NOTES ABOUT SERVICE LOAD TABLES
The new Zamil steel deck catalog includes load tables
based on the 1996 edition of the American Iron and Steel
Institute (AISI) specifications for the design of cold-formed
steel structural members and the recommendations of the
Steel Deck Institute (SDI) Design Manual.

Although the calculations are based on Load and


Resistance Factor Design (LRFD), all the load tables in
this catalog show the service load capacity. These load
tables should be compared with service applied loads and
not with factored applied loads.

For standard steel deck specifications on materials,


design, and installation, please consult the Steel Deck
Institute Design Manual (publication No. 30) and Manual
of Construction with Steel Deck.

WARNING
Although every effort was made to ensure that all data in this catalog
is factual and that the numerical values are accurate to a degree
consistent with current structural design practice, Zamil Steel
Holding does not assume responsibility for errors or oversights
that may result from the use of the information contained herein.
Anyone making use of the contents of this catalog assumes all liability
arising from such use. All suggestions for improvements to this
publication will receive full consideration for future printings.

The latest version of the ASTM A653 standard contains 5 yield strength grades for structural quality steel.
The chemical composition and mechanical properties are also specified for each grade. The steel sheets normally
used to form Zamil steel deck correspond to ASTM A653 SS Grade 33. They have a yield strength of 33 ksi
(230 MPa) and a tensile strength of 45 ksi (310 MPa). Steel with a higher yield strength or a different ASTM
designation can be used to meet specific needs, but the tables in this document are all based on a yield strength
of 33 ksi (230 MPa).

AISI specifications for the design of cold-formed steel structural members indicate that the thickness supplied
shall not be less than 95% of the design thickness used. The generally accepted thickness of the zinc coating of
a G90 (Z275) finish is approximately 0.0015 in. (0.04 mm).
Zamil steel deck is available with G90 (Z275), G60 (Z180),
or A25 (ZF75) zinc protection as described by the ASTM A653 standard.
A gray polyester paint finish without underlying zinc protection is also
readily available. Upon request, Zamil can also provide white finish
paint with an underlying zinc protection of G90, or other types of
material, given sufficient notice.
The P-2432, P-3623, P-3606, and P-3615 deck profiles are
available with embossments to act in composite action with a
concrete slab. The tables for these composite sections show loads
and unshored spans for normal weight concrete and light weight
concrete on separate pages.

The P-2436, P-3606, and P-3615 deck profiles are available


with perforated web elements that reduce noise reverberation when
fiberglass insulation strips are installed according to the assembly
instructions for acoustical deck.

Upon special request to our sales department, we can provide


sheets in lengths of less than 6 ft (1.8 m).

STEEL DECK P-3615 COMPOSITE — P-3606 COMPOSITE

Canam’s composite P-3615 and P-3606 are steel decks roll formed to cover 36 in. (914 mm). The
flutes are 1.5 in. (38 mm) deep and are spaced at 6 in. (152 mm) center to center.
The deck can be rolled to length from 6 ft. 0 in. (1.8 m)
to 42 ft. 6 in. (13 m). The narrow flutes provide
enough space to weld headed studs through
the deck to the top of beams or joists that will
then act in composite with the
concrete slab but there
could be a reduction to
the headed stud capacity.
The deck is available with
steel galvanized according to ASTM
standard A653 with a zinc thickness
corresponding to G60 (Z180). Other types of steel
sheet finishes may affect the bond properties between
deck and concrete. Contact our sales department
for more information.
Standard thicknesses are 22 gauge (0.030’’ or 0.76 mm), 20 gauge (0.036’’
or 0.91 mm), and 18 gauge (0.048’’ or 1.21 mm). Standard steel grade conforms to ASTM
standard A653 SS Grade 33 with a yield strength of 33 ksi (230 MPa). Steel grades up to 50 ksi
(350 MPa) and material thickness of 19 gauge (0.042’’ or 1.07 mm) are available given sufficient delivery time.

STEEL DECK P-3623 COMPOSITE
Canam’s composite P-3623 is a steel deck roll formed to cover 36 in. (914 mm). The flutes are 2 in. (51 mm)
deep and are spaced at 12 in. (305 mm) center to center. The deck can be rolled to length from 6 ft. 6 in.
(2000 mm) to 40 ft. 0 in. (12 200 mm). The wide flutes provide enough space to weld
headed studs through the deck to the top of beams or joists that will
then act in composite with the concrete slab.
The deck is available with steel galvanized
according to ASTM standard A653 with a zinc
thickness corresponding to G60 (Z180).
Other types of steel sheet
finishes may affect the
bond properties
between deck and
concrete. Venting slots can be
added to the bottom of the flutes.
Contact our sales department
for more information.
Standard thicknesses are 22 gauge (0.030 in. or 0.76 mm),
20 gauge (0.036 in. or 0.91 mm), and 18 gauge
(0.048 in. or 1.21 mm). Standard steel grade conforms to ASTM standard
A653 SS Grade 33 with a yield strength of 33 ksi (230 MPa). Steel grades
up to 50 ksi (350 MPa) and material thickness of 19 gauge
(0.042 in. or 1.07 mm) are available given sufficient delivery time.

STEEL DECK P-2432 COMPOSITE
Canam’s composite P-2432 is a steel deck roll formed to cover 24 in. (610 mm). The flutes
are 3 in. (76 mm) deep and are spaced at 12 in. (305 mm) center to center. The deck
can be rolled to length from 6 ft. 6 in. (2000 mm) to 40 ft. 0 in.
(12 200 mm). The wide flutes provide enough space to weld
headed studs through the deck to the top of beams or joists
that will then act in composite with the concrete slab.
The deck is available with steel galvanized
according to ASTM standard A653 with
a zinc thickness corresponding to
G60 (Z180). Other types of steel
sheet finishes may affect the
bond properties between
deck and concrete. Venting
slots can be added to the bottom
of the flutes. Contact our sales
department for more information.
Standard thicknesses are 22 gauge (0.030 in. or 0.76 mm),
20 gauge (0.036 in. or 0.91 mm), and 18 gauge (0.048 in. or 1.21 mm).
Standard steel grade conforms to ASTM standard A653 SS Grade 33 with a yield
strength of 33 ksi (230 MPa). Steel grades up to 50 ksi (350 MPa) and material
thickness of 19 gauge (0.042 in. or 1.07 mm) are available given sufficient delivery time.

STEEL DECK P-3012 FORM
Canam’s P-3012 is a steel deck roll formed to cover 30 in. (762 mm).
The flutes are 9/16 in. (14 mm) deep and are spaced at 2 1/2 in. (64 mm)
center to center. The deck can be rolled to length as per your
request or stocked in 20 ft. 4 in. (6.2 m) lengths to cover
multiple spans of form deck.
The deck is available with
steel galvanized according
to ASTM standard A653
with a zinc thickness
corresponding to
G60 (Z180) or with
uncoated steel. Contact
our sales department for
more information.
Standard thicknesses are 28 gauge (0.015 in.
or 0.38 mm), 26 gauge (0.018 in. or 0.46 mm), and
24 gauge (0.024 in. or 0.61 mm).

Concrete: f’c = 3 ksi (20 MPa) Wire fabric steel: Fy = 60 ksi (400 Mpa)
Volumic weigth = 150 pcf (2400 kg / m3) The resistance of the reinforced slab is computed using LRFD caluclations
The maximum span of P-3012 form deck has been calculated for and considering that:
different slab thickness taking into account : • the welded wire fabric is held at mid-depth of the concrete above the deck
• the weight of the wet concrete for slabs that measure 2.5’’ (65 mm) to 3.0’’ (76 mm) and that the wire fabric
• a construction load of 20 psf (0.96 kPa) uniformly distributed or 150 plf is draped to be at 3/4’’ (19 mm) from the top of the slab over the supports
(2.2 kN/m) at the middle of the deck span, and to bear on the form deck at mid-span for slabs thicker than 3’’ (76 mm),
• at least a triple span of the form deck, • the reinforced slab must resist to a negative moment computed as
• a maximum deflection of the span over 240 under the wet concrete, w x span2 / 10 over the support and to a positive moment computed as
• and the height of the steel form deck is included in the slab thickness. w x span2 / 11 at mid-span,
• with w being the sum of the service loads multiplied by 1.7,
• the form deck does not supply any resistance.
The capacities shown in the service loads table are limited to 400 psf (20 kPa)
as higher loads are normally an indication that concentrated loads will be used
on the floor and that further engineering investigation should be done.

Example: We could select a P-3012 form deck 26 gauge (0.46 mm) thick with
multiple spans of 3’-0’’ (914 mm) on center to pour the 2 1/2’’ (65 mm)
2 1/2’’ (65 mm) deep slab 28 psf (1.40 kPa) slab with a welded wire fabric 6’’ x 6’’ W 2.9 x 2.9 (150 x 150 MW
Superimposed dead load 30 psf (1.44 kPa) 18.7 x 18.7) maintained at mid-depth of the concrete thickness above
Superimposed live load 100 psf (4.80 kPa) the deck. Once cured, the concrete slab could safely support 171 psf
TOTAL service load 158 psf (7.64 kPa) (8.2 kPa) which is greater than the total service load.

FLOOR DECK FEATURES
VENTED DECK

When cementitious insulation fills are used, the deck


sheet shall have an appropriate galvanized finish
and the deck profile must be
adequately vented.
On request, Canam Steel
can produce vent slits
like the one shown
here. The small slits
are made upwards in each
bottom flute at a frequency that
gives openings equal to 0.5% of
the deck covered surface.
Those vents allow the water contained in
the cementitious insulation fills to evaporate even after
the top of the fill is sealed by a roof membrane.

INTERNAL HANGER TAB

Light loads are sometimes suspended from the


steel deck. On request, Canam Steel can produce
hanger tabs like the one shown here.
The bottom flute is partially
punched out at regular
intervals lengthwise
and at 12’’ (305 mm)
on center widthwise.
A #12 wire (minimum size)
can then be attached to that tab to
support a maximum of 100 pounds (45 kg)
when using at least a 20 gauge (0.91 mm) thick
sheet for the deck.
A disadvantage of the hanger tab is that, when
concrete is poured on deck produced with tabs,
there will be some dripping through the tabs. The
drips will fall on the surface of the floor below.
