A steel deck accessory comprised of a flat, light gauge steel plate that fastened with screws atop two adjacent pieces of metal deck when the orientation of the two deck sheets changes directions at the same structural support.
Is a type of temporary weld for attaching metal deck sheets or accessories to the supporting structure. It is a weld that is only used to hold pieces in place until final welds are completed.
The process using dies at the end of a profiled sheet of metal deck, in order to create a slight flare which allows the panel ends to be easily laid on top of each other during erection.
Also known as approval drawings, are documents developed by the steel deck supplier, indicating their interpretation of the design documents for the purpose of fabricating and installing metal deck and accessories.
A molded groove, bead projection or indentation usually running with the sheet of metal deck used to strengthen the flats to minimize oil canning or buckling.
A raised joint between two sheets of metal deck that is made by turning up the adjacent steel deck panel edges and then folding, or interlocking, them in different ways.
The overlapping of neighboring longitudinal edges steel deck. The steel deck panels must have the same profile to be able to overlap. Some shapes of steel deck profiles are not able to overlap.
Sometimes called cellular steel deck, are panels made up of a top panel also called the hat that is assembled in the factory with a flat steel sheet on the bottom or called the plate. The assembled panels consist of longitudinal cells or cavities intended for acoustical or utility purposes.
A metal deck sheet with a partial rib on one side that overlaps, onto the edge of the adjacent a metal deck sheet with a full rib. The lowest point in the deck profile is where the nesting usually occurs.
Two essentially identical steel deck panels are fastened together to form a single panel. One of the panels remains in its normal position and the other is inverted. Typically, these panels are factory assembled.
Floor or roof plans that identify proper placement and fastening of the steel deck and related accessories by the metal decking company. in a detailed manner to instruct .
A fold or bend in a steel deck panel that is fabricated which projects downward from a parallel plane to form a repetitive trench or wave and is made of one corrugation.
The overlapping of neighboring steel deck panel ends perpendicular to the fluting on the steel deck. The steel deck panels must have the same profile to be able to overlap. Some shapes of steel deck profiles are not able to overlap.
Steel deck with regularly spaced indentations or lugs on the surfaces of the deck profile for obtaining composite action between the metal sheet and the poured concrete.
A is a structural member usually consisting of at least two or more different materials that are joined together that result in a stronger system than each individual part.
Steel deck panels made up of a top panel also called the hat that is assembled in the factory with a flat steel sheet on the bottom or called the plate. The assembled panels consist of longitudinal cells or cavities intended for acoustical or utility purposes.
An accessory for steel deck that is used where metal decking and a wall intersect for the purpose of directing rain water away from the wall when used with other waterproofing materials.
Documents developed by the steel deck supplier, indicating their interpretation of the design documents for the purpose of fabricating and installing steel deck and accessories. See Submittal Drawings
