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.
Reinforced concrete wall metal decking.
3 common rib depths.
Roof construction is typically heavy steel frames.
Composite action occurs between slab and beams joists below.
However some newer systems have been developed with lighter residential construction in mind.
Single wraps metal straps installed on each truss rafter that wrap over the top of the truss rafter and attach to the wall frame in one location.
1 introduction composite slabs consist of profiled steel decking with an in situ reinforced concrete topping.

Roof deck and roof cover systems.
Concrete block reinforced masonry tilt up concrete load bearing walls may be combined with some heavy steel framing.
This has decreased costs and also contributed to concrete floors popularity.
Serves as tensile reinforcement for the concrete slab.
Slenderwall architectural cladding panels.
Architectural precast concrete pva fiber and welded wire reinforcing stainless steel.
Floors commonly concrete on steel deck for multi story buildings.
Permanent formwork for reinforced concrete slab until slab can support itself and the live load.
Slenderwall is a high performance thermal and fire code compliant astm e119 fire tested architectural precast composite modular cladding system reduce structural costs and on site trades with the only envelope system that combines the proven technologies.
Metal clip should be free of severe corrosion have a minimum of 3 nails into the truss rafter and 3 nails into the wall.
Reinforced concrete floor decks have become increasingly popular in homes over the last decade and many of the floor systems used are adapted from commercial construction.
Historically it s been specified for use in shotcrete and for ground bearing or pile supported industrial flooring.
