Sitework openings for shallow composite floor decks

Where openings are greater than 300mm, the engineer
must design them and provide extra reinforcement around
the opening. Openings can be accommodated up to 700mm
in composite slabs by boxing out before pouring concrete
and cutting out the deck after the concrete has cured.
Larger openings require support-trimming steel and there

must be installed prior to the decking.
Cut the decking away immediately and treat the opening
edges like any other perimeter with edge trim.
Timber Shutter
Do not cut the opening in the steel deck before concreting

or before the concrete has cured.
Temporary supports
The contractor or designated sub-contractor is responsible
for the safe design and installation of temporary props.
Where the design calls for temporary supports, these must
provide continuous support to the profiled sheeting.
Spreader beams (timbers) should be used and supported by
temporary props at one metre centres.
Dense polystyrene block
The props should be stable without relying on friction

with the deck for laterial stability. The end props in a
row should be self supporting, and braced to the
internal props.
Temporary Props
The timbers and props must be of adequate strength and

construction.
The temporary supports are placed at midspan or at other

suitable centres if more supports per span are required.
The spreaders beams or timbers should provide a minimum

bearing width of 100mm the spreaders must not deflect more
than 10mm and should be placed narrow edge up,
see diagram.
The propping structure is not to be removed until the
concrete has reached at least 70% of its characteristic

strength. The horizontal bearer timbers must be at least
100mm wide and should be propped at no more than 1m
centres. Sometimes the specification may call for 150mm
wide bearers, as determined by the structural engineers
or concreting contractor.
Percussive Drilling
We do not recommend percussive drilling into
composite concrete slabs although small-scale
rotaty hammer drills are fine.
Please see in Bearing illustrations Below
the minimum required for a continuous and shared
bearing scenario. Note the different requirements for
Masonary and Steel Sections.

These are examples of the most common deck type in design using additional
reinforcement and various slab thicknesses.
We can assist with any special requirements you have. These examples are ideal for our
small work clients perfoming infills or renovations in tight spaces as the deck is readily
available and easy to amend at short notice with Rapid Steel Decking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Metfloor the same as Holorib, Ribdeck

80, & Ribdeck E60?
Metfloor is a better than equivalent to the

Holorib, Ribdeck 80 & Ribdeck E60 product
range, we can say this confidently as the
Metfloor product range has been rigorously
tested independently and jointly designed by
CMF Ltd and the SCI to maximise the design
specification to out perform all other similar
products on the market with superior fire
rating results, acoustic and spanning abilities.
Which Metfloor is the direct equivalent to
Holorib?
alternatives for one another only the spanning

abilities vary due to stiffner design on the
profile, Metfloor is now the market leader in
performance so this is used as alternative to
all deck on the market.
Which Metfloor profile is a direct

equivalent to the Ribdeck 80?
The Metfloor 80 is the direct equivalent to the

Ribdeck 80 product range and is also 600mm
cover width and spans further than any other
equivalent on the market.
Which Metfloor is the equivalent to

Ribdeck E60?
The Metfloor 55 is the direct equivalent, the

sheet gives you a cover width of 600mm, the
same as Holorib, and the profile shape is a
similar re-entrant design to Holorib, the
stiffner design within the Metfloor profile is
what distinguishes the difference between the
two profiles giving it a slightly different
appearance.
The Metfloor 60 is the direct equivalent, to the

Ribdeck E60 product range, the only
difference here is that our Metfloor profile is a
easy to handle 600mm cover width as oppose
to the Ribdeck E60 being a 1000 cover width
profile, however as previously stated the
Metfloor is a better performing deck.
The number generally signifies the profile

depth and across the product range these
numbers represent the depth of the profile,
the shallow profiles are 50, 51, or 55mm
which are all re-entrant profiles, the 60 and 80
are trapezoidal profiles which are all
Metfloor has been on the market since 2005,

the profile is manufactured from state of the
art modern facilities and delivered out to
satellite stockyards from Wales to Chelmsford
Essex where we prepare material to site
specific lengths and deliver efficiently on our
own specially adapted vehicles.
What significants does the number

associated with the profile name have on
the profile type?
How do you supply the decking so

quickly?

Just a few reasons why to use

Composite Flooring from
Rapid Steel Decking
Sustainability benefits of composite floor construction
Composite flooring systems offer clients and designers a number of benefits which address
the social, environmental and economic dimensions of sustainable construction.
Speed of construction
Composite flooring systems facilitate fast track construction; up to 400m2 of decking

can be installed by one team in a day! Speed, simplicity of design and affinity for
steel-framed buildings make composite floors the system of choice where time, and hence
speed of construction, are key drivers. Steel decking can be ordered from us and delivered
to order, efficiently stacked on lorries that can carry many square metres of decking in a
single load.
Rapid construction minimises plant hire costs, in particular cranage. The use of the decking
as a safe working platform during construction, speeds up the work of others and follow-on
trades and offers logistical benefits on congested sites. The minimal steel reinforcement
required can be fixed quickly and large areas of floor poured using pumped concrete.
By shortening the construction programme, the impacts on neighbours and the public
within the vicinity of the construction site, such as noise, dust and traffic congestion are
minimised.
Resource efficiency Composite flooring systems are structurally efficient, thereby

minimising the resources used in constructing the building (particularly concrete) and
reducing the waste generated when it is necessary to deconstruct it. Less concrete means
fewer site deliveries and less localised traffic congestion.
Composite floor systems are stiffer, stronger and lighter than many other floor systems.
This means that the weight and size of the primary structure and the foundations can often
be reduced again minimising resource consumption and end-of-life waste generation.
