 ACCESSORIES FACTORED AND SERVICE LOAD TABLES P-3615
• Loads are uniformly distributed in kilopascals (pounds per square
EDGE SHEET foot).
• Loads at rows marked “F” are factored and are limited by the
bending capacity of the sheet except when the loads are
between brackets. In these cases, the limit is due to either web
crippling or combined shear and bending.
Ex.: Dead load = 0.8 kPa Live load = 2.4 kPa
Factored load = (0.8 x 1.25) + (2.4 x 1.50) = 4.6 kPa
• deflection
Loads at rows marked “D” are the service loads producing a
equal to the span divided by 240. The live loads
producing deflection equal to the span/180 or span/360 are
calculated by multiplying the loads in the “D” rows by 1.33 or
0.66, respectively.
• The span is the shorter of the following dimensions: dimension
c/c of the supports, or the clear dimension between the supports
plus the depth of the deck at each end.

 STEEL DECK P-2436
Canam’s P-2436 is a steel deck roll formed to cover 610 mm (24 in.).
This deck is available with steel galvanized according to ASTM standard A653
with zinc thicknesses corresponding to Z275 or ZF001. Upon agreement
with the Canam Steel Works sales department, it is also possible to obtain steel
deck coated with aluminum-zinc according
to designation AZ150 of ASTM standard A792.
Nominal thicknesses range from 0.76 mm (0.030 in. or
22 gauge) to 1.52 mm (0.060 in.
or 16 gauge). The flutes are 76.2 mm (3 in.) deep and
are spaced at 152 mm (6 in.) center to center. The deck can be rolled to lengths
from 2 000 mm
(6 ft. 6 in.) to 12 200 mm (40 ft. 0 in.).
FACTORED AND SERVICE LOAD TABLES P-2432 COMPOSITE
Example: Multiple spans of 3 000 mm, slab of 140 mm with 64 mm of concrete Once the concrete is cured, the composite slab will have to support these loads:
cover on top of the 76 mm deck profile. Deck and concrete 2.53 kPa
During construction, the steel deck must support itself, the concrete, and the Superimposed dead load 1.00 kPa
construction loads of 1.0 kPa (21 lb./ft.2) or a transversal load of 2 kN/m (137 plf). Superimposed live load 4.80 kPa
The maximum unshored span shown in the table is checked for bending under the
self weight and the construction loads, for web crippling with a 140 mm (5.5 in.)
Total factored load to find in load table:
Wf = 1.25 x (2.53 + 1.00) + 1.50 x 4.80 = 11.61 kPa
long bearing, and for the deflection under wet concrete to be less than span/180.
According to the table of maximum unshored span below, we need to use a deck wr = 12.25 kPa for span = 3 000 mm, with a 140 mm slab and a 0.91 mm thick deck.
with a nominal thickness of t = 0.91 mm with a triple span condition. Wr > Wf selection is adequate
If the deck bearing is shorter than 140 mm (5.5 in.), the project engineer shall
verify that the end reaction produced by the wet concrete and the construction Deflection = 5 x wsv x l 4 = 5 x 4.8 x 3 0004
loads, see following calculations, is less than the reduced web crippling (384 x Es x Icomp) (384 x 200 000 x 14 858 000)
resistance of the deck:
= 1.7 mm < 3 000 = 8.3 mm selection is adequate
Interior bearing 140 mm long with multiple spans:
360
Vf = maximum of (1.25 x 2.53 + 1.5 x 1.0) x 1.2 x 3 000 / 1 000 = 16.78 kN
or (1.25 x 2.53) x 1.2 x 3 000 / 1 000 + (1.5 x 2) x 0.575 = 13.11 kN The self weight of the slab is based on standard weight concrete
Pr for 140 mm bearing = 18.81 kN > Vf = 16.78 kN O.K. of 2 400 kg/m3 (150 pcf).
Tables are calculated for a minimum resistance in compression
Exterior bearing 140 mm long with multiple spans:
Vf = maximum of (1.25 x 2.53 + 1.5 x 1.0) x 0.45 x 3 000 / 1 000 = 6.29 kN of concrete f’c = 20 MPa (3 000 psi) at 28 days.
or (1.25 x 2.53) x 0.45 x 3 000 / 1 000 + (1.5 x 2) x 0.575 = 6.00 kN The design engineer is responsible for specifying the size and location of the wire
Pr for 140 mm bearing = 11.83 kN > Vf = 6.29 kN O.K. mesh in the concrete slab in order to respect current concreting practices.

 STEEL DECK P-2432 COMPOSITE
Canam’s composite P-2432 is a steel deck roll formed to cover 610 mm
(24 in.). The wide flutes provide enough space to weld headed
studs through the deck to the top of beams that will then
act compositely with the concrete slab.
FACTORED AND SERVICE LOAD TABLES P-2436

• Loads at rows marked “F” are factored and are limited by the
bending capacity of the sheet except when the loads are

Loads at rows marked “D” are the service loads producing a

 STEEL DECK P-2432 COMPOSITE
Canam’s composite P-2432 is a steel deck roll formed to cover 610 mm
(24 in.). The wide flutes provide enough space to weld headed
studs through the deck to the top of beams that will then
act compositely with the concrete slab.
FACTORED AND SERVICE LOAD TABLES P-2436
• Loads
foot).
are uniformly distributed in kilopascals (pounds per square
• Loads at rows marked “F” are factored and are limited by the
bending capacity of the sheet except when the loads are
between brackets. In these cases, the limit is due to either web
• deflection
Loads at rows marked “D” are the service loads producing a
equal to the span divided by 240. The live loads
producing deflection equal to the span/180 or span/360 are
calculated by multiplying the loads in the “D” rows by 1.33 or
0.66, respectively.

This deck is available with steel galvanized

crippling or combined shear and bending. • The span is the shorter of the following dimensions: dimension
c/c of the supports, or the clear dimension between the supports
Ex.: Dead load = 0.8 kPa Live load = 2.4 kPa
according to ASTM standard A653 with a zinc plus the depth of the deck at each end.
Factored load = (0.8 x 1.25) + (2.4 x 1.50) = 4.6 kPa

 STEEL DECK P-2436
Canam’s P-2436 is a steel deck roll formed to cover 610 mm (24 in.).
This deck is available with steel galvanized according to ASTM standard A653
with zinc thicknesses corresponding to Z275 or ZF001. Upon agreement
with the Canam Steel Works sales department, it is also possible to obtain steel
deck coated with aluminum-zinc according
to designation AZ150 of ASTM standard A792.
Nominal thicknesses range from 0.76 mm (0.030 in. or
22 gauge) to 1.52 mm (0.060 in.
or 16 gauge). The flutes are 76.2 mm (3 in.) deep and
are spaced at 152 mm (6 in.) center to center. The deck can be rolled to lengths
from 2 000 mm
(6 ft. 6 in.) to 12 200 mm (40 ft. 0 in.).
FACTORED AND SERVICE LOAD TABLES P-2432 COMPOSITE
Example: Multiple spans of 3 000 mm, slab of 140 mm with 64 mm of concrete Once the concrete is cured, the composite slab will have to support these loads:
cover on top of the 76 mm deck profile. Deck and concrete 2.53 kPa
During construction, the steel deck must support itself, the concrete, and the Superimposed dead load 1.00 kPa
construction loads of 1.0 kPa (21 lb./ft.2) or a transversal load of 2 kN/m (137 plf). Superimposed live load 4.80 kPa
The maximum unshored span shown in the table is checked for bending under the
self weight and the construction loads, for web crippling with a 140 mm (5.5 in.)
Total factored load to find in load table:
Wf = 1.25 x (2.53 + 1.00) + 1.50 x 4.80 = 11.61 kPa
long bearing, and for the deflection under wet concrete to be less than span/180.
According to the table of maximum unshored span below, we need to use a deck wr = 12.25 kPa for span = 3 000 mm, with a 140 mm slab and a 0.91 mm thick deck.
with a nominal thickness of t = 0.91 mm with a triple span condition. Wr > Wf selection is adequate
If the deck bearing is shorter than 140 mm (5.5 in.), the project engineer shall
verify that the end reaction produced by the wet concrete and the construction Deflection = 5 x wsv x l 4 = 5 x 4.8 x 3 0004
loads, see following calculations, is less than the reduced web crippling (384 x Es x Icomp) (384 x 200 000 x 14 858 000)
resistance of the deck:
= 1.7 mm < 3 000 = 8.3 mm selection is adequate
Interior bearing 140 mm long with multiple spans:
360
Vf = maximum of (1.25 x 2.53 + 1.5 x 1.0) x 1.2 x 3 000 / 1 000 = 16.78 kN
or (1.25 x 2.53) x 1.2 x 3 000 / 1 000 + (1.5 x 2) x 0.575 = 13.11 kN The self weight of the slab is based on standard weight concrete
Pr for 140 mm bearing = 18.81 kN > Vf = 16.78 kN O.K. of 2 400 kg/m3 (150 pcf).
Tables are calculated for a minimum resistance in compression
Exterior bearing 140 mm long with multiple spans:
Vf = maximum of (1.25 x 2.53 + 1.5 x 1.0) x 0.45 x 3 000 / 1 000 = 6.29 kN of concrete f’c = 20 MPa (3 000 psi) at 28 days.
or (1.25 x 2.53) x 0.45 x 3 000 / 1 000 + (1.5 x 2) x 0.575 = 6.00 kN The design engineer is responsible for specifying the size and location of the wire
Pr for 140 mm bearing = 11.83 kN > Vf = 6.29 kN O.K. mesh in the concrete slab in order to respect current concreting practices.

 ACCESSORIES FACTORED AND SERVICE LOAD TABLES P-3615
• Loads are uniformly distributed in kilopascals (pounds per square
EDGE SHEET foot).
• Loads at rows marked “F” are factored and are limited by the
bending capacity of the sheet except when the loads are
between brackets. In these cases, the limit is due to either web
crippling or combined shear and bending.
Ex.: Dead load = 0.8 kPa Live load = 2.4 kPa
Factored load = (0.8 x 1.25) + (2.4 x 1.50) = 4.6 kPa
• deflection
Loads at rows marked “D” are the service loads producing a
equal to the span divided by 240. The live loads
producing deflection equal to the span/180 or span/360 are
calculated by multiplying the loads in the “D” rows by 1.33 or
0.66, respectively.
• The span is the shorter of the following dimensions: dimension
c/c of the supports, or the clear dimension between the supports
plus the depth of the deck at each end.
