TABLE OF CONTENTS
VULCRAFT, a leader in the steel joist and
joist girder industry offers a complete range of
steel decking at the five strategically located
deck manufacturing facilities. The deck is
accurately roll formed in varying configurations
on the most modern high-speed roll forming
equipment available.
Steel roof and floor decks have long been
recognized for their economy because of their
light weight and high strength-to-weight ratio.
They provide a durable and attractive roof or
floor system for fast all-weather construction.
Steel decks also provide excellent lateral
diaphragm action thus reducing the necessity
for structural bracing and their incombustible
nature assures architects, engineers and
owners of excellent fire ratings.
FINISHES:
Vulcraft offers a selection of three finishes:
prime painted, galvanized and black
(uncoated).
Prime painted - prior to applying a baked-on
acrylic medium gray primer, the cold rolled
sheet is chemically cleaned and pre-treated.
An off-white primer is available at an additional
cost.
Galvanized - Vulcraft galvanized decks are
supplied from mill coated sheets conforming to
ASTM-A653-94, Structural Quality, and Federal
Spec. QQ-S-775, and they are offered in two
zinc coated finishes.
(1) G-90 - .9 ounce/sq.ft.
(2) G-60 - .6 ounce/sq.ft.

Type B (wide rib) deck provides excellent structural

load carrying capacity per pound of steel utilized,
and its nestable design eliminates the need for dieset ends.
1" or more rigid insulation is required for Type B
deck.
Acoustical deck (Type BA, BIA) is particularly
suitable in structures such as auditoriums, schools,
and theatres where sound control is desirable.
Acoustic perforations are located in the vertical
webs where the load carrying properties are
negligibly affected (less than 5%).
Inert, non-organic glass fiber sound absorbing batts
are placed in the rib openings to absorb up to 65%
of the sound striking the deck.
Batts are field installed and may require separation.

Type F (intermediate rib) deck is designed to

provide the most economical combination of
structural load carrying capacity and insulation
materials. The rib openings permit fast and
easy installation, and the nestable design
eliminates the need for die-set ends. 1" rigid
insulation is recommended for Type F deck.

Type A (narrow rib) deck provides an economical

roof system when utilized with thinner insulation
materials. It also allows the maximum area for
adhesive contact, and its nestable quality
eliminates the need for die-set ends.
1/2 rigid insulation may be used with Type A
deck.

used for the support of roofing
materials, design live loads and SDI
construction loads shown
on page 10.
Commentary: Suspended ceilings, light
fixtures, ducts, or other utilities shall not
be supported by the steel deck.

2. Materials
2.1 Steel Roof Deck: The steel roof
deck units shall be fabricated from
steel conforming to Section A3 of
the latest edition, (1986) of the
American Iron and Steel Institute,
Specifications for the Design of
Cold-Formed Steel Structural
Members. The steel used shall have
a minimum yield strength of 33 ksi
(230 MPa).

2.2 Tolerances:
Panel length: Plus or minus
l/2 inch (13 mm).
Thickness: Shall not be less than
95% of the design thickness.
Panel cover width: Minus 3/8 inch
(10 mm), plus 3/4 inch (20 mm).
Panel camber and/or sweep:
l/4 inch in 10 foot length
(6 mm in 3 meters).
Panel end out of square:
1/8 inch per foot (3 mm in 300 mm)
of panel width.

Commentary: The above

tolerances reflect the fabrication
processes for steel deck products.
Variation in cover width tolerances
may vary due to trucking, storage,
handling.
The steel roof deck shall be manufactured from steel conforming to
ASTM Designation A611, Grades C,
D or E or from A653-94 Structural
Quality grade 33 or higher. If the
published product literature does
not show the uncoated steel
thickness in decimal inches (or
millimeters) but lists gage or type
numbers, then the thickness of
steel before coating with paint or
metal shall be in conformance with
the following table:

3. Design
3.1 Stress: The maximum working
stress shall not exceed 20 ksi (140
MPa). The unit design stress shall
in no case exceed the minimum
yield strength of the steel divided
by 1.65 for specific design uniform
loads. The unit design stress shall
be increased 33% for temporary
concentrated loads provided the
deck thus required is no less than
that required for the specific design
uniform loads.
3.2 Section Properties: Structural
properties of roof deck sections
shall be computed in accordance
with the American Iron and Steel
Institute (AISI) Specification for
the Design of Cold-Formed Steel
Structural Members, 1986 edition
and Addenda.

Commentary: Arbitrarily assumed

effective compression flange widths
shall not be allowed. Testing shall
not be used in lieu of the above in
determination of vertical load carrying capacity of steel deck.
3.3 Moment and Deflection
Coefficients: A moment coefficient
of 1/8 shall be used for simple and
dual equal spans and a moment
coefficient of l/10 shall be used for
3 or more equal spans. Deflection
coefficients shall be .013 for simple
spans, 0.0054 for double spans
and 0.0069 for triple spans.

3.4 Maximum Deflections:

Deflection of the deck shall not
exceed L/240 under the uniformly
distributed design live load. All
spans are to be considered center-tocenter of supports.

Commentary: The adequacy of

deck edge support details should be
reviewed. At the building perimeter,
or any other deck termination or
direction change, occasional
concentrated loading of the roof
deck could result in temporary
differences in deflection between
the roof deck and the adjacent
stationary building component.
Supplemental support such as a
perimeter angle may be warranted.

Cantilever loads:
Construction phase load of 10 psf
(0.48 kPa) on adjacent span and cantilever, plus 200 pound load (0.89 kN)
at end of cantilever with a stress limit
of 26 ksi (180 MPa).
Service load of 45 psf (2.15 kPa)
on adjacent span and cantilever, plus
100 pound load (0.44 kN) at end of
cantilever with a stress limit of 20 ksi
(140 MPa).
Deflection limited to L/240 of adjacent
span for interior span and deflection
at end of cantilever to L/240 of
overhang.
Notes:
1. Adjacent span: Limited to those
spans shown in Section 3.4 of Roof
Deck Specifications. In those
instances where the adjacent span is
less than 3 times the cantilever span,
the individual manufacturer should
be consulted for the appropriate
cantilever span.
2. Sidelaps must be attached at end
of cantilever and at a maximum of 12
inches (300 mm) on center from end.
3. No permanent suspended loads are
to be supported by the steel deck.
4. The deck must be completely
attached to the supports and at the
sidelaps before any load is applied to
the cantilever.

4. Installation & Site Storage

4.1 Site Storage: Steel deck shall
be stored off the ground with one
end elevated to provide drainage,
and shall be protected from the
elements with a waterproof
covering, ventilated to avoid
condensation.

SDI
Specifications
and Commentary
FOR STEEL ROOF DECK
4.2 Deck Placement: Place each
deck unit on supporting structural
frame. Adjust to final position with
accurately aligned side laps and ends
bearing on supporting members.
On joist framing, be sure the appropriate end lap occurs over a top
chord angle for proper anchorage.
Commentary: Staggering roof deck
end laps is not a recommended
practice. The deck capacity is not
increased by staggering the end
laps, yet layout and erection costs
are increased.

4.3 Lapped or Butted Ends: Deck

Ends may be either butted or
lapped over supports. Standard
tolerance for ordered length is plus
or minus 1/2 inch (13 mm).

4.4 Anchorage: Roof deck units

shall be anchored to supporting
members including perimeter
support steel and/or bearing walls
by either welding or mechanical
fasteners, to provide lateral stability
to the top flange of the supporting
structural members and to resist
the following minimum gross
uplifts; 45 pounds per square foot
(2.15 kPa) for eave overhang; 30
pounds per square foot (1.44 kPa)
for all other roof areas. The dead
load of the roof deck construction
shall be deducted from the above
forces. The location and number of
fasteners required for satisfactory
attachment of deck to supporting
structural members are as follows:
All side laps plus a sufficient
number of interior ribs to limit the
spacing between adjacent points of
attachment to 18 inches (500 mm).
Deck units with spans greater than
5 feet (1.5 m) shall have side laps
and perimeter edges (at perimeter

support steel) fastened at midspan

or 36 inches (1 m) intervals,
whichever distance is smaller.

Commentary: The deck should be

anchored to act as a working platform and to prevent blow off. The
designer should check the appropriate codes for the required uplift
loading and show the required
anchorage connections on the
plans. If no information is shown
on the plans, the uplift loads shown
in paragraph 4.4 will be assumed.
Sidelap fasteners can be welds,
screws, crimps (button punching),
or other methods approved by the
designer. Welding sidelaps on
thicknesses 0.028 inches (.7 mm)
or less may cause large burn holes
and is not recommended. The
objective of side lap fastening is to
prevent differential sheet deflection.
The five foot (1.5 m) limit on side
lap spacing is based on experience.
The deck erector should not leave
unattached deck at the end of the
day as the wind may displace the
sheets and cause injury to persons
or property. In the past, 1-1/2 inches
(38 mm) of end bearing was the
minimum; this is still a good "rule
of thumb" that will, in general prevent slip off. If less than 1-1/2 inches
(38 mm) of end bearing is available,
or if high support reactions are
expected, the design engineer
should ask the deck manufacturer
to check the deck web stress.
In any case, the deck must be adequately attached to the structure to
prevent slip off.
The SDI Diaphragm Design Manual,
Second Edition, should be used to
determine fastening requirements if
the deck is to be designed to resist
horizontal loads. The most stringent
requirements, of either section 4.4
or, if applicable, the SDI Diaphragm
Design Manual, should be used.

4.4a Welding: All field welding of

deck shall be in strict accordance
with ANSI/AWS D1.3 Structural
Welding Code-Sheet Steel. Each
welder must demonstrate an ability
to produce satisfactory welds using
a procedure such as shown in the
Steel Deck Institute Manual of
Construction with Steel Deck or
as described in ANSI/AWS D1.3.
A minimum visible 5/8 inch (15 mm)
diameter puddle weld or an elongated weld with an equal perimeter
is required. Fillet welds, when used,
shall be at least 1 inch (25 mm)
long. Weld metal shall penetrate all
layers of deck material at end laps
and shall have good fusion to the
supporting members. Welding
washers shall be used on all deck
units with a metal thickness less
than 0.028 inches (0.7 mm). Welding washers shall be a minimum
thickness of 0.056 inches (1.5
mm), 16 gage, and have a nominal
3/8 inch (10 mm) diameter hole.
Care shall be exercised in the selection of electrodes and amperage to
provide a positive weld and prevent
high amperage blow holes.
Commentary: The obligation is
placed on the contractor to prepare
welding procedure specifications
and to qualify them before production use. These procedure specifications must include classification
of the filler metal, its size, and for
each type of weld, its melting rate
or any other suitable means of
current control indicative of melting
rate, as applicable.
The welder qualification test
requires each welder to prove their
ability to produce satisfactory
welds using these qualified procedures. The fact that the welder may
have been successfully qualified on
plate or pipe under the provisions
of ANSI/AWS D1.1 Structural

12

/SDI
Specifications
and Commentary
Welding Code-Steel, for structural
welding, or on plate or pipe under
the provisions of other codes
governing the welding of specific
products, does not qualify the
welder for welding sheet steel.
The selections of welding rod and
amperage are left to the individual
welder. Welds are made from the
top side of the deck, with the
welder immediately following the
placement crew. In general,
stronger welds are obtained on
0.028 inches (.70 mm) or thicker
deck without weld washers. Welds
on deck less than 0.028 inches
(.70 mm) are stronger with washers.

4.4b Mechanical Fasteners:

The roof deck shall be free of

grease and dirt prior to the coating.
The primer coat is intended to
protect the steel for only a short
period of exposure in ordinary
atmospheric conditions and shall
be considered an impermanent and
provisional coating.

Commentary: Field painting of

prime painted deck is recommended
especially where the deck is
exposed. In corrosive or high
moisture atmospheres, a galvanized finish is desirable in a G-60
(Z180) or G-90 (Z275) coating. In
highly corrosive or chemical atmosspheres or where reactive materials
could be in contact with the steel
deck, special care in specifying the
finish should be used. In this case,
individual manufacturers should be
contacted. See important information Section 4.1 Insulation, page 66.

Mechanical fasteners (powderactuated, screws, pneumatically

driven fasteners, etc.) are recognized as viable anchoring methods,
provided the type and spacing of
the fasteners satisfy the design
criteria. Documentation in the form
of test data, design calculations, or
design charts should be submitted
by the fastener manufacturer as
the basis for obtaining approval.
The deck manufacturer may
recommend additional fasteners to
stabilize the given profile against
sideslip of any unfastened ribs.

manufacturer shall not be responsible for the cleaning of the underside

of metal deck to ensure bond of
fireproofing. Adherence of fire-proofing
materials is dependent on
many variables; the deck manufacturer (supplier) is not responsible
for the adhesion or adhesive ability
of the fireproofing.

Commentary: The allowable load

6. Erection

value per fastener used to determine the maximum fastener

spacing is based on a minimum
structural support thickness of not
less than l/8 inch (3 mm) and on
the fastener providing a 5/16 inch
(8 mm) diameter minimum bearing
surface (fastener head size).

Deck sheets will be placed in

accordance with approved erection
layout drawing supplied by the deck
manufacturer and in conformance
with the deck manufacturer's
standards. End joints of sheets
shall occur over supports.

5. Protective Coatings
5.1 Finishes: All steel to be used
for roof deck shall be galvanized,
aluminized or prime painted.

13

5.2 Fireproofing: The metal deck

Commentary: Openings greater

than 25 square feet (2.3 m2) are
generally located and shown on the
detailed erection drawings, and
deck will be provided to the job in

lengths to accommodate the opening. Openings less than 25 square

feet (2.3m2) can be located and
shown on the erection drawings
and be decked over; the deck erector is to cut these openings as well
as provide any skew cutting shown.
It is extreme/y important that deck
cantilevers and decked over areas
are not overloaded. Openings in the
deck and building edges must be
protected by using OSHA approved
methods.
Openings not shown on the erection
drawings, such as those required
for stacks, conduits, plumbing,
vents, etc. are to be cut, and
reinforced if necessary, by the
trades requiring the openings.
Refer to the SDI Manual of
Construction With Steel Deck for
a reinforcing schedule.

7 . Insulation
Insulation board shall be of
sufficient strength and thickness to
permit unsupported spans and
edges over the deck's rib openings.
Cementitious insulating fills shall be
poured only over galvanized deck
and shall be adequately vented.
In all cases, the recommendations
of the insulation manufacturer shall
be followed.

8.

CAUTION
Steel roof deck may be used in
a variety of ways, some of which
do not lend themselves to a
standard "steel deck" analysis
for span and loading. There are,
in these cases, other criteria
which must be considered
besides that given by the Steel
Deck Institute. Make sure that
this investigation starts with a
review of the applicable Codes
and that any special conditions
are included in the design.

INDIVIDUAL DECK TABLES
"MAXIMUM CONSTRUCTION CLEAR SPANS"
These tables list the maximum construction clear
span based on the S.D.I. criteria as is outlined on the
previous four pages.
"REINFORCED CONRETE SLAB ALLOWABLE
LOADS"
This table shows the load carrying capacity the
concrete slab will develop when it is reinforced with
welded wire fabric (mesh). For the loads shown in light
print, the live loads were calculated with the mesh

halfway between the top of the slab and the top of the
deck. This is considered "undraped". The loads shown
in bold print were calculated using the mesh near the top
of the slab as negative reinforcement at the supports
and near the bottom of the slab as positive
reinforcement between supports. This is called "draped".
See illustration below.
"ALLOWABLE UNIFORM LOADS"
These tables list the uniform allowable load the deck
alone will carry. Designers will want to use one of the
four categories of load carrying capacities depending on
the application.

Slabs that are temporarily shored must have the slab weight deducted from the allowable live load regardless of the type of finish.
Finish -- Vulcraft painted floor decks can be considered as a permanent form for use in normal building environments. It's structural life would
be similar to that of painted roof deck. In high moisture atmospheres, a galvanized finish is recommended. Uncoated decks are not
considered as a permanent and the weight of the slab should be deducted from the slab allowable load.
Allowable Slab Loads -- These tables are based on a three span condition using a moment coefficient of 1/12 as allowed by A.C.I. 318-83
(Sec. 8.3.3) for spans 10 feet or less. A moment coefficient of 1/10 per A.C.I. 318-83 (Sec. 8.3.3) was used for spans over 10 foot. For a two
span condition this coefficient should be increased to 1/9 per A.C.I. 318-83 (Sec. 8.3.3) and for one span to 1/8. Other conditions may require
further analysis.

* As does not meet A.C.I. criterion for temperature and shrinkage.

Recommended conform types are based upon S.D.I. criteria and normal weight concrete.
Superimposed loads are based upon three span conditions and A.C.I. moment coefficients.
Load values for single span and double spans are to be reduced.
Superimposed load values in bold type require that mesh be draped. See page 19.
Vulcrafts painted or galvanized form deck can be considered as permanent support in most building applications. See page 19.
If uncoated form deck is used, deduct the weight of the slab from the allowable superimposed uniform loads.

* As does not meet A.C.I. criterion for temperature and shrinkage.

Recommended conform types are based upon S.D.I. criteria and normal weight concrete.
Superimposed loads are based upon three span conditions and A.C.I. moment coefficients.
Load values for single span and double spans are to be reduced.
Superimposed load values in bold type require that mesh be draped. See page 19.
Vulcrafts painted or galvanized form deck can be considered as permanent support in most building applications. See page 19.
If uncoated form deck is used, deduct the weight of the slab from the allowable superimposed uniform loads.

* As does not meet A.C.I. criterion for temperature and shrinkage.

Recommended conform types are based upon S.D.I. criteria and normal weight concrete.
Superimposed loads are based upon three span conditions and A.C.I. moment coefficients.
Load values for single span and double spans are to be reduced.
Superimposed load values in bold type require that mesh be draped. See page 19.
Vulcrafts painted or galvanized form deck can be considered as permanent support in most building applications. See page 19.
If uncoated form deck is used, deduct the weight of the slab from the allowable superimposed uniform loads.

* As does not meet A.C.I. criterion for temperature and shrinkage.

Recommended conform types are based upon S.D.I. criteria and normal weight concrete.
Superimposed loads are based upon three span conditions and A.C.I. moment coefficients.
Load values for single span and double spans are to be reduced.
Superimposed load values in bold type require that mesh be draped. See page 19.
Vulcrafts painted or galvanized form deck can be considered as permanent support in most building applications. See page 19.
If uncoated form deck is used, deduct the weight of the slab from the allowable superimposed uniform loads.

* As does not meet A.C.I. criterion for temperature and shrinkage.

Recommended conform types are based upon S.D.I. criteria and normal weight concrete.
Superimposed loads are based upon three span conditions and A.C.I. moment coefficients.
Load values for single span and double spans are to be reduced.
Superimposed load values in bold type require that mesh be draped. See page 19.
Vulcrafts painted or galvanized form deck can be considered as permanent support in most building applications. See page 19.
If uncoated form deck is used, deduct the weight of the slab from the allowable superimposed uniform loads.

* As does not meet A.C.I. criterion for temperature and shrinkage.

Recommended conform types are based upon S.D.I. criteria and normal weight concrete.
Superimposed loads are based upon three span conditions and A.C.I. moment coefficients.
Load values for single span and double spans are to be reduced.
Superimposed load values in bold type require that mesh be draped. See page 19.
Vulcrafts painted or galvanized form deck can be considered as permanent support in most building applications. See page 19.
If uncoated form deck is used, deduct the weight of the slab from the allowable superimposed uniform loads.

Specifications
and Commentary
FOR NON-COMPOSITE
STEEL FLOOR DECK
1. Scope
This specification and commentary
pertains to the use of noncomposite
steel deck as a form for
reinforced concrete slabs.
Commentary: This specification is
not intended to cover highway
bridges (where AASHTO specifications may govern), siding applications, or exposed roofs. In the past,
most of the steel decking used in
the manner that this specification
covers, was referred to as "centering: however, various roof deck
units have successfully been used
as non-composite forms. The
specification is intended to also
include these applications.

2. Materials
2.1 Non-Composite Steel
Form
Deck: The steel deck units shall be
manufactured from steel conforming to ASTM designation A611
Grades C, D, or E, or A653-94
Structural Quality with a minimum
yield strength of 33 ksi (230 MPa).
The unit design stress shall not
exceed the yield strength multiplied
by 0.60, with a maximum of 36 ksi
(250 MPa).

Commentary: Most of the

"centering" materials are offered in
A653-94 grade 80 steel (galvanized)
or ASTM A611 grade E (uncoated);
this steel has a minimum yield
strength of 80 ksi (550 MPa) and
is generally over 90 ksi (620 MPa).

In the past, 30 ksi (210 MPa)

design stress was used for grade E
material; however, the AISI
specifications now allow a design
stress of 36 ksi (250 MPa).

2.2 Tolerances:
Panel length: Plus or minus
l/2 inch (12 mm).
Thickness: Shall not be less than
95% of the design thickness.
Panel cover width:
Minus 3/8
inch (10 mm), plus 3/4 inch (20 mm).

Panel camber and/or sweep:

1/4 inch in 10 foot lengfh
(6mm in 3m).

Panels end out of square:

I/8 inch per foot of panel width
(10 mm per m).

Commentary: The above tolerances

reflect fabrication practices for
steel deck products. Cover width
tolerances may vary due to trucking, storage, or handling.

Finishes available are:

1

Galvanized (Conforming to
ASTM A924-94 and or ASTM
A653-94);

Uncoated (Black);

Painted with a shop coat of

primer paint (one or both sides)

The uncoated finish is, by custom,

referred to as "black" by some
users and manufacturers; the use
of the word "black" does not refer
to paint color on the product.

32

Centering materials are usually

available galvanized or uncoated.
When unshored galvanized material
is used to support a reinforced
concrete slab, the slab load is
considered to be permanently
carried by the deck. When
uncoated or painted deck is used to
support a reinforced concrete slab,
the form is considered impermanent and the concrete load should
be deducted from the load capacity
of the reinforced slab.
For any permanent load carrying
function, a minimum galvanized
coating conforming to ASTM
A653-94, G60 (2180) is recommended.

3. Design
3.1 The section properties of the
steel deck unit shall be computed in
accordance with American Iron and
Steel Institute, Specification for the
Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members, 1986 edition with
addenda (AISI Specifications).

3.2 Deck used as a form for structural (reinforced) concrete slab:

3.2a Stress shall not exceed 0.60
times the yield strength, nor
exceed 36 ksi (250 MPa) under the
combined loads of wet concrete,
deck, and the following construction live loads: 20 pounds per
square foot (1kPa) uniform load
or 150 pound concentrated load on
a 1'-0" wide section of deck (2.2 kN
per m). See Figure 1.

SDI
Specifications
and Commentary
Commentary: The construction

Commentary: Form decks made of

loading is intended to simulate the

sequence of concrete placement.
For single span deck applications,
the ability to control the concrete
placement may be restricted; a 1.5
factor has been applied to the concrete load to cover this condition.
The concrete placement contractor
must be made aware of this loading
criteria and take care not to exceed
them.
3.2b Calculated form deflection
shall be based on the load of the
wet concrete (as determined by the
design slab thickness) and the steel
deck, uniformly loaded on all spans,
and shall be limited to L/180 or 3/4
inch (20 mm), whichever is smaller.
Deflection shall be relative to supporting members. See Figure 2.

grade E steel may have a radius to

thickness ratio not covered by the
AISI Specification. Experience has
shown that 11/2 inches (40 mm) of
bearing is sufficient for these
decks. If less than 11/2 inches
(40 mm) is available for any form
deck, or if high support reactions
are expected, the designer should
ask the deck manufacturer to check
the deck web crippling capacity.
In any case, the deck must be
adequately attached to the structure to prevent slip off.

Commentary: The deflection limits

of L/l80 and 3/4 inches (20 mm) are
intended to be minimum requirements. Architectural or other
considerations may influence the
designer to use a more stringent
limit.

3.2c. The minimum bearing lengths

shall be determined in accordance
with the AISI Specification; the
uniform loading case of wet concrete plus deck plus 20 pounds per
square foot (1kPa) construction
load shall be used. Minimum bearing shall be 11/2 inches (40 mm)
unless otherwise shown.

3.2d Design of the concrete slabs

shall be done in accordance with
the ACI 318 Building Code. The
concrete cover over the top of the
deck shall not be less than 1 1/2
inches (40 mm). Randomly distributed fibers or fibrous add mixes
shall not be substituted for welded
wire fabric tensile reinforcement.

Commentary: In following the ACI

318 requirements for temperature
reinforcement, the designer may
eliminate the concrete area that is
displaced by the deck ribs. For
slabs with total depth of 3 inches
(75 mm) or less, the reinforcing
mesh may be considered to be at
the center of the concrete above
the deck. See Figure 3. If uncoated
or painted deck is used as the form,
the load of the concrete slab must
be deducted from the calculated
capacity of the reinforced concrete
slab. If galvanized form is used, the
load of the slab is considered to be
permanently carried by the deck
and need not be deducted from the
live load. If temporary shoring is
used, the load of the slab must be
deducted from the calculated
capacity of the reinforced slab
regardless of the deck finish.

Except for some diaphragm values,

the deck should not be assumed to
act compositely with the concrete
even though strong chemical bonds
can, and do, develop.

4. Installation & Site

Storage
4.1 Site Storage: Steel Deck shall
be stored off the ground with one
end elevated to provide drainage
and shall be protected from the
elements with a waterproof
covering, ventilated to avoid
condensation.

4.2 Deck Placement: Place each

deck unit on the supporting structural frame. Adjust to final position
with accurately aligned side laps
and ends bearing on supporting
members and attach immediately.
On joist framing, be sure the
appropriate end joint occurs over
a top chord angle for proper
anchorage.
Commentary: Staggering deck
ends is not a recommended practice. The deck capacity as a form
and the load capacity of the noncomposite deck/slab system are
not increased by staggering the end
joints, yet layout and erection costs
are increased.

33

SDI
Specifications
and Commentary
FOR NON-COMPOSITE
STEEL FLOOR DECK

4.3 Lapped or Butted Ends: Deck

ends may be either butted or
lapped over supports.
Commentary: Gaps are acceptable
at butted ends. If taping of butted
ends is requested, it is not the
responsibility of the deck
manufacturer.

4.4 Anchorage: Floor deck units

shall be anchored to supporting
members including perimeter sup-port
steel and/or bearing walls by
either welding or by mechanical
fastening. This shall be done
immediately after alignment. Deck
units with spans greater than five
feet (1.5 m) shall have side laps and
perimeter edges (at perimeter support steel) fastened at midspan or
36 inch (1 m) intervals-whichever
is smaller.

Commentary: This anchorage may

be required to provide lateral
stability to the top flange of the
supporting structural members.

34

The deck should be anchored to act

as a working platform and to pre-vent
blow off. The frame fastening
shown in figure 4 and the side lap
fastening of 4.4 ARE MINIMUM
REQUIREMENTS. In no case should
fasteners to the supports be spaced
greater than 36 inches (1 m) on
center. The SDI Diaphragm Design
Manual, Second Edition, should be
used to determine fastening
requirements when the deck is
designed to resist horizontal loads.
The most stringent fastening
requirements, of this specification
or, if applicable, the SDI Diaphragm
Design Manual, Second Edition
should be used. Side lap fasteners
can be welds, screws, crimps
(button punching), or other
methods approved by the designer.
Welding side laps on thickness less
than 0.028 inches (0.7 mm) may
cause large burn holes, and is not
recommended. The objective of
side lap fastening is to prevent
differential sheet deflection during
concrete loading, therefore preven-ting
side joints from opening. The
five foot (1.5 m) limit on side lap
spacing is based on experience.
The deck contractor should not
leave unattached deck at the end of
the day as the wind may displace
the sheets and cause injury to
persons or property. If studs are
being welded to the top flange of
the beams, deck sheets should be
butted over the supports.

4.4a Welding: All welding of deck

shall be in strict accordance with
ANSI/AWS D1.3, Structural
Welding Code-Sheet Steel. Each
welder must demonstrate an ability
to produce satisfactory welds using
a procedure such as shown in the
SDI Manual of Construction with
Steel Deck, or as described in
ANSI/AWS D1.3. Welding washers
shall be used on all deck units with
metal thickness less than 0.028
inches (0.7 mm). Welding washers
shall be a minimum thickness of
0.0598 inches (16 gage, 1.50 mm)
and have a nominal 3/8 inch (12
mm) diameter hole. Where welding
washers are not used, a minimum
visible 5/8 inch (15 mm) diameter
arc puddle weld shall be used. Weld
metal shall penetrate all layers of
deck material at end laps and shall
have good fusion to the supporting
members. When used, fillet welds
shall be at least 1 inch (25 mm)
long.

Commentary: The welder may be

qualified under ANSI/AWS D1.1,
Structural Welding Code-Steel, or
under the provisions of other codes
governing the welding of specific
products, but may not be qualified
for welding sheet steel. In general,
stronger welds are obtained on
0.028 inches (0.7 mm) or thicker
deck without weld washers. Welds
on deck less than 0.028 inches (0.7
mm) are stronger with washers.
The layout, design, numbering or
sizing of shear connectors is not
the responsibility of the deck manufacturer. If studs are being applied
through the deck onto structural
steel, the stud welds can be used to
replace the puddle welds.

SDI
Specifications
and Commentary
4.4b Mechanical Fasteners:
Mechanical fasteners (powderactuated, screws, pneumatically
driven fasteners, etc.) are recognized as viable anchoring methods,
provided the type and spacing of
the fasteners satisfy the design
criteria. Documentation in the form
of test data, design calculations, or
design charts should be submitted
by the fastener manufacturer as the
basis for obtaining approval. The
deck manufacturer may recommend additional fasteners to
stabilize the given profile against
sideslip of any unfastened ribs.

Commentary: The allowable load

value per fastener used to deter-mine
the maximum fastener
spacing is based on a minimum
structural support thickness of not
less than 1/8 inch (3 mm) and on
the fastener providing a 5/16 inch
(8 mm) diameter minimum bearing
surface (fastener head size).

4.5 Construction Practice

4.5a All deck sheets shall have
adequate bearing and fastening to
all supports so as not to lose
support during construction. Deck
areas subject to heavy or repeated
traffic, concentrated loads, impact
loads, wheel loads, etc. shall be
adequately protected by planking or
other approved means to avoid
overloading and/or damage.

Damaged deck (sheets containing

distortions or deformations caused
by construction practices) shall be
repaired, replaced, or shored to the
satisfaction of the designer before
placing concrete. The cost of
repairing, replacing, or shoring of
damaged units shall be the liability
of the trade contractor responsible
for the damage.

Commentary: For temporary

construction loads prior to concrete
placement, it should be safe to
assume that the deck will support
a minimum uniform load of 50 psf
(2.4 kPa) without further
investigation.

4.5b The need for temporary

shoring shall be investigated and,
if required, it shall be designed
and installed in accordance with
the applicable AU code and shall be
left in place until the slab attains
75% of its specified compressive
strength.

4.5c Prior to concrete placement,

the steel deck shall be free of soil,
debris, standing water, loose mill
scale and all other foreign matter.

4.6 Information:
Commentary: Fire ratings,
diaphragm design information and
reinforced concrete slab capacities
are available from most SDI form
deck manufacturers.
Steel form deck may be used in a
variety of ways, some of which do
not lend themselves to a standard
"steel deck" analysis for span and
loading. In these cases there are
other criteria which must be
considered besides those given by
the Steel Deck Institute. Make sure
that this investigation starts with
a review of the applicable codes
and that any special conditions are
included in the design.

4.7 Fireproofing: The metal deck

manufacturer shall not be responsible for ensuring the bonding of
fireproofing. Adherence of fire-proofing
materials is dependent on
many variables; the deck manufacturer (supplier) is not responsible
for the adhesion or adhesive ability
of the fireproofing.

4.5d Care must be exercised when

placing concrete so the deck will
not be subjected to any impact that
exceeds the design capacity of the
deck. Concrete shall be placed from
a low level to avoid impact, in a
uniform manner, over the supporting structure and spread toward the
center of the deck span. If buggies
are used to place the concrete,
runways shall be planked and the
buggies shall only operate on plank-ing.
Planks shall be of adequate
stiffness to transfer loads to the
steel deck without damaging the
deck. Deck damage caused by roll
bars or careless placement must be
avoided.

(22 gage, 0.7 mm) weld deck
through manufacturer's standard
welding washers with the weld
pattern shown on the design
drawings.

3. Mechanical fasteners, either

powder actuated or pneumatically driven, or screws may be
used in lieu of welding to fasten
deck to supporting framing,
provided they have been
specifically approved.
4. Fasten side laps and perimeter
edges of units between supports
at intervals not exceeding 36
inches (1 m) on center, using
one of the following methods:
a. #10 self drilling screws;
b. crimp or button punch;
c. arc puddle welds--5/8 inch
(15 mm) minimum visible
diameter or 1 inch (25 mm)
long fillet welds.

B. Install deck ends over supports

with a minimum end bearing of
1.5 inches (40 mm).

C. Fasten pour stops and girder fillers

to supporting structure according
to the manufacturers recommendations.

D. Fasten column closures, cell

closures, and Z closures to deck to
provide tight fitting closures at
open ends of ribs and sides of
decking. Fasten cell closures at
changes of direction of deck units
unless otherwise directed.

3.5 Repairs
A. Before concrete placement, the
deck shall be inspected for tears,
dents, or other damage that may
prevent the deck from acting as a
tight and substantial form. The
need for the repair or temporary
shoring of the damaged deck shall
be determined.

Notes: 1. Minimum exterior bearing length required is 1.5 inches.Minimum interior bearing length required is 3.0 inches.
If these minimum lengths are not provided, web crippling must be checked.
2. Always contact Vulcraft when using loads in excess of 200 psf. Such loads often result from concentrated, dynamic, or long term load cases
for which reductions due to bond breakage, concrete creep, etc. should be evaluated.
3. All fire rated assemblies are subject to an upper live load limit of 250 psf.
4. Inquire about material availability of 17, 19 & 21 gage.

Notes: 1. Minimum exterior bearing length required is 1.5 inches.Minimum interior bearing length required is 3.0 inches.
If these minimum lengths are not provided, web crippling must be checked.
2. Always contact Vulcraft when using loads in excess of 200 psf. Such loads often result from concentrated, dynamic, or long term load cases
for which reductions due to bond breakage, concrete creep, etc. should be evaluated.
3. All fire rated assemblies are subject to an upper live load limit of 250 psf.
4. Inquire about material availability of 17, 19 & 21 gage.

Notes: 1. Minimum exterior bearing length required is 1.5 inches.Minimum interior bearing length required is 3.0 inches.
If these minimum lengths are not provided, web crippling must be checked.
2.Always contact Vulcraft when using loads in excess of 200 psf. Such loads often result from concentrated, dynamic, or long term load cases
for which reductions due to bond breakage, concrete creep, etc. should be evaluated.
3.All fire rated assemblies are subject to an upper live load limit of 250 psf.
4.Inquire about material availability of 17, 19 & 21 gage.

Notes: 1. Minimum exterior bearing length required is 1.5 inches.Minimum interior bearing length required is 3.0 inches.
If these minimum lengths are not provided, web crippling must be checked.
2. Always contact Vulcraft when using loads in excess of 200 psf. Such loads often result from concentrated, dynamic, or long term load cases
for which reductions due to bond breakage, concrete creep, etc. should be evaluated.
3. All fire rated assemblies are subject to an upper live load limit of 250 psf.
4. Inquire about material availability of 17, 19 & 21 gage.

Notes: 1. Minimum exterior bearing length required is 2.0 inches.Minimum interior bearing length required is 4.0 inches.
If these minimum lengths are not provided, web crippling must be checked.
2. Always contact Vulcraft when using loads in excess of 200 psf. Such loads often result from concentrated, dynamic, or long term load cases
for which reductions due to bond breakage, concrete creep, etc. should be evaluated.
3. All fire rated assemblies are subject to an upper live load limit of 250 psf.
4. Inquire about material availability of 17, 19 & 21 gage.

Notes: 1. Minimum exterior bearing length required is 2.5 inches.Minimum interior bearing length required is 5.0 inches.
If these minimum lengths are not provided, web crippling must be checked.
2. Always contact Vulcraft when using loads in excess of 200 psf. Such loads often result from concentrated, dynamic, or long term load cases
for which reductions due to bond breakage, concrete creep, etc. should be evaluated.
3. All fire rated assemblies are subject to an upper live load limit of 250 psf.
4. Inquire about material availability of 17, 19 & 21 gage.

1. Scope
This specification pertains to com-

concrete. When suitably fastened,

the steel deck also acts as a working platform for the various trades.
After the concrete hardens, the
steel deck and the concrete are
interlocked by the shape of the
deck, mechanical means, surface
bond, or by a combination of
these means.

Commentary: Most composite

steel floor deck is manufactured
from steel conforming to ASTM
Designation A611, Grades C and D
or from A653-94, Structural Quality.
If the published product literature
does not show the uncoated steel
thickness in decimal inches (or

2.2 Concrete: Concrete shall be in

accordance with the applicable
sections of chapters 3,4 and 5 of
the ACI 318 Building Code Requirements for Reinforced Concrete.
Minimum compressive strength
(f'c) shall be 3 ksi (20 MPa) or as
required for fire ratings or durability.
Admixtures containing chloride
salts shall not be used.

Commentary: The use of admixtures containing chloride salts

is not allowed because the salts
may corrode the steel deck which
has been designed as the slab
reinforcement.

3. Design (Deck as a Form)

3.1 The section properties for the
steel floor deck (as a form in bending) shall be computed in accordance with the AISI Specifications,
3.2 Bending stress in the deck shall
not exceed 0.6 times the yield
strength with a maximum of 36 ksi
(250 MPa) under the combined
loads of wet concrete, deck, and
the following construction live
loads: 20 pounds per square foot
uniform load (1 kPa) or 150 pound
concentrated load on a 1'0" wide
section of deck (2.2 kN per m).

coating as defined in ASTM
A653-94, G60 (Z180).

The tolerances reflect fabrication

processes for steel deck products.
Variation in cover width tolerances
may vary due to trucking, storage

specified by the designer and be
suitable for the environment of
the structure.

SDI
Specifications
and Commentary
FOR COMPOSITE
FLOOR DECK
Commentary: The loading shown
in Figure 1 is representative of the
sequential loading of wet concrete
on the form. The 150 pound load
is the arithmetic result of 200 lb.
(man's weight) x 3/4. The philosophy here is to allow a l/3 increase
in stress due to the temporary
nature of a man load. Decreasing
the load by 25% is the mathematical equivalent of allowing a 33%
increase in stress. Also the 150
pound load is considered to be
applied in a one foot width but
experience has shown that a greater
distribution really occurs. For single
span deck applications the ability to
control the concrete placement
may be restricted and a 1.5 factor
has been applied to the concrete
load to cover this condition. (The
metric equivalent of the 150 pound
load over a foot of width is 2.2 kN
over a meter of width.)

3.3 Calculated theoretical deflections of the deck, as a form, shall

be based on the load of the concrete (as determined by the design
slab thickness) and the load from
the steel deck, uniformly loaded on
all spans, and shall be limited to
L/180 or 3/4 inch (20 mm), whichever is smaller. Deflections shall be
relative to supporting members.

See Figure 2.
Commentary: The deflection
calculations do not take into
account construction loads since
these are considered as temporary
loads. The deck is designed to
always be in the elastic range so
removal of temporary loads should
allow the deck to recover. The
structural steel also deflects under
the loading of the wet concrete.

The designer is urged to check the

deflection of the total system
especially if composite beams and
girders are being used.

3.4 Minimum bearing lengths shall

be determined in accordance with
the AISI Specification; a uniform
loading case of wet concrete, plus
deck, plus 20 psf (1 kPa) construction load shall be used.

See Figure 3.
Commentary: In the past, 1-1/2
inches (40 mm) of end bearing was
the minimum; this is still a good
"rule of thumb" that will, in
general, prevent slip off. If less than
1-1/2 inches (40 mm) of end bearing
is available, or if high support
reactions are expected, then the
designer should ask the deck manufacturer to check the deck web
crippling strength. In any case, the
deck must be adequately attached
to the structure to prevent slip off.

4. Installation & Site

Storage
4.1 Site Storage: Steel Deck shall

4.3 Butted Ends: Deck sheets shall

be butted over supports. Standard
tolerance for ordered length is plus
or minus 1/2 inch (12 mm).
Commentary: Lapping composite
deck ends can be difficult because
shear lugs (web embossment) or
profile shape can prevent a tight
metal to metal fit. The space
between sheets can make welded
attachments more difficult. Gaps
are acceptable at butted ends. If
taping of butted ends is requested,
it is not the responsibility of the
deck manufacturer.

4.4 Anchorage: Floor Deck units

shall be anchored to supporting
members including perimeter
support steel and/or bearing walls
by either welding or by mechanical
fastening. This shall be done
immediately after alignment. Deck
units with spans greater than five
feet (1.5 m) shall have side laps

large burn holes, and is not recommended. The objective of side lap
fastening is to prevent differential
sheet deflection during concrete
placing and therefore prevent side
joints from opening. The five foot
(1.5 m) limit on side lap spacing is
based on experience. The deck
contractor should not leave
unattached deck at the end of the
day, as the wind may displace the
sheets and cause injury to persons
or property. The SDI Diaphragm
Design Manual, Second Edition,
should be used to determine
fastening requirements if the deck
will be designed to resist horizontal
loads. The most stringent requirements, of either section 4.4 or,
if applicable, the SDI Diaphragm
Design Manual, should be used.

4.4a Welding: All welding of deck

shall be in strict accordance with
ANSI/AWS D1.3 Structural Welding
Code-Sheet Steel. Each welder
must demonstrate an ability to
produce satisfactory welds using
a procedure such as shown in the
SDI Manual of Construction with
Steel Deck or as described in
ANSI/AWS D1.3. A minimum visible
5/8 inch (15 mm) diameter puddle
weld or equivalent is required at all
edge ribs, plus a sufficient number
of interior ribs to provide a maximum average spacing of 12 inches
(300 mm). The maximum spacing
between adjacent points of attach-ment
shall not exceed 18 inches
(460 mm). Fillet welds, when used,

52

shall be at least 1 inch (25 mm)

long. Weld metal shall penetrate all
layers of deck material at end laps
and shall have good fusion to the
supporting members. Welding
washers shall be used on all deck
units with a metal thickness less
than 0.028 inches (0.7 mm). Welding washers shall be a minimum
thickness of 0.056 inches (1.5 mm,
16 gage) and have a nominal
3/8 inch (10 mm) diameter hole.

Commentary: The welder may be

qualified on plate or pipe under
ANSI/AWS Dl.1, Structural Welding
Code-Steel, or under the provisions of other codes governing the
welding of specific products, but
may not be qualified for welding
sheet steel. The layout, design,
numbering or sizing of shear connectors is not the responsibility of
the deck manufacturer. If studs are
being applied through the deck onto
structural steel, the stud welds can
be used to replace the puddle
welds. In general, stronger welds
are obtained on 0.028 inches
(0.7 mm) or thicker deck without
weld washers. Welds on deck less
than 0.028 inches (0.7 mm) are
stronger with washers.
4.4b Mechanical Fasteners:
Mechanical fasteners (powderactuated, screws, pneumatically
driven fasteners, etc.) are recognized as viable anchoring methods,
provided the type and spacing of
the fasteners satisfies the design
criteria. Documentation in the form
of test data, design calculations, or
design charts should be submitted
by the fastener manufacturer as the
basis for obtaining approval. The
deck manufacturer may recommend additional fasteners to
stabilize the given profile against
sideslip of unfastened ribs.

Commentary: The allowable load

value per fastener used to determine the maximum fastener
spacing is based on a minimum
structural support thickness of not
less than '/a inch (3 mm) and on the
fastener providing a 5/ls inch
(8 mm) diameter minimum bearing
surface (fastener head size).

5. Design Deck and

Concrete As A Composite
Unit
5.1 General: The composite slab
shall be designed as a reinforced
concrete slab with the steel deck
acting as the positive reinforcement. Slabs shall be designed as
simple or continuous spans under
uniform loads.

Commentary: High concentrated

loads, diaphragm loads, etc. require
additional analysis. Horizontal load
capacities can be checked by refer-ring
to the SDI Diaphragm Design
Manual, Second Edition.
Most published live load tables are
based on simple span analysis of
the composite system; that is, the
slab is assumed to crack over each
support. If the designer wants a
continuous slab, then negative
reinforcing should be designed
using conventional reinforced
concrete design techniques. The
welded wire mesh, chosen for temperature reinforcing (Section 5.5),
does not usually supply enough
area for continuity. The deck is
not considered to be compression
reinforcing.

SDI
Specifications
and Commentary
FOR COMPOSITE STEEL
FLOOR DECK

Care should be used during the

placement of loads on rolled-in
hanger tabs for the support of ceilings so that approximate uniform
loading is maintained. The
individual manufacturer should
be consulted for allowable loading
on single rolled-in hanger tabs.
Improper use of rolled-in hanger
tabs could result in the overstressing of such tabs and/or
the overloading of the composite
deck slab.

5.2 Testing: The deck manufacturer shall have performed, under

the supervision of a professional
engineer, a sufficient number of
tests on the composite deck slab
system to have verified composite
behavior. The tests shall have been
performed on deck with a coating/
finish that is acceptable for the
application and as supplied. Based
on the test information the design
load rationale shall be established
by: (1) elastic flexural analysis,
(2) ultimate strength analysis.
5.2a Load Determination-Elastic
Flexural Analysis. This method of
load determination is to be used if
there are no shear studs, or less
than the minimum number of shear
studs as required by the American
Institute of Steel Construction
(AISC) Specifications, on the
beams perpendicular to the deck.
Under the combined stresses
caused by the superimposed (live)
load and locked in form load, the
tensile stress of the deck between

permanent supports shall not

exceed 0.60 times the yield strength
of the steel or 36 ksi (250 MPa).
The allowable load so determined
may be increased by 10% if temperature and shrinkage reinforce-ment
conforming to Section 5.5
of this specification is included in
the system. Either allowable stress
design (ASD) or load resistance
factor design (LRFD) may be used
to determine the load capacities.

5.2b Load DeterminationUltimate Strength Analysis. This

method of load determination is to
be used if there are shear studs on
the beams perpendicular to the
deck in sufficient quantity to meet
the minimum requirements of the
American Institute of Steel
Construction (AISC) Specifications
or, if tests on a particular deck
profile have shown that the deck
is capable of developing the full
ultimate moment without shear
studs. Using standard reinforced
concrete design procedures the
allowable superimposed load shall
be found by using appropriate load
resistance design (LRFD) factors to
deduct the moment caused by the
slab and deck weight from the
calculated ultimate moment. Additional load reduction factors may
be required if the number of shear
studs used in the actual construction is less than needed to develop
the ultimate capacity of the deck/
slab. Mn=0.85 As Fy (d-a/2), the
ultimate moment, where As=steel
deck area in square inches per foot
of width (sq. mm per m); Fy=the
steel yield strength (not to exceed
60 ksi, 415 MPa); d = the distance,
inches (mm), from the top of the
slab to the centroid of the steel
deck; a=AsFy/(0.85f'cb), inches
(mm); and b is 12 inches (or 1
meter).

Commentary: By using one (or

both) of the appropriate analysis
techniques, the deck manufacturer
determines the live loads that can
be applied to the composite deck
slab combination. The results are
usually published as uniform load
tables. The manufacturer may
instead publish loads based on the
results of a "shear bond" testing
program and these loads would
also be appropriate. For most
applications, the deck thickness
and profile is selected so that shoring is not required; the live load
capacity of the composite system
is usually more than adequate for
the superimposed (live) loads. In
calculating the section properties of
the deck (under section 3.1 of these
specifications), the AISI provisions
may require that compression
zones in the deck be reduced to an
"effective width:' but as tensile
reinforcement, the total area of the
cross section may be used.
Coatings other than those tested
may be investigated, and if there is
evidence that their performance will
be better than that of the tested
product, additional testing may not
be required. For example, it is well
accepted that deck with light tight
rust provides better shear bond
than galvanized, therefore tested
galvanized load capacities may be
used for rusted decking.

53

SDI
Specifications
and Commentary
5.3 Concrete: Concrete for composite slabs must be of structural
quality as shown in ACI 318.
Stresses in the concrete shall not
exceed those allowed in ACI 318.
However, if allowable stress design
(ASD) is used, then the compressive stress in the concrete shall not
exceed 0.45 f'c.

Commentary: Load tables are

generally calculated by using a
concrete strength of 3 ksi (20 MPa).
Composite slab capacities are not
greatly affected by variations in
concrete strength; but, if the
strength falls below 3 ksi (20 MPa),
it would be advisable to check
shear stud strengths. Fire rating
requirements may dictate the
minimum concrete strength.

5.3a Minimum Cover: The

minimum concrete above the top
of the floor deck shall be 2 inches
(50 mm). When additional (negative
bending) reinforcement is placed in
the slab, the minimum cover of
concrete above the reinforcing shall
be 3/4 inch (20 mm).

5.4 Deflection: Deflection of the

composite slab shall not exceed
L/360 under the superimposed
load.
Commentary: Live load deflections
are seldom a design factor.
The deflection of the slab/deck
combination can best be predicted
by using the average of the cracked
and untracked moments of inertia
as determined by the transformed
section method of analysis.

54

5.5 Temperature and Shrinkage

reinforcement, consisting of welded
wire fabric or reinforcing bars, shall
have a minimum area of 0.00075
times the area of concrete above
the deck (per foot or per meter of
width), but shall not be less than
the area provided by 6 x 6-W1.4 x
W1.4 welded wire fabric. For those
products so manufactured, shear
transfer wires welded to the top of
the deck may be considered to act
as shrinkage or temperature
reinforcement.
Commentary: If welded wire mesh
is used with a steel area given by
the above formula, it will generally
not be sufficient to be the total
negative reinforcement; however,
the mesh has shown that it does a
good job of crack control especially
if kept near the top of the slab (3/4
inch to 1 inch cover, 20 to 25 mm).

6. Construction Practice
All deck sheets shall have adequate
bearing and fastening to all
supports so as not to lose support
during construction. Deck areas
subject to heavy or repeated traffic,
concentrated loads, impact loads,
wheel loads, etc. shall be adequately protected by planking or
other approved means to avoid
overloading and/or damage.
Damaged deck (sheets containing
distortions or deformations caused
by construction practices) shall be
repaired, replaced, or shored to the
satisfaction of the designer before
placing concrete. The cost of
repairing, replacing, or shoring of
damaged units shall be the liability
of the trade contractor responsible
for the damage.

Commentary: For temporary

construction loads prior to concrete
placement, it should be safe to
assume that the deck will support
a minimum uniform load of 50 psf
(2.4 MPa) without further
investigation.
6.1 The need for temporary
shoring shall be investigated and,
if required, it shall be designed and
installed in accordance with the
applicable ACI code and shall be left
in place until the slab attains 75%
of it's specified compressive
strength.
6.2 Prior to concrete placement,
the steel deck shall be free of soil,
debris, standing water, loose mill
scale and all other foreign matter.
6.3 Care must be exercised when
placing concrete so that the deck
will not be subjected to any impact
that exceeds the design capacity of
the deck. Concrete shall be placed
from a low level to avoid impact,
and in a uniform manner over the
supporting structure and spread
toward the center of the deck span.
If buggies are used to place the
concrete, runways shall be planked
and the buggies shall only operate
on planking. Planks shall be of
adequate stiffness to transfer loads
to the steel deck without damaging
the deck. Deck damage caused by
roll bars or careless placement
must be avoided.

7. Additional Information
and Comments
7.1 Parking Garages: Composite
floor deck has been used successfully in many parking structures
around the country; however, the
following precautions should be
observed:
1. slabs should be designed as
continuous spans with negative
bending reinforcing over the
supports;
2. additional reinforcing should
be included to deter cracking
caused by large temperature
differences and to provide load
distribution; and,
3. in areas where salt water;
either brought into the structure
by cars in winter or carried by
the wind in coastal areas, may
deteriorate the deck, protective
measures must be taken. The
top surface of the slab must be
effectively sealed so that the salt
water cannot migrate through
the slab to the steel deck.
A minimum G90 (2275) galvanizIng is recommended, and, the
exposed bottom surface of the
deck should be protected with
a durable paint.
The protective measures must
be maintained for the life of the
building. If the protective
measures cannot be assured,
the steel deck can be used as
a stay in place form and the
concrete can be reinforced with
mesh or bars as required.

7.2 Cantilevers: When cantilevers

7.7 Other Criteria: Composite Steel

are encountered, the deck acts only

as a permanent form; top reinforcing steel must be proportioned by
the designer.

floor deck may be used in a variety

of ways, some of which do not lend
themselves to a standard "steel
deck" analysis for span and
loading. There are, in these cases,
other criteria which must be considered besides that given by the
Steel Deck Institute. Make sure this
investigation starts with a review of
the applicable Codes and that any
special conditions are included
in the design.

7.3 Composite Beams and

Girders:
Most composite floor deck sections
are suitable for use with composite
beams. The AISC Specification
specifically provides for the use of
deck in this type of construction.

7.4 Fire Ratings: Many fire rated

assemblies that use composite
floor decks are available. Consult a
SDI member manufacturer for a list
of ratings.
7.5 Fireproofing: The metal deck
manufacturer shall not be responsible for ensuring the bonding of
fireproofing. The adherence of
fireproofing materials is dependent
on many variables; the deck
manufacturer (supplier) is not
responsible for the adhesion or
adhesive ability of the fireproofing.
7.6 Dynamic Loads: Dynamic
loading, e.g., fork lifts, can, over
a period of time, interfere with
the mechanical bond between the
concrete and deck which achieves
its composite action via web
indents. Reinforcing steel running
perpendicular to the deck span and
placed on top of the deck ribs is
often used with this type of loading
to distribute concentrated loads.

be multi-span and not require
shoring during the concrete placement procedure.

G. The deck type provided shall be

capable of supporting the superimposed live loads as shown on
the plans.

2.3 Accessories
A. Pour stops, column closures, end
closures, cover plates, and girder
fillers shall be the type required by
the Steel Deck Institute.

B. Mechanical fasteners or welds

are acceptable for accessory
attachments.

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 Examine support framing and field
conditions for compliance with requirements for installation tolerances and
other conditions affecting performance
of work of this section. All O.S.H.A.
rules for erection must be followed.

3.2 Preparation
A. Place deck in accordance with
approved placement plans.

B. Do not place deck panels on

concrete support structure until
concrete has cured and is dry.
C. Locate deck bundles to prevent
overloading of support members.

3.3 Installation, General

A. Install deck panels and accessories
according to Steel Deck Institute
specifications and recommendations, and in accordance with the
placement plans, and requirements
of this Section.

B. Install temporary shoring, if required, before placing deck panels.

C. Place deck panels on structural

supports and adjust to final position
with ends aligned. Attach firmly to
the supports immediately after
placement in order to form a safe
working platform.

D. Cut and neatly fit deck units and

accessories around openings and
other work projecting through or
adjacent to the decking.

E. Trades that subsequently cut

unscheduled openings through the
deck are responsible for reinforcing
the openings.

3.4 Installation, Floor Deck

A. Anchor floor deck units to steel
supporting members by arc spot
puddle welds of the following
diameter and spacing or fillet welds
of equal strength.
1. Weld diameter: minimum visible
518 inch (15 mm).
2. Weld spacing: Weld edge ribs
of panels at each support. Space
additional welds an average of
12 inches (300 mm) apart but
not more than 18 inches (460
mm).
3. Mechanical fasteners, either
powder actuated or
pneumatically driven, or screws
may be used in lieu of welding to
fasten deck to supporting
framing, provided they have
been specifically approved.

4. Fasten side laps and perimeter

edges of units between supports
at intervals not exceeding 36
inches (1 m) on center, using
one of the following methods:
a. #10 self drilling screws;
b. crimp or button punch;
c. arc puddle welds 5/8 inch
(15 mm) minimum visible
diameter, or 1 inch (25 mm)
long fillet welds.
B. End Bearing: Install deck ends over
supports with a minimum end bearing of 1.5 inches (40 mm).

C. Pour Stops and Girder Fillers:

Fasten pour stops and girder fillers
to supporting structure according
to the manufacturers recommendations.

D. Floor Deck Closures: Fasten

column closures, cell closures, and
Z closures to deck to provide tight
fitting closures at open ends of ribs
and sides of decking. Fasten cell
closures at changes of direction of
floor deck units unless otherwise
directed.

3.5 Repairs
A. Before concrete placement, the
deck shall be inspected for tears,
dents, or other damage that may
prevent the deck from acting as a
tight and substantial form. The
need for the repair or temporary
shoring of the damaged deck shall
be determined.

SDI
Code of Recommended
Standard Practice
FOR COMPOSITE DECK
FORM DECK, AND ROOF
DECK CONSTRUCTION

1. General
1.1 Scope: This code is intended to
promote safety and quality construction in accordance with good
engineering practice. It is designed
to assist in the preparation of the
sales contract by providing contract
details which can be adopted by
reference.

1.2 Application: This code shall

govern where building codes,
architects' and engineers' plans and
specifications or contracts are not
complete or clear. There shall be no
conflict between this code and any
legal building regulation; it shall only
supplement and amplify such laws.

1.3 Design: In the absence of

ordinances or specifications to the
contrary, design shall be in accordance with the current Specifications
of the Steel Deck Institute. Steel
roof deck and floor deck, both composite and non-composite? may be
used in a variety of ways, some of
which do not lend themselves to a
standard "steel deck" analysis for
span and loading. There are, in
these cases, other criteria which
must be considered besides that
given by the Steel Deck Institute.
Make sure that this investigation
starts with a review of the applicable
Codes and that any special condiTions are included in the design.
1.4 Plans and Specifications for
Bidding: Plans and specifications
shall clearly show details and shall
be complete as to the extent of deck
and accessories to be furnished by
the seller.

1.5 Responsibility for Design:

When details of design are
specified, the seller shall assume no
responsibility other than to furnish
materials as specified. When details
of design are not specified, the
seller shall furnish all materials
required in accordance with Section
1.3 of this code.

2. Bidding
2.1 Base Bids:
2.1.1 Roof Deck: Base bids shall
include roof deck as shown in plan
on structural drawings. Base bid
shall also include ridge and valley
plates and sump pans per architectural drawings and specifications.
No other deck or accessories shall
be included unless specified.

2.1.2 Composite Floor Deck and

Non-Composite Form Deck: Base
bids shall include deck as shown in
plan and only those accessories
specifically designated on the structural drawings and called for in the
appropriate division of the specifications. No other deck or accessories
shall be included unless specified.

2.2 Incomplete Plans and

Specifications: Incomplete plans
and specifications shall be bid on
the basis that the seller shall provide
material in agreement with the
provisions of this code.

2.3 Special Details: Any material

3. Drawings and
Specifications
3.1 Furnished by Buyer: The buyer
shall furnish complete architectural
plans and specifications, structural
steel drawings, and purlin placing
plans, all correctly dimensioned.
3.2 Furnished by Seller: The seller
shall furnish erection layouts clearly
showing the location of all sheets.
The seller shall also furnish as many
prints as may be reasonably necessary, but the tracing shall remain
the property of the seller.

3.3 Discrepancies: The architect's

plans shall be assumed to be
correct in the absence of written
notice from the buyer to the
contrary. When structural steel or
purlin placing plans do not agree
with the architect's plans, the structural plans shall be considered as a
written notice of change of plans.
3.4 Approval: The erection layouts
shall be submitted to the buyer for
approval unless the buyer instructs
the seller to submit same directly to
the architect or waives his right of
approval. The buyer (or architect)
shall return one copy marked with
his approval or with such corrections as he may deem necessary.
The seller shall not start shop work
prior to final approval of his drawings unless such approval is waived.

required to support the steel deck

shall not be included. The design of
deck supports shall be the responsibility of the architect and/or
engineer of record. Deck shall be
furnished in sheet lengths of 6 feet
(2.0 m) or greater. Any deck sheets
requiring lengths less than 6 feet
(2.0 m) shall be field cut by others
unless special arrangements are
made with individual manufacturers.

65

SDI
Code of Recommended
Standard Practice
The deck manufacturer is not
responsible for putting a professional seal or signature on erection
drawings. Erection drawings are
made to show the deck products
as an overlay on the structural or
architectural plans and as such the
drawings are trying to meet the job
requirements set forth by the
designer. If the deck manufacturer
were to check and seal erection
drawings, it would subvert that
important function.

3.5 Changes by Buyer After

Approval: When any changes are
made by the buyer after approval
or when any extra materials are
required, the cost of such changes
and extra materials shall be paid by
the buyer at a price agreed upon
between the buyer and seller.

4. Collateral Material
Although certain collateral materials
are not supplied by the steel deck
manufacturer, it is the desire of the
Steel Deck Institute to have certain
principles followed in specifying
and furnishing these collateral
materials in order to provide a
satisfactory deck assembly. This
code is not intended to encroach
upon the standard practices of the
related industries, but is intended
to supplement and amplify specifications pertaining to their products.

66

4.1 Insulation: All steel roof decks

shall be covered with a material
of sufficient insulating value to
prevent condensation under normal
occupancy conditions. Insulation
shall be adequately attached to the
steel roof deck by adhesives or
mechanical fasteners. Insulation
materials shall be protected from
the elements at all times during
their storage and installation.
The following paragraph 11.3,
Phenolic Foams has been extracted,
with permission, from the Annual
Book of ASTM Standards, copy-right
American Society for Testing
and Materials, 1916 Race Street,
Philadelphia, PA 19103.
11.3 PHENOLIC FOAMS may contain some compounds which may
promote corrosion in the presence
of liquid water. As far as can be
ascertained, there are currently no
directly applicable ASTM corrosion
tests for phenolic foams. An
attempt will be made to develop a
meaningful corrosion test and will
be incorporated into the standard
when it becomes available. When it
is anticipated that the foam will be
in direct contact with metal, the
foam supplier shall provide the
proper installation procedure.

4.2 Acoustical Batts: When open

rib acoustical deck is provided,
sound absorbing acoustical glass
fiber batts shall be installed in the
field by the roofing contractor.
Batts shall be shipped and stored at
the jobsite in such a manner as to
ensure protection until installation.
If acoustical batts become wet,
they shall be allowed to thoroughly
dry without being compressed
before installation.

4.3 Roof Coverings: A suitable roof

covering shall be applied over the
insulation.
4.4. Sheet Metal Work: All
closures, flashing, etc., used in
roof deck construction, unless
otherwise specified, shall be
detailed and furnished by the sheet
metal contractor.

4.5 Field Painting: Any field painting or touch-up of abrasions or

deterioration of the primer coat or
other protective finishes shall be
the responsibility of the buyer.

4.6. Shear Connectors: The layout,

design, numbering or sizing of
shear connectors is not the responsibility of the deck manufacturer.

5. Construction Practice
The Steel Deck Institute recomMendations for site storage, installation, and construction practices
are addressed specifically in the
appropriate deck specifications
in this design manual and are an
integral part of this Code of
Recommended Standard Practice.

DIAPHRAGM SHEAR STRENGTH AND STIFFNESS

The following information is based upon the Steel Deck
Institutes Second Edition of the Diaphragm Design Manual
prepared by Larry D. Luttrell, Ph.D., P.E. Dr. Luttrell has been involved
in testing of diaphragms at West Virginia University since 1965.
The following limiting conditions are taken from this book. "The
quality of a diaphragm can be limited by inattention to detail
particularly at end and edge terminations."
End Laps

Mixed Panel Lengths

"When decks are installed with multiple spans, occasional shorter
panels may be required. In a large diaphragm area, the shear strength
can be determined satisfactorily by using the typical three span panel
length."
Load Tables
The following load tables are based upon Vulcrafts various types
of steel floor and roof deck.

"At interior positions, panels must be sufficiently overlapped to

provide adequate distances for the connector used. A minimum end
distance for fasteners used should be one inch requiring an end lap
not less than two inches. Within the system, end laps may be
staggered or on a continuous line without particular effect on the
diaphragm strength. However, greater care must be exercised in
making connections through multiple layers of deck at the panel
corners on the end lap. If panels are butted at their ends rather than
end lapped, as is common with floor decks, then each panel must be
individually connected at its ends with the specified pattern."

The Steel deck Institute has done testing that allows prediction of
deck-fill combinations. One combination is lightweight insulating fill.
Type I fill, with vermiculite aggregate, 2 inches deep, has been shown
to exhibit some greater strength than a bare diaphragm while Type II
with a rigid insulation board imbedded with two or more inches of
vermiculite concrete over the top has an even higher value.

Side Laps

On some of the light-gage shallow decks, you will notice that as

the spans get long the shear strength reaches some maximum value.
This is caused from "plate-like shear buckling". As the thickness of the
deck gets smaller and the spans get longer for shallow decks, buckling
can result as the shear strength increases. See Section 2.4 Stability
Checks of DDM02.

"The overlapping edges of panels should be in close contact to

allow minimum eccentricity of fasteners in the lap. When s t i t c h
fasteners connect adjacent panels between supports, equivalent or
superior fasteners should be used on the edgemost panel at the
diaphragm perimeter. Otherwise shear strength along the first interior
sidelap may exceed that along the perimeter member and thus
diminish the contribution of the stitch fasteners."
Welds
"Welds should be made by qualified operators following AWS
D1.3 specifications. Approximate checks on weld quality can be made
by placing one end of a long panel over a support and attaching it only
to that support with two welds six inches apart. The far end of the
panel can be moved in the diaphragm plane by a workman until shear
distress is noted in the weld. The welds should be sufficient to cause
local distortions in the panel around both the welds and the panel. For
22, 20, and 18 gage panels, the weld should not shear across its
contact plane on structural supports else the welding temperature may
have been too low for adequate penetration."
Screws
"Screws must be installed using properly calibrated tools to avoid
overdriving which can strip the threads at sidelaps or sever the screw
when it is placed into heavier substrata."
Power Driven Fasteners
"The fasteners must be installed following the manufacturers
recommendations. Care must be exercised in setting the driving force
to obtain the proper depth of penetration. Once driven properly, these
nail-like fasteners are very resistant to extraction by uplift forces. In
uplift test on sheet materials, the usual mode of failure is one of
tearing the seat around the head or washer leaving the fastener in
place."
Split Panels
"Finishing out a diaphragm at its edge may require a split panel at
what usually is a higher shear zone in the structure. Formulas of this
section may be used to evaluate this special case noting the partial
panel width. Such a partial panel should be connected in every valley
at all supports regardless of adjacent fastener patterns. Extra stitch
connectors should be considered at the split panel sidelap."
Longitudinal Edges
"In applications where joists terminate on a shear wall, the edgemost diaphragm panel may not contact the wall. If intermediate stitch
fasteners have been required on sidelaps, similar intermediate stitch
fasteners must exist at the edge. These can be accomodated by
installing a block-like spacer on the wall, to match the joist elevation,
and then making connections to the block."

Both lightweight and normal weight structural concrete on

composite and non-composite deck are presented here. A minimum
value for 2 inches of concrete over the top of the deck has been
computed in the tables.

This catalog is not presented as an alternative to the use of the

Second Edition of the Diaphragm Desing Manual (DDM02), but as an
extension to it for our decks. We have given you the shear strength
and stiffness of our various decks, but not the backup data behind
these calculations. DDM02 does a good job of supplying that
information. We hope that you will contact the SDI about ordering your
own copy of DDM02. Steel Deck Institute, P.O. Box 25, Fox River
Grove, IL 60021-0025.
These tables were derived making the following assumptions.
1.

The number of fasteners are the same at both end members

and interior supports. Example: 36/7 means 36 inch wide
deck with 7 fasteners per support. One in each flute.
2. The number of intermediate sidelap stitch connectors is
assumed to be the same as the number of extreme edge
fasteners.
3. The values printed have the factor of safety applied. 3.25 for
filled diaphragms, 2.75 when any of a bare diaphragm is
welded, and 2.35 when a bare diaphragm is mechanically
fastened.
4. All values are for a three span condition. Greater values are
available for a 1 or 2 span condition since you will have more
fasteners to count in the calculation of strength.
5. Where welded sidelaps are shown, either use a 5/8" puddle
weld or a 3/8" x 1" arc seam weld. The Steel Deck Institute
recommends not welding the sidelaps if the thickness of the
deck is 0.0295" or less.
6. Where welds are shown at the supports, the Steel Deck
Institute recommends using welding washers only on deck
thicknesses less than 0.028". These should be 16 gage with
a 3/8" hole in them.
7. Lightweight fill (vermiculite) should be placed only on slot
vented deck (type CSV).
8. For roof deck and composite floor deck the steel yield point is
taken as 33ksi. For form deck it is taken as 80ksi.
9. The column with the asterisk above it contains the number of
sidelap fasteners per span. That is, if the line that is selected
has 4 under the asterisk and the span is five feet, then it will
be one fastener per foot in the sidelap.
10. The tables already have considered a stress increase of 1.33
for short-term or wind loading. The values are not to be
increased again.
11. The Steel Deck Institute does not recognize button punched
sidelaps, with interlocking deck, as a valid sidelap fastener
for developing diaphragm shear strength.
