire fabric is not present, deduct 10%
from the listed loads.
Refer to the example problems for the use
of the tables.

The Composite Properties are a list of values for the


composite slab. The slab depth is the distance from the
bottom of the steel deck to the top of the slab in inches as
shown on the sketch. U.L. ratings generally refer to the cover
over the top of the deck so it is important to be aware of the
difference in names. Mnf is the factored resisting moment
provided by the composite slab when the full number of
studs as shown in the upper table are in place; inch kips (per
foot of width). Ac is the area of concrete available to resist
shear, in.2 per foot of width. Vol. is the volume of concrete in
ft.3 per ft.2 needed to make up the slab; no allowance for frame
or deck deflection is included. W is the concrete weight in
pounds per ft.2. Sc is the section modulus of the cracked
concrete composite slab; in.3 per foot of width. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; in.4 per foot of width. The Iav
transformed section analysis is based on steel; therefore, to
calculate deflections the appropriate modulus of elasticity to use
is 29.5 x 106 psi. Mno is the factored resisting moment of the
composite slab if there are no studs on the beams (the deck
is attached to the beams or walls on which it is resting) inch
kips (per foot of width). Vnt is the factored vertical shear
resistance of the composite system; it is the sum of the shear
resistances of the steel deck and the concrete but is not
allowed to exceed 4(f'c)Ac; pounds (per foot of width). The
next three columns list the maximum unshored spans in
feet; these values are obtained by using the construction
loading requirements of the SDI; combined bending and
shear, deflection, and interior reactions are considered in
calculating these values. Awwf is the minimum area of welded
wire fabric recommended for temperature reinforcing in the
composite slab; square inches per foot.

The Deck Section Properties are per foot of width. The I


value is for positive bending (in.4); t is the gage thickness in
inches; w is the weight in pounds per square foot; Sp and Sn
are the section moduli for positive and negative bending (in.3);
Rb and Vn. are the interior reaction and the shear in pounds
(per foot of width); studs is the number of studs required per foot
in order to obtain the full resisting moment, Mnf.

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on
the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L+1.2D)l2 8.
Although there are other load combinations
that may require investigation, this will
control most of the time. The equation
assumes there is no negative bending
reinforcement over the beams and
therefore each composite slab is a single
span. Two sets of values are shown; Mnf
is used to calculate the uniform load when
the full required number of studs is present;
Mno is used to calculate the load when no
studs are present. A straight line
interpolation can be done if the average
number of studs is between zero and the
required number needed to develop the
full factored moment. The tabulated loads
are checked for shear controlling (it seldom
does), and also limited to a live load
deflection of 1/360 of the span.
An upper limit of 400 psf has been applied
to the tabulated loads. This has been done
to guard against equating large concentrated to uniform loads. Concentrated loads
may require special analysis and design to
take care of servicibility requirements not
covered by simply using a uniform load
value. On the other hand, for any load
combination the values provided by the
composite properties can be used in the
calculations.
Welded wire fabric in the required amount
is assumed for the table values. If welded
wire fabric is not present, deduct 10%
from the listed loads.
Refer to the example problems for the use
of the tables.

The Composite Properties are a list of values for the


composite slab. The slab depth is the distance from the
bottom of the steel deck to the top of the slab in inches as
shown on the sketch. U.L. ratings generally refer to the cover
over the top of the deck so it is important to be aware of the
difference in names. Mnf is the factored resisting moment
provided by the composite slab when the full number of
studs as shown in the upper table are in place; inch kips (per
foot of width). Ac is the area of concrete available to resist
shear, in.2 per foot of width. Vol. is the volume of concrete in
ft.3 per ft.2 needed to make up the slab; no allowance for frame
or deck deflection is included. W is the concrete weight in
pounds per ft.2. Sc is the section modulus of the cracked
concrete composite slab; in.3 per foot of width. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; in.4 per foot of width. The Iav
transformed section analysis is based on steel; therefore, to
calculate deflections the appropriate modulus of elasticity to use
is 29.5 x 106 psi. Mno is the factored resisting moment of the
composite slab if there are no studs on the beams (the deck
is attached to the beams or walls on which it is resting) inch
kips (per foot of width). Vnt is the factored vertical shear
resistance of the composite system; it is the sum of the shear
resistances of the steel deck and the concrete but is not
allowed to exceed 4(f'c)Ac; pounds (per foot of width). The
next three columns list the maximum unshored spans in
feet; these values are obtained by using the construction
loading requirements of the SDI; combined bending and
shear, deflection, and interior reactions are considered in
calculating these values. Awwf is the minimum area of welded
wire fabric recommended for temperature reinforcing in the
composite slab; square inches per foot.

The Deck Section Properties are per foot of width. The I


value is for positive bending (in.4); t is the gage thickness in
inches; w is the weight in pounds per square foot; Sp and Sn
are the section moduli for positive and negative bending (in.3);
Rb and Vn. are the interior reaction and the shear in pounds
(per foot of width); studs is the number of studs required per foot
in order to obtain the full resisting moment, Mnf.

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on
the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L+1.2D)l2 8.
Although there are other load combinations
that may require investigation, this will
control most of the time. The equation
assumes there is no negative bending
reinforcement over the beams and
therefore each composite slab is a single
span. Two sets of values are shown; Mnf
is used to calculate the uniform load when
the full required number of studs is present;
Mno is used to calculate the load when no
studs are present. A straight line
interpolation can be done if the average
number of studs is between zero and the
required number needed to develop the
full factored moment. The tabulated loads
are checked for shear controlling (it seldom
does), and also limited to a live load
deflection of 1/360 of the span.
An upper limit of 400 psf has been applied
to the tabulated loads. This has been done
to guard against equating large concentrated to uniform loads. Concentrated loads
may require special analysis and design to
take care of servicibility requirements not
covered by simply using a uniform load
value. On the other hand, for any load
combination the values provided by the
composite properties can be used in the
calculations.
Welded wire fabric in the required amount
is assumed for the table values. If welded
wire fabric is not present, deduct 10%
from the listed loads.
Refer to the example problems for the use
of the tables.

The Composite Properties are a list of values for the


composite slab. The slab depth is the distance from the
bottom of the steel deck to the top of the slab in inches as
shown on the sketch. U.L. ratings generally refer to the cover
over the top of the deck so it is important to be aware of the
difference in names. Mnf is the factored resisting moment
provided by the composite slab when the full number of
studs as shown in the upper table are in place; inch kips (per
foot of width). Ac is the area of concrete available to resist
shear, in.2 per foot of width. Vol. is the volume of concrete in
ft.3 per ft.2 needed to make up the slab; no allowance for frame
or deck deflection is included. W is the concrete weight in
pounds per ft.2. Sc is the section modulus of the cracked
concrete composite slab; in.3 per foot of width. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; in.4 per foot of width. The Iav
transformed section analysis is based on steel; therefore, to
calculate deflections the appropriate modulus of elasticity to use
is 29.5 x 106 psi. Mno is the factored resisting moment of the
composite slab if there are no studs on the beams (the deck
is attached to the beams or walls on which it is resting) inch
kips (per foot of width). Vnt is the factored vertical shear
resistance of the composite system; it is the sum of the shear
resistances of the steel deck and the concrete but is not
allowed to exceed 4(f'c)Ac; pounds (per foot of width). The
next three columns list the maximum unshored spans in
feet; these values are obtained by using the construction
loading requirements of the SDI; combined bending and
shear, deflection, and interior reactions are considered in
calculating these values. Awwf is the minimum area of welded
wire fabric recommended for temperature reinforcing in the
composite slab; square inches per foot.

The Deck Section Properties are per foot of width. The I


value is for positive bending (in.4); t is the gage thickness in
inches; w is the weight in pounds per square foot; Sp and Sn
are the section moduli for positive and negative bending (in.3);
Rb and Vn. are the interior reaction and the shear in pounds
(per foot of width); studs is the number of studs required per foot
in order to obtain the full resisting moment, Mnf.

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on
the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L+1.2D)l2 8.
Although there are other load combinations
that may require investigation, this will
control most of the time. The equation
assumes there is no negative bending
reinforcement over the beams and
therefore each composite slab is a single
span. Two sets of values are shown; Mnf
is used to calculate the uniform load when
the full required number of studs is present;
Mno is used to calculate the load when no
studs are present. A straight line
interpolation can be done if the average
number of studs is between zero and the
required number needed to develop the
full factored moment. The tabulated loads
are checked for shear controlling (it seldom
does), and also limited to a live load
deflection of 1/360 of the span.
An upper limit of 400 psf has been applied
to the tabulated loads. This has been done
to guard against equating large concentrated to uniform loads. Concentrated loads
may require special analysis and design to
take care of servicibility requirements not
covered by simply using a uniform load
value. On the other hand, for any load
combination the values provided by the
composite properties can be used in the
calculations.
Welded wire fabric in the required amount
is assumed for the table values. If welded
wire fabric is not present, deduct 10%
from the listed loads.
Refer to the example problems for the use
of the tables.

In electrified floors, cellular units are usually blended with non cellular units the load tables for the weaker section controls. For total cellular applications use
these section properties or call the Summit, N.J. office for individual load tables. Live loads can be obtained from the composite deck tables in this manual.
Use the deck gage that is the same as the top hat of the cellular deck; i.e., for 18/20 LFC3 use the properties shown for 18 gage (0.0474")LF3.
U.S.D. offers a complete line of trench headers and activation kits. Preset inserts are available with most sections. Cellular units that show 36 inch cover have
an additional cell to make up the width. Call or write for the Activ-Way brochure.

Check List for Electrified Floor Deck


Check the fire rating requirements Designs Dxxx in U.L. Fire Resistance Directory. If floors are accessed for electric (power) or communications, and a
fire rating is required, then the deck must be fireproofed and a 2.5" cover of concrete is usually chosen. Galvanized steel is always required for cellular deck.
Check to determine which blend of cellular and non cellular decks will provide the needed wiring - blending of units saves money.
Check load requirements in the trench header span. The trench interrupts the slab and the loads must be handled by:
1. shortening the deck span that carries the trench; or, 2. using a heavier gage deck; or, 3. reinforcing the slab as a cantilever; or, 4. placing the trench
over (or close to) a beam; or, 5. a combination of these methods.

1. United Steel Deck, Inc., is not


responsible for the adhesive ability of
any spray applied fire protection
material, or for any treatment, cleaning,
or preparation of the deck surface
required for adhesion of fire protection
material.
2. The live loads shown in the
composite tables may require a
reduction if a U.L. fire rating is required.
The worst load reduction for any design
is 40%. Designs D733, D742, D825,
D840, D860, D902, D907, D914, and
D916 do not require a reduction if the
sidelaps are attached at 24" o.c. as
was used in the fire test.
3. Be sure to check the U.L. Fire
Resistance Directory for all details of
construction.
4. Listings marked with * allow the
use of phosphatized/painted noncellular
deck except LF15. All D9xx listings
allow the use of phosphatized/painted
noncellular deck.
5.

IN THE F.P. COLUMN:


S = suspended ceiling
F = fibrous fireproofing
C = cementitious
N = no fireproofing on the deck.

6. The concrete cover is measured


from the top of the deck - add the deck
depth to get the total slab thickness.
7. The BSA approvals for use in New
York City are 620-76-SM (2 hours) and
621-76-SM (3 hours).

The following information is taken


from the Steel Deck Institute
publication Composite Deck
Design Handbook, 1997 edition:
In the Underwriter Fire Resistance
Directory the composite deck
constructions show hourly ratings for
restrained and unrestrained
assemblies. ASTM E119 provides
information in appendix X3 called
Guide for Determining Conditions of
Restraint for Floor and Roof
Assemblies and for Individual
Beams. After a careful review of this
guide the Steel Deck Institute
determined that all interior and
exterior spans of multispan deck
properly attached to steel framing are
restrained. Additonally, all multiple
span composite deck slabs attached
to bearing walls are restrained. In
fact, there is almost no realistic
condition in which a composite deckslab could not be considered to be
restrained - perhaps a single span
deck system which is unattached to
framing or a wall in order to provide
a removable slab.
