MULTI - STOREY STEEL BUILDING SYSTEMMULTI - STOREY STEEL BUILDING SYSTEMS ulti - storey buildings in steel have been used extensively in Eurape and surrounding areas since the 1940's. With taday’s advanced technology and latest innovations, the use of structural steel and concrete campasite design is being applied inthe construction of muti - storey buildings. In addition to a faster construction speed ‘an increased economy is achieved when applying such design techniques.

(87tons /inch’). DECKING SHEETS Decking sheets are fixed to the top flange of beams with self dling screws. The decking sheets are designed to free span between the beams, therefore eliminating the need for props and shuttering during the casting of the concrete slab. This makes the construction method very quick and efiient since the contractor does nat need to wait for the curing time ofthe concrete stb before maving ta upper subsequent floor eves TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF DECKING SHEETS (A densions nam) Enbosanents slog poe fr ena engagement [EFFECTIVE WIDTH =1,000mm 12, 2245 8 B 5 ‘i 26146) gs 8883 a Se 1978 1355+ 5 cKit LE ROFI + Analuznc coated angular trough pratt used with thickness varying fram OSmm ta L2mm depending upon the desig led + The decking sheets acts as permanent shutter supporting both the construction and final design loads end therefore the bottom of the shutter acts as the slab soffit finish. + The composite steel beam and concrete deck system can be designed to accommodate loads of 2.kn/n* for light weight office blacks and I0.0kn/n' far heavy industrial ned and carpark systems.
