Introduction
Multideck 50
Multideck 50-V3 is a high performance, Multideck 50-V3 Floor Decking System
profiled, galvanised steel floor decking for As part of the Kingspan ethos of continuous product and
use in the construction of composite floor service development, the Multideck 50 system has recently
been subject to a number of design improvements that have
slabs. The profile may also be used as a significantly improved the capability of the product.
permanent shuttering. As a consequence of the design improvements and an extension
of the range of gauges available, the new Multideck 50-V3
provides enhanced performance criteria and the potential to
deliver both design and economic benefits compared to the
previous V2 system.
Following extensive testing, which investigated the product
performance at both construction and composite stages, new
performance paradigms and load tables have been produced to
Multideck 60
allow designers to take advantage of the improvements.
Multideck 50-V3 has the following attributes:
– 50mm ‘Dovetail’ rib profile, maximising deck bond
to concrete;
– Minimum slab depth of 100mm;
– Unpropped construction stage spans up to 4.4m;
– Gauge range available up to 1.20mm;
– Shear keys on flange and webs of ribs give class-leading
load capacity;
– 1 hour fire performance with 100mm slab depth;
– Fire performance up to 4 hours;
– Acoustic robust solution.
Key benefits to using the Multideck Floor System include:
– The larger range of Multideck gauge thicknesses allow closer
matching of design requirements and deck performance,
resulting in greater design efficiency.
– Eliminating the need for temporary props, under most
Multideck 80
conditions, Multideck 50-V3 offers quick and efficient
installation.
– A wide range of accessories also allows for easy installation
of ceilings and services.
– Our Technical Services Department also provides an
engineering and advisory service to specifiers and end users
on the use of the Multideck range of composite decks.
– The Multideck Toolkit design software includes
comprehensive composite floor design which allows
the user to easily select the right Multideck solution.

Notes:
The tables are based on a minimum concrete density of 2350kgs/m3 and can be used with mesh or Dramix® Steel Fibre reinforcement.
Lightweight concrete may lead to a reduction in acoustic performance of about 2dB to 3dB on the values shown above.
Values of DnT,w are available from our Technical Services Department.
The junction details between the walls and floors must be appropriately detailed to ensure that flanking sound is minimised.
The values in the table are based on the new (since 2003) measurement index DnT,w + Ctr for airborne sound. The Ctr term is a spectrum adaptation value which is generally
negative and adjusts the index to take account of low frequency sounds that often cause problems in residential buildings. Thus the DnT,w + Ctr rating is lower than the DnT,w
rating for the same construction.
Kingspan Insulated Panels’ Structural Products & Systems sub-division is a member of The Steel Construction Institute and has undertaken extensive testing on the accoustic
performance of the Multideck range of composite steel slabs. The testing was carried out on behalf of Kingspan by The Steel Construction Institute and resulted in a
comprehensive report: ‘Acoustic Performance of Kingspan Composite Floors’, copies of which can be obtained from our Technical Services Department.

tables for Multideck 60-V2 to verify the structural integrity
of the composite slab.
9 The values in all the tables are relevant to unpropped

the Kingspan Toolkit Software or contact Kingspan
Technical Services.
10 The tables take into account the reduced partial factor of
0.8 as permitted in BS 5950: Part 8 for non-permanent
specified imposed load (non-permanent and permanent).
It is assumed that the permanent imposed loads for
partitions, finishes, ceilings and services are equivalent to
Multideck 80
1.7kN/m2 in all cases. The tables are therefore appropriate
for office type applications.
For other applications where the imposed loads are almost
entirely permanent the total load should be adjusted
accordingly before reading from the tables, eg:
– 150mm normal weight concrete plantroom slab
and A142 mesh;
– 7.5kN/m2 live load;
– 1.2kN/m2 50mm screed finish 0.5kn/m2 ceilings
and services;
– 1 hour fire rating.

Note:
For load / span conditions beyond the scope of these tables, the Kingspan Multideck design software should be used to check for a solution.
Toolkit Design Software provides an accurate and detailed analysis and Kingspan encourages its use for all design checks.

Notes:
The tables are based on a minimum concrete density of 2350kgs/m3 and can be used with mesh or Dramix reinforcement.
Lightweight concrete may lead to a reduction in acoustic performance of about 2 to 3 dB on the values shown above.
Values of DnT,w and Lnw are available from Kingspan Structural Technical Department.
The values in the table are based on the new (since 2003) measurement index DnT,w+Ctr for airborne sound. The Ctr term is a spectrum adaptation value which is generally
negative and adjusts the index to take account of low frequency sounds that often cause problems in residential buildings. Thus the DnT,w +Ctr rating is lower than the DnT,w

7 The tables are based upon Grade 30 concrete, reinforcement
having a yield strength of 460N/mm2.
8 The tables must be read in conjunction with load / span
tables for Multideck 80-V2 to verify the structural integrity of
the composite slab.
9 The values in all the tables are relevant to unpropped
construction.
10 The tables take into account the reduced partial factor of
0.8 as permitted in BS 5950: Part 8 for non-permanent
specified imposed load (non-permanent and permanent).
It is assumed that the permanent imposed loads for
partitions, finishes, ceilings and services are equivalent to
1.7kN/m2 in all cases. The tables are therefore appropriate for
office type applications.
For other applications where the imposed loads are almost
entirely permanent the total load should be adjusted
accordingly before reading from the tables, eg:
– 150mm normal weight concrete plantroom slab and
A142 mesh.
– 7.5kN/m2 live load.
– 1.2kN/m2 50mm screed finish 0.5kN/m2 ceilings
and services.
– 1 hour fire rating.

Lightweight concrete may lead to a reduction in acoustic performance of about 2 to 3 dB on the values shown above.
Values of DnT,w and Lnw are available from Kingspan Structural Technical Department.
The values in the table are based on the new (since 2003) measurement index DnT,w+Ctr for airborne sound. The Ctr term is a spectrum adaptation value which is generally
negative and adjusts the index to take account of low frequency sounds that often cause problems in residential buildings. Thus the DnT,w +Ctr rating is lower than the DnT,w

Multideck 146 composite steel deck is optimised to minimise
the concrete volumes on longer spans providing significant
savings in comparison to traditional trapezoidal steel decks
used free spanning or propped.
Multideck 146 requires 31% less concrete than the next
best spanning 80mm trapezoidal deck of the equivalent
slab depth.
The saving in concrete translates into a saving in weight that
the structure must support, resulting in economies in the
supporting structure and foundations.
Kingspan Toolkit software includes comprehensive
composite floor design software which allows the user
to easily select the right Multideck solution. The design
software is available for download from the web site

– Greater Design Efficiency
Multideck 146 enhances the performance of the Multideck
family of composite steel decks providing efficient spanning
capacities to beyond 6.0m. There is a Multideck profile
to suit each and every requirement.
Multideck 146 deck is 600mm wide and with no need
for temporary props, even on spans of 6.0m, means this deck
is quick to install.
Reduced concrete volumes means quicker laying times
and fewer concrete deliveries to site.

Values shown shaded are not sufficient for separating floors in residential buildings.
For floor systems which comprise a composite slab (depth = 215 to 305mm) on Multideck 146 deck, a suspended ceiling and a floor treatment, the airborne and impact sound
insulation provided will easily satisfy the requirements for separating floors in residential buildings.
The junction details between the walls and floors must be appropriately detailed to ensure flanking sound is minimised.

Multideck 146 – Temporary Supports
Do I Need to Prop?
Multideck 146 is designed as single span with a capacity of 6.0m
plus and as such does not normally require temporary supports
during the construction stage.
There may be cases where longer spans are required and
the deck can be propped during the construction stage.
Load tables are shown for the Multideck 146 1.5mm gauge
propped construction.
The requirement for temporary support must be clearly shown
and identified on the drawings of the deck layout. Provision of
props to deck, that was not intended to be propped, should
be checked with the engineer as the composite stage capacity
can be reduced.
If temporary supports are required, they should be provided at
mid span of the Multideck 146 so that the span either side of
the prop is equal. The decking sheets must never be cut at the
location of temporary support and the deck should not be fixed
to the temporary support.
Temporary supports should continuously support the underside
of the deck and are normally lengths of timber or steel beams
supported by adjustable steel tubes (‘Acrows’). The width of
the temporary support on which the deck sits should not be
less than 100mm and should extend for the full width of the
bay of deck and be suitably braced. Discrete props and packs
should not be used.
It may be necessary to put the temporary supports in place
prior to laying of the deck.
The support of the prop at the base must always be considered
for strength and stability, taking account of the weight of wet
concrete and construction loads.
The design and provision of props is the responsibility of others.
A typical temporary support is shown in detail below.
Note:
We recommend that temporary supports
are braced in both directions for safety.
Use the tables below to determine if props are required for a given condition. If the span shown in the table is less than the actual
span temporary supports are required.
Determining the propping requirements is generally the responsibility of the structural designer when specifying a composite slab.
If it is subsequently ascertained that propping is required, to ensure that the completed slab can withstand the additional load from
the removal of the prop, the structural engineer must be consulted.

2. Access equipment should not be operated while the deck is propped.

2.1. In batching plant mixer.
– Never add fibres as first component in the mixer
– Fibres can be introduced together with sand and aggregates,
or can be added in freshly mixed concrete
– Only for drummixer: unopened degradable bags can be
thrown directly in the mixer
2.2. Truckmixer
– Add Dramix® as the final component into the back
of the mixer truck
– Run mixer at drum speed: 12-18rpm
– Adjust slump to a min. of 12cm (preferably with water
reducing agents or high water reducing agents)
– Add fibres with maximum speed of 40kg/min
– Optional equipment: belt-hoist elevator
