Composite Steel Deck Concrete Floor Systems
Structo crete structural concrete panels are 4 x 8 x 3 4 thick and weigh approximately 5 3 psf.
Composite steel deck concrete floor systems. Total lewis deck is a dovetail shaped deck with embossed ribs. Steel deck panels are supplied with both galvanized and painted finishes to meet an array of project finish requirements. Totaljoist is our patented steel floor joist.
The decking not only acts as permanent formwork to the concrete but also provides sufficient shear bond with the concrete so that when the concrete has gained strength the two materials act together compositely. Composite slabs consist of profiled steel decking with an in situ reinforced concrete topping. Cold formed steel c shape floor joists combined with usg s structo crete non combustible floor sheathing gives you a 100 non combustible floor system that feels like a concrete floor without the need to pour concrete.
The composite action allows the deck to serve as the tensile reinforcement for positive bending in the slab which significantly reduces or eliminates the need for rebar in the slab and lowers material and labor costs. Composite deck is designed for use with structural concrete and is manufactured with mechanical embossments in the webs to create mechanical and chemical bond between the deck and the concrete. Conventional gypsum board ceiling is directly attached to or drop ceiling hung from the steel deck to construct a finished interior surface.
The main flanges of the joists are punched with large holes for utility pass through. Our lightweight composite and non composite steel deck profiles have depths that range from 7 8 to 71 2. The ultrabond xl floor system s structure consists of a high strength long span steel floor deck that acts as permanent concrete form to create a composite reinforced one way slab.
With stay in place formwork composite totaljoist combines the benefits of our totaljoist system with total lewis deck and concrete to create a premium concrete floor system that is stable and feels solid. Besides the different joist installation is nearly identical. Composite cold formed steel joist a newer version of the composite bar joist system uses joists made of a single piece of cold formed steel instead of heavy steel pieces welded together.
Asc steel deck offers a robust selection of products. Once the concrete cures the resulting composite floor system provides superior strength and stiffness. 1 5cd 1 5cdi composite deck both available with rolled in hanger tabs.
