You might think that steel deck is a simple product that requires little thought when specifying it for a project. You would be wrong! Some of the decisions can be made easily by looking at a load table from a deck manufacturer. But gravity load might not be your only worry. How about attachment to the supports? What are the best practices for designing for strength and serviceability? What finish or coating is appropriate for this particular deck application? Fire rated assemblies might also be a consideration. This session will dive into these questions and more.
 Learning Objectives:
  • Identify resources that are available to help specify steel deck.
  • Understand design considerations for selecting steel deck profile.
  • List proper expectations of steel deck finish performance and appearance.
  • Describe what to avoid when specifying steel deck.
