DECK
Composite Deck is designed to act as a stay in place form,
provide a working platform, and act as the positive bending
reinforcement for the concrete slab. The choice of the
composite deck depends on the slab depth and the span,
and sometimes on a fire rating. For most applications the
live load capacity is more than required and the deck is
selected to the job without shoring.

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 2.4
kPa. 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 (Z090, Z180 or Z275) 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
(20 to 25mm 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 20 MPa. The tables are based on a steel yield strength
of 230 MPa; however, 275 MPa 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 19.1
kPa has been applied. This is to guard against uniform loads being equated from
heavy concentrated loads which require more analysis. Uniform loads greater
than 19.1 kPa 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): M = [1.6 Wl + 1.2Wc] L2/8 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. Although other load combinations may
be investigated, 1.6 Wl + 1.2Wc usually controls.
Distribution of Concentrated Loads
bm
b2

tc

t t = thickness of a durable topping

(if none is used t t = 0)

distribution steel

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 > 2.71(t c /h ), meters.
The Weak Axis Moment (for distribution steel); M(weak axis) = Pbe ,
15w
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.

THIS EXAMPLE PROBLEM USES 20 GAGE (t = 0.91 mm) 50 mm LOK FLOOR

COMPOSITE DECK MADE FROM STEEL WITH A 230 MPa (MINIMUM) YIELD POINT.
THE DECK PROPERTIES (PER mm OF WIDTH) HAVE BEEN CALCULATED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE AMERICAN IRON AND STEEL INSTITUTE (AISI) SPECIFICATIONS AND ARE:
I = 574 mm4, SP = 19.7 mm3 , (SECTION MODULUS IN POSITIVE BENDING);
Sn = 20.8 mm3, (SECTION MODULUS IN NEGATIVE BENDING); As = 1143 mm2/m;
Rb = 14.74 kN/m; Vn = 35.17 kN/m; w = 0.086 kPa. Rb IS THE ASD
INTERIOR WEB CRIPPLING CAPACITY BASED ON A 125 mm BEARING AND Vn THE
FACTORED DECK SHEAR STRENGTH. SDI TOLERANCES APPLY. THE CONCRETE
PROPERTIES ARE: f 'c = 20.7 MPa; DENSITY = 2320 kg/m2 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 115 mm 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 2750 mm. No negative
bending reinforcing is used over the beams, so the composite slab will be
a simple span.
n = Es / Ec = 9; As = 1143 mm2/m; I = 5.74(105) mm4/m; As and I are per
meter 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.

Web crippling, shear, and the interaction of bending and web crippling are
checked with two spans loaded.
Check negative bending with two spans loaded:
-M = 0.117l2(1.6x2 + 1.4x0.96 + 1.2x0.086)(10-3) = 0.95(230)(20.8);
l = 2891 mm
Check positive bending with one span loaded with concrete and the
concentrated load:
+M = 0.20(1.4x2.2)l + 0.094l 2(1.6 x 2+1.2x0.086)(10-3) = 0.95(230)(19.7);
l = 2860 mm
Web crippling, shear, and the interaction of bending and web crippling are
checked with two spans loaded.
Check interior web crippling (note 1/3 stress increase allowed for ASD
temporary loading for web crippling):
Ri = 1.20(2 + 0.96 + 0.086) l = (14.74 x 1.33); l = 5.36 m = 5360 mm
V = 0.617(1.6 x 2 + 1.4 x 0.96 + 1.2 x 0.086)l = 35.17; l = 12300 mm
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 2 + 1.4 x 0.96 + 1.2 x 0.086)(10-3) = 544(10-4)l 2
Mn = 0.95 (230)(20.8) = 4545
Vapplied = (1.6 x 2 + 1.4 x 0.96 + 1.2 x .086)0.617l = 2.86l
(5.44(10-4)l2 / 4545)2 + (2.86(10-3)l / 35.17)2 = 1.0
Solving for l yields l = 2852 mm
Check deflection with y = l /180 and with y = 20 mm limits;
y = l/180) = 0.0069(2 + 0.086)(10-3)l4 / (210,000x574); l = 3597 mm
y = 20 = 0.0069(2 + 0.086)(10-3)l4 / (210,000x547); l = 3597 mm

Z = h - y - a = 115 - 25 - a

Moments (of areas) about the neutral axis (N.A.) are summed in order to
locate the N.A.
(1000 / n)a(a / 2) - AsZ = 0: 110a2 / 2 - 1143(90 - a) = 0
Solving for a shows a = 35 mm; 35 < 65 O.K. ; Z = 55 mm
Ic = 110(35)3 / 3 + 1143(55)2 + 5.74(105) = 5.6(106) mm4/m
The cracked section modulus = Ic / (h -yc) = 5.6(106) / (115 - 35) = Sc =
7.0(104) mm3/m. The table printout shows 6.8(104), which checks.
Determine the uncracked moment of inertia (Iuc). The concrete is again
transformed into equivalent steel.

Using the top of the slab as the reference line:

65(110) + 1143 + 55(50)
and the uncracked I is:
Iuc = 35(65)3 / 12 + 110(65)(55 - 65 / 2)2 + 5.74(105) + 1143(115 - 55 50 / 2)2 + 55(50)3 / 12 + 55(50)(115 - 50 / 2 - 55)2 = 1.03(107) mm4/m
Iav = (Ic + Iuc) / 2 = (5.6x106 + 1.03x107) / 2 = 7.95(106) mm4/m

Calculate the unfactored (allowable) live load for the case with no studs.
The clear span is 2750 mm.
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(230) (7(104)(10-6) = 13.69 kN.m/m. The printout shows 13.13
which checks within 5%.
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 / 8 = 13.69; wd = dead load = 2 + 0.086 = 2.086
; l = 2.75 m.
Solving for wl shows wl = 7.5 kPa.
Check the deflection if the applied load is 7.5 kPa.
With no negative reinforcing, the composite slab is a single span.
= 0.013 wll4 / EIav = 0.013(7.5)(2.75)4 / (210x7.95) = 3.34x10-3 m
3mm which is l / 900 and should be O.K.
Check the factored vertical shear capacity:
Vsteel deck= 35.17 kN/m
Vconcrete = 0.85(f 'c / 6) Ac = 0.85(207 / 6)(69) = 44.47 kN/m use
Vnt = 35.17 + 44.47 = 79.6 kN/m.
Check the concrete shear control limit: 0.85(f 'c / 3)Ac = 0.85( 20.7 / 3)69 =
88.95 kN/m.
79.6 < 88.95 ( The tabulated value is 79.51 - checks)
The unfactored (allowable) live load if shear controls ( wv ) is found by:
79.6 = (1.6wv + 1.2 x 2.1)(2.75) / 2; wv = 34.6 kPa. So obviously shear
does not control the live load.
The number of studs required to develop 100% of the factored moment is
given by:
Ns = Fy(As - Awebs 2 - Abot.flange) [0.5 Asc(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 50 mm Lok-Floor
Ns = 230 x 0.642 x 9.09(10-4) / 0.098 = 1.37 studs per meter (The printout
shows 1.41 because of soft conversion)
The inverse 1.0 / 1.37 = 0.73 which means a stud is required every 0.73
meters 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 1 m.
a = 1.143(10-3)(230) / (0.85 x 20.7 x 1) = 1.49(10-2) m = 15 mm; d is
measured from the top of the slab to the centroid of the deck and is 90 mm.
Mn = 0.85(230000)(1.143(10-3)(0.09 - 0.015 / 2) = 18.44 kN.m/m. The
printout shows 18.01 kN.m/m, which checks.
Since Ns = 1.37 and 1 Ns = 0.73 m, studs spaced at 1' and 2' will develop
the full factored moment of 18.44 kN.m/m, and with no studs the composite
slab develops 13.69 kN.m/m. If studs are spaced at 3' (1/3 =0.33 studs per
foot) then the composite slab capacity is found by interpolation:
Mn = 13.69 + (18.44 - 13.69)(0.33) / 0.43 = 17.34 kN.m/m.
Note: Interpolation was done for stud spacings in feet because of the actual
geometry of the deck.

Concentrated Load
Check the ability of the example composite slab to carry a 8.9 kN pound
concentrated load over an area of 115 mm x 115 mm; 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.
Since there is no negative steel, the composite slab is considered to be
simple span.
clear span = l = 2750 mm; b2 = b3 = 115 mm; 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 =
115 mm, tc = 65 mm and tt = 0.
bm = 115 + 2(65) + 0 = 245 mm
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 = 245 + 2(1 - 1375 / 2750)1375 = 1620 mm; but be is not to exceed
2.71(tc / h) in meters.
2.71(65 / 115) = 1.53 m; be = 1530 mm.
P

For checking vertical shear, put the load one slab depth away from the
beam, x = h:
bve = bm + (1 - h / l)x = 245 + (1- 115 / 2750)(115) = 355 mm. 355 <
1530, so for Moment use be = 1530 mm and for shear bve = 355 mm.
Live load moment (per meter of width) = Pl / 4 = 1.6(8.9)(2.75) / (4x1.53) =
6.47 kN.m. Where 1.6 is the load factor and (1.53) is the distribution
factor.
wd = total dead load = 2.0 + 0.086 = 2.086.
Dead load moment = wdl2 / 8 = 1.2(2.086)(2.75)2 / 8 = 2.37 kN.m.
6.4 + 2.36 = 8.77 kN.m.

Put the load in the center of the span, and, for simplicity, use concentrated
load coefficients.
y = Pl3 / (48EI); P (per meter) = 8.9 / 1.53 = 5.82 kN
y = 5.82(2.75)3 / (48 x 210 x 7.95) = (1.51(10-3)m = 1.5 mm
1.5 mm is approximately l /1800, this should be O.K.

N Lok is a special version of composite deck. It was originally conceived

as a second use for the N tooling used to make 75 mm 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.

All model building codes require, for some building classifications, the slab
to be capable of carrying a 4.4 or 8.9 kN load over a 760 mm x 760 mm
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 2.4 kPa, lobbies 4.8kPa, and corridors 3.8 kPa.
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 Example Problem

20 gage N Lok is to be used on a 3m clear span (3 span condition) with a

140mm slab of normal weight concrete. Assume no negative bending
reinforcing steel is used. Determine the live load.
From the tables: Maximum Unshored Span = 3414mm
3414 > 3000 O.K.
Mno = 14.89 kNm
Iav = 10983mm4
Vnt = 57.34kN (note this is less than the deck
capacity alone, the ultimate shear strength of the
concrete controls).
Vn = 73.2 kN (deck alone)
Check bending:
w d = 197 + 11 = 208kg (per meter of width)
= 208 x 9.81 = 2040 Pa (force)
14.89= (1.6wl + 1.2 x 2040/1000) 32/8
wl = 6.74 kPa
Check shear:
V
= 57.34 = (1.6wl + 1.2 x 2040/1000) 3/2
wl = 22.4 kPa
Check deflection:
= l/360 = 3000/360 = 8.3mm
8.3 = 0.013 wl(3000)4/210000 x 10983)
wl = .0182MPa = 18.2kPa
Bending controls. The allowable live load is 6.74 kPa.
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 mm 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, mm2/mm of width.
W is the concrete mass in kg/m2. Sc is the section modulus of the cracked
concrete composite slab; mm3/mm of width. Iav is the average of the cracked
and uncracked moments of inertia of the transformed composite slab; mm4 /
mm of width. The Iav transformed section analysis is based on steel; therefore,
to calculate deflections the appropriate modulus of elasticity to use is
210000MPa. 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) kNm per meter 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) 1/2 Ac; kPa (per meter of
width). The next three columns list the maximum unshored spans in meters;
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 mm 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; kNm/m. Ac is
the area of concrete available to resist shear, mm2/m. Vol. is
the volume of concrete in mm3/m2 needed to make up the
slab; no allowance for frame or deck deflection is included. W
is the concrete mass in kg/m2. Sc is the section modulus of
the cracked concrete composite slab; mm3/mm. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; mm4/m 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 210000 MPa. 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) kNm/m. 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)1/2 Ac; kN/m. The next three
columns list the maximum unshored spans in mm; 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; mm2/m.

DECK PROPERTIES

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

value is for positive bending (mm4); t is the gage thickness in
mm; w is the mass in kg/m2; Sp and Sn are the section moduli
for positive and negative bending (mm3); Rb and Vn. are the
interior reaction and the shear in kN/m; studs is the number of
studs required per meter in order to obtain the full resisting
moment, Mnf. The published value for Rb is to be used in
allowable stress design and already includes the 1/3 stress
increase for temporary loading.

1 STUD/METER
NO STUDS

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on

the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L + 1.2D)l 2 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 19.2 kPa 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 mm 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; kNm/m. Ac is
the area of concrete available to resist shear, mm2/m. Vol. is
the volume of concrete in mm3/m2 needed to make up the
slab; no allowance for frame or deck deflection is included. W
is the concrete mass in kg/m2. Sc is the section modulus of
the cracked concrete composite slab; mm3/mm. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; mm4/m 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 210000 MPa. 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) kNm/m. 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)1/2 Ac; kN/m. The next three
columns list the maximum unshored spans in mm; 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; mm2/m.

DECK PROPERTIES

18 gage

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

value is for positive bending (mm4); t is the gage thickness in
mm; w is the mass in kg/m2; Sp and Sn are the section moduli
for positive and negative bending (mm3); Rb and Vn. are the
interior reaction and the shear in kN/m; studs is the number of
studs required per meter in order to obtain the full resisting
moment, Mnf. The published value for Rb is to be used in
allowable stress design and already includes the 1/3 stress
increase for temporary loading.

1 STUD/METER
NO STUDS

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on

the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L + 1.2D)l 2 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 19.2 kPa 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 mm 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; kNm/m. Ac is
the area of concrete available to resist shear, mm2/m. Vol. is
the volume of concrete in mm3/m2 needed to make up the
slab; no allowance for frame or deck deflection is included. W
is the concrete mass in kg/m2. Sc is the section modulus of
the cracked concrete composite slab; mm3/mm. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; mm4/m 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 210000 MPa. 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) kNm/m. 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)1/2 Ac; kN/m. The next three
columns list the maximum unshored spans in mm; 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; mm2/m.

DECK PROPERTIES

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

value is for positive bending (mm4); t is the gage thickness in
mm; w is the mass in kg/m2; Sp and Sn are the section moduli
for positive and negative bending (mm3); Rb and Vn. are the
interior reaction and the shear in kN/m; studs is the number of
studs required per meter in order to obtain the full resisting
moment, Mnf. The published value for Rb is to be used in
allowable stress design and already includes the 1/3 stress
increase for temporary loading.

1 STUD/METER
NO STUDS

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on

the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L + 1.2D)l 2 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 19.2 kPa 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 mm 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; kNm/m. Ac is
the area of concrete available to resist shear, mm2/m. Vol. is
the volume of concrete in mm3/m2 needed to make up the
slab; no allowance for frame or deck deflection is included. W
is the concrete mass in kg/m2. Sc is the section modulus of
the cracked concrete composite slab; mm3/mm. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; mm4/m 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 210000 MPa. 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) kNm/m. 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)1/2 Ac; kN/m. The next three
columns list the maximum unshored spans in mm; 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; mm2/m.

DECK PROPERTIES

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

value is for positive bending (mm4); t is the gage thickness in
mm; w is the mass in kg/m2; Sp and Sn are the section moduli
for positive and negative bending (mm3); Rb and Vn. are the
interior reaction and the shear in kN/m; studs is the number of
studs required per meter in order to obtain the full resisting
moment, Mnf. The published value for Rb is to be used in
allowable stress design and already includes the 1/3 stress
increase for temporary loading.

1 STUD/METER
NO STUDS

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on

the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L + 1.2D)l 2 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 19.2 kPa 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 mm 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; kNm/m. Ac is
the area of concrete available to resist shear, mm2/m. Vol. is
the volume of concrete in mm3/m2 needed to make up the
slab; no allowance for frame or deck deflection is included. W
is the concrete mass in kg/m2. Sc is the section modulus of
the cracked concrete composite slab; mm3/mm. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; mm4/m 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 210000 MPa. 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) kNm/m. 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)1/2 Ac; kN/m. The next three
columns list the maximum unshored spans in mm; 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; mm2/m.

DECK PROPERTIES

18 gage

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

value is for positive bending (mm4); t is the gage thickness in
mm; w is the mass in kg/m2; Sp and Sn are the section moduli
for positive and negative bending (mm3); Rb and Vn. are the
interior reaction and the shear in kN/m; studs is the number of
studs required per meter in order to obtain the full resisting
moment, Mnf. The published value for Rb is to be used in
allowable stress design and already includes the 1/3 stress
increase for temporary loading.

1 STUD/METER
NO STUDS

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on

the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L + 1.2D)l 2 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 19.2 kPa 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 mm 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; kNm/m. Ac is
the area of concrete available to resist shear, mm2/m. Vol. is
the volume of concrete in mm3/m2 needed to make up the
slab; no allowance for frame or deck deflection is included. W
is the concrete mass in kg/m2. Sc is the section modulus of
the cracked concrete composite slab; mm3/mm. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; mm4/m 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 210000 MPa. 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) kNm/m. 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)1/2 Ac; kN/m. The next three
columns list the maximum unshored spans in mm; 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; mm2/m.

DECK PROPERTIES

18 gage

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

value is for positive bending (mm4); t is the gage thickness in
mm; w is the mass in kg/m2; Sp and Sn are the section moduli
for positive and negative bending (mm3); Rb and Vn. are the
interior reaction and the shear in kN/m; studs is the number of
studs required per meter in order to obtain the full resisting
moment, Mnf. The published value for Rb is to be used in
allowable stress design and already includes the 1/3 stress
increase for temporary loading.

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on

the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L + 1.2D)l 2 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 19.2 kPa 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 mm 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; kNm/m. Ac is
the area of concrete available to resist shear, mm2/m. Vol. is
the volume of concrete in mm3/m2 needed to make up the
slab; no allowance for frame or deck deflection is included. W
is the concrete mass in kg/m2. Sc is the section modulus of
the cracked concrete composite slab; mm3/mm. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; mm4/m 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 210000 MPa. 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) kNm/m. 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)1/2 Ac; kN/m. The next three
columns list the maximum unshored spans in mm; 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; mm2/m.

DECK PROPERTIES

18 gage

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

value is for positive bending (mm4); t is the gage thickness in
mm; w is the mass in kg/m2; Sp and Sn are the section moduli
for positive and negative bending (mm3); Rb and Vn. are the
interior reaction and the shear in kN/m; studs is the number of
studs required per meter in order to obtain the full resisting
moment, Mnf. The published value for Rb is to be used in
allowable stress design and already includes the 1/3 stress
increase for temporary loading.

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on

the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L + 1.2D)l 2 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 19.2 kPa 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 mm 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; kNm/m. Ac is
the area of concrete available to resist shear, mm2/m. Vol. is
the volume of concrete in mm3/m2 needed to make up the
slab; no allowance for frame or deck deflection is included. W
is the concrete mass in kg/m2. Sc is the section modulus of
the cracked concrete composite slab; mm3/mm. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; mm4/m 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 210000 MPa. 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) kNm/m. 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)1/2 Ac; kN/m. The next three
columns list the maximum unshored spans in mm; 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; mm2/m.

DECK PROPERTIES

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

value is for positive bending (mm4); t is the gage thickness in
mm; w is the mass in kg/m2; Sp and Sn are the section moduli
for positive and negative bending (mm3); Rb and Vn. are the
interior reaction and the shear in kN/m; studs is the number of
studs required per meter in order to obtain the full resisting
moment, Mnf. The published value for Rb is to be used in
allowable stress design and already includes the 1/3 stress
increase for temporary loading.

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on

the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L + 1.2D)l 2 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 19.2 kPa 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 mm 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; kNm/m. Ac is
the area of concrete available to resist shear, mm2/m. Vol. is
the volume of concrete in mm3/m2 needed to make up the
slab; no allowance for frame or deck deflection is included. W
is the concrete mass in kg/m2. Sc is the section modulus of
the cracked concrete composite slab; mm3/mm. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; mm4/m 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 210000 MPa. 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) kNm/m. 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)1/2 Ac; kN/m. The next three
columns list the maximum unshored spans in mm; 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; mm2/m.

DECK PROPERTIES

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

value is for positive bending (mm4); t is the gage thickness in
mm; w is the mass in kg/m2; Sp and Sn are the section moduli
for positive and negative bending (mm3); Rb and Vn. are the
interior reaction and the shear in kN/m; studs is the number of
studs required per meter in order to obtain the full resisting
moment, Mnf. The published value for Rb is to be used in
allowable stress design and already includes the 1/3 stress
increase for temporary loading.

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on

the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L + 1.2D)l 2 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 19.2 kPa 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 mm 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; kNm/m. Ac is
the area of concrete available to resist shear, mm2/m. Vol. is
the volume of concrete in mm3/m2 needed to make up the
slab; no allowance for frame or deck deflection is included. W
is the concrete mass in kg/m2. Sc is the section modulus of
the cracked concrete composite slab; mm3/mm. Iav is the
average of the cracked and uncracked moments of inertia
of the transformed composite slab; mm4/m 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 210000 MPa. 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) kNm/m. 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)1/2 Ac; kN/m. The next three
columns list the maximum unshored spans in mm; 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; mm2/m.

DECK PROPERTIES

18 gage

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

value is for positive bending (mm4); t is the gage thickness in
mm; w is the mass in kg/m2; Sp and Sn are the section moduli
for positive and negative bending (mm3); Rb and Vn. are the
interior reaction and the shear in kN/m; studs is the number of
studs required per meter in order to obtain the full resisting
moment, Mnf. The published value for Rb is to be used in
allowable stress design and already includes the 1/3 stress
increase for temporary loading.

NO STUDS

* The Uniform Live Loads are based on

the LRFD equation Mn = (l.6L + 1.2D)l 2 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 19.2 kPa 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 (1.20 mm)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 915 mm 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 65 mm 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 610 mm 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.
