To assist designers with specifying the correct steel deck profile, see figure 1.2.3 which details how to specify the intended product. Following these guidelines will help to eliminate requests for information and change orders due to insufficient product descriptions in the plans and specifications. Designers can be assured that the product
All decking material shall be 2x6 or 5/4 (five-quarter) board. Attach decking to each joist with a minimum of (2) ring shank 8D nails or 2-1/2” wood screws. Deck-ing may be applied diagonally at a 45 degree angle perpendicular to the joists.
Composite slabs consist of profiled steel decking with an in-situ reinforced concrete topping. 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.
A rectangular reinforced concrete slab is simply-supported on two masonry walls 250 mm thick and 3.75 m apart. The slab has to carry a distributed permanent action of 1.0 kN/m2 (excluding slab self-weight) and a variable action of 3.0 kN/m2. The materials to be used are grade C25 concrete and grade 500 reinforcement. The slab is outside ...
Bond beams are a very common method to achieve this desired continuity to allow all masonry wall segments to work together as a single unit. This insight will discuss the use and detailing of bond beams in masonry walls. What is a bond beam?
The design of concrete blockwork walls to resist lateral loads follows the guidance given in BS 5628 Part 1 and Part 2. In the case of walls containing bond beams the principle is to divide the walls into sub-panels using the bond beams and any vertical supports e.g. wind posts, local vertical reinforcement.
The attached deck design guide is intended to streamline the design and approval process for the installation of a new residential deck. The information and details within the guide have been vetted by Building Officials
