Features and Applications
Multideck 60-V2
Greater Design Efficiency
The original and still the most popular deck in the market is a
60mm high, structurally efficient trapezoidal profile providing an
excellent composite union between steel and concrete to
maximise the load carrying and spanning up to 4.5m (no props).
The efficient shape of the deck and resulting composite slab
make an excellent option for composite beam design.
The larger range of Multideck gauge thicknesses available

allow much closer matching of design requirements and deck
performance. Kingspan Multideck 60-V2 can be used with
Dramix Steel Fibre Reinforcement to eliminate mesh in slab
design.
Quicker Installation
Concrete Volume Savings

Due to its unique profile Multideck 60-V2 requires less concrete
than other decks to achieve any given slab thickness.
Multideck 60-V2 can save up to 10% concrete volume when
compared with alternative trapezoidal profiles and over 20%
concrete volume savings compared with typical re-entrant
profiles. See graph below.
Technical Support
The Multideck technical department provides a comprehensive
design and advisory service to specifiers and end users.
Further details are also available on the Kingspan Toolkit Software.

Material Specification - 350N/mm2 Steel
Reinforcement
Steel strip for Multideck 60-V2 complies with BS EN 10143

and BS EN 10147 with a guaranteed minimum yield strength
of 350N/mm2 and a minimum total coating mass (including
both sides) of 275g/m2.
Reinforcement of the slab to prevent cracking at all

intermediate supports is required in BS 5950: Part 4 1994.
Steel reinforcement for anti-crack or fire engineering purposes
in accordance with British Standards: Hot rolled bars BS
4449: 1997; Fabric reinforcement BS 4483: 1998. A
reinforced solution using Dramix Steel Fibres from Bekaert is
available see pages 18 & 19.
Concrete Volumes & Specification

Load/span tables are based on Grade 30 concrete, having a
design strength of 30N/mm2.
Embossments
Density of normal weight concrete: 2400kg/m3 at wet stage.
Raised diagonal embossments in opposite directions on each

face of the webs of the decking provide the mechanical
connection between the steel and the hardened concrete.
Density of lightweight concrete: 1900kg/m3 at wet stage.

All concrete used with Multideck in the construction of
composite slabs should comply with the recommendations in
BS 8110: 1997.

Load Tables (Notes)
When using load tables for Multideck 60-V2 please take
into consideration the following notes:
1 All tabulated figures include the self weight of the slab.
2 All tabulated figures include a construction allowance of
1.5kN/m2 and for spans less than 3m construction allowance
is 4.5/span.
3 The suggested maximum ratios of slab span to slab depth are
30 for LWC and 35 for NWC to control deflections. Deflection
under construction loading (wet concrete etc.) has been limited
to that stipulated in BS 5950: Part 4 1994.
4 Minimum reinforcement mesh sizes provide 0.1% of the gross
cross-sectional area of the concrete at the support.
5 The composite slabs should meet the requirements of
BS 5950: Part 4 1994 with regard to their composite
behaviour under normal imposed loads.
6 Total applied load referred to in the load tables is a working
load based on factored combinations of live loads, finishes,
ceilings, services and partitions, divided by a load factor of
1.60 (excluding slab self weight).

9 Propped loads assume props are equally spaced.
Definition of Span (Construction Stage)

When Using Kingspan Load Tables
10 Deck must lie flat on all support beams. Point only contact
will affect design loading.
11 Where figures in red appear this shows the maximum
permissible spans in situations where there is one stud per
trough.
Span
12 Span values are based on 100mm minimum support widths.

13 Construction stage spans are generally noted under the
4.0 kN/m2 loads and shaded. For confirmation of maximum
unpropped spans see page 55.
100mm
Minimum
Support widths greater than 100mm?

The span capacities shown on the following pages can be
increased by the difference between the actual support widths
and 100mm.
Example
Support widths 140mm and 200mm.
Span values can be increased by (140 + 200)/2 - 100 = 70mm.
MD60-V2 1.2mm double span deck (no props).
150mm thick slab- normal weight concrete.
Construction stage span from page 11,
4.0kN/m2 load column = 4000mm.
with support widths of 140 and 200 the increased span
capacity is 4000 + 70 = 4070mm.

1 The fire resistance tables for MD60-V2 following are based upon fire
test data from full scale tests performed at the Warrington Fire
Research Centre, April 1991.
2 All stated slab depths comply with the minimum fire insulation
criteria of BS 476: Part 20 1987.
3 The composite slab is assumed to be continuous over one or
more intermediate supports. i.e. minimum double span.
4 For 2 hour rated slabs the mesh noted within the End Span table
should be continuous over the first internal support, with the mesh
shown in the Internal Span table being applicable over the
second internal support and subsequent spans.
12 For loan/span conditions beyond the scope of these tables the

Fire Engineering Method as detailed in the SCI Publication 056
should be adopted or use Kingspan Toolkit Software.
Please contact our Technical Services Department for advice.
See following pages for MD 60-V2 Fire Resistance Tables.
13 Multideck 60-V2 can be used with Dramix Steel Fibre
Reinforcement as an alternative to conventional fire engineering
using steel mesh. (see pages 18-19)
14 Spans of 3.5m and over are based on 1.2mm deck only.
5 Minimum laps should be 300mm for A142 mesh and 400mm for
A193 and A252 mesh.
6 The mesh should be placed between 20 & 40mm from the upper
surface of the slab. (This range caters for lap areas.)
7 The tables are based upon Grade 30 concrete, reinforcement
having a yield strength of 460N/mm2.
8 The tables must be read in conjunction with load/span tables
for Multideck 60-V2 to verify the structural integrity of the
composite slab.
9 The values in all the tables are relevant to unpropped construction.
For propped and single span conditions use the Kingspan Toolkit
Software or contact Kingspan Technical Services.
10 The tables take into account the reduced partial factor of 0.8 as
permitted in BS 5950: Part 8 for non-permanent imposed loads.
The tables are presented in terms of total specified imposed load
(non-permanent and permanent). It is assumed that the
permanent imposed loads for partitions, finishes, ceilings and
services are equivalent to 1.7kN/m2 in all cases. The tables are
therefore appropriate for office type applications.
For other applications where the imposed loads are almost
entirely permanent the total load should be adjusted
accordingly before reading from the tables,
eg:
150mm normal weight concrete plantroom slab and A142 mesh
7.5kN/m2 live load
1.2kN/m2 50mm screed finish 0.5kn/m2 ceilings and services
1 hour fire rating
Multideck 60-V2 profile
Total applied load = 1.2 + 0.5 + 7.5/0.8 = 11.075kN/m2
From table overleaf maximum span = 3.03m.
11 The * denotes that the mesh provided, although satisfying the
fire resistance requirement, does not comply with the minimum
anti-crack reinforcement requirement of BS 5950: Part 4.
Refer to standard load/span tables for minimum mesh requirements.

Composite Slab
No Mesh Construction
Dramix Steel Fibre Concrete, has been used world wide in groundworks, for many years. Following
extensive test work and analysis by The Steel Construction Institute it is now available for multi-storey
applications. Dramix steel fibres with Multideck 60-V2 have been proven by testing to achieve full fire
performance for 1 - 1.5 hours (see page 20 - 21).
The use of a Dramix Steel Fibre reinforced Concrete slab provides a pre-reinforced concrete slab
- no mesh has to be installed.
Construction Advantages
Pre-Reinforced Concrete

Multideck 60-V2
Dramix Fibres
Dramix fibres are made from prime quality hard-drawn steelwire to ensure high tensile strength and close tolerances.
Dramix fibres are added to the concrete during mixing.
The gluing of the fibres into bundles guarantees quick
and easy mixing with perfectly homogeneous distribution.
The hooked ends slowly deforms during pull-out and is
generally considered as the best form of anchorage.
Dramix steel fibres are manufactured in accordance
with the ISO 9001 quality specifications.
Shear Strength
The shear resistance of Dramix concrete reinforced with
30kg/m3 RC-65/60-BN exceeds that of mesh reinforced
concrete. This means that codified checks for longitudinal
shear can be adopted and will not penalise fibre reinforced
slabs. For 30kg/m3 the area of fibres crossing a shear plane
may be taken as 0.37% of the concrete area.
2.3. Automatic dosing
Shear Stud Resistance
Fibres can be dosed from bulk at rates up to

3.5 kg/sec with a specially developed dosing equipment.
The following reduction factors have to be applied to the

resistance of shear studs used in concrete with 30 kg/m3
Dramix RC-65/60-BN:

Recommendations When Mixing

1. General
preferably use a central batching plant mixer.
a continuous grading is preferred.
mix until all glued fibres are separated into individual fibres.
Fibres dont increase mixing time significantly.
if special cements or admixtures are used, a preliminary
test is recommended.
Technical Support
Technical support in the development of the Dramix
composite floor load-span tables was provided by the SCI.
Fire Test Report
2. Fibre Addition
2.1. In batching plant mixer.
never add fibres as first component in the mixer.
fibres can be introduced together with sand and
aggregates, or can be added in freshly mixed concrete.
only for drummixer: unopened degradable bags can be
thrown directly in the mixer.
Fire resistance test in accordance with BS476-Part 21 - 1987

Clause 7 on a load bearing Dramix composite floor and
Kingspan Multideck 60-V2.
(24 page document is available
on request from Bekaert).
2.2. Truckmixer
add Dramix as the final component into the back of the
mixer truck.
run mixer at drum speed: 12-18 rpm.
adjust slump to a min. of 12 cm (preferably with water
reducing agents or high water reducing agents).
add fibres with maximum speed of 40 kg/min.
optional equipment: belt-hoist elevator .
after adding the fibres, continue mixing at highest speed for
4-5 min.

Multideck 80-V2
Multideck 80-V2
Multideck 80-V2 is designed to incorporate all the advantages
of the Multideck 60-V2 but in a deeper profile to provide longer
spans up to 5.4m unpropped.
Concrete Volume Savings

Due to its unique profile Multideck 80-V2 requires less
concrete than other decks to achieve any given slab
thickness.
The Multideck range has a wider standard cover width
requiring fewer panels and sidelaps. No temporary
supports required under most conditions. A wide range of
accessories allows for easy installation of ceilings and
services.
Value for Money

Bulk steel buying by Kingspan ensures a quality product
at the right price.
Technical Support
The Multideck technical department provides a
comprehensive design and advisory service to specifiers
and end users. Further details are also available on the
Kingspan Toolkit Software.

Embossments

Raised diagonal embossments in opposite directions on each

face of the webs of the decking provide the mechanical
connection between the steel and the hardened concrete.

All concrete used with Multideck in the construction of

composite slabs should comply with the recommendations in
BS 8110: 1997.

Fire Performance
1 The fire resistance tables for Multideck 80-V2 following are based
upon fire test data from full scale tests performed at the Warrington
Fire Research Centre, April 1991.
4 The fire resistance load tables are for continuous spans only with
no propping. For 2 hour fire rating or propped and single span
conditions use the Kingspan Toolkit Software or contact
Kingspan Technical Services.
A193 and A252 mesh.
8 The tables must be read in conjunction with load/span tables for
Multideck 80-V2 to verify the structural integrity of the composite
slab.
eg:
7.5kN/m2 live load
1 hour fire rating
From table opposite maximum span = 3.16m.
12 For load span conditions beyond the scope of these tables the
Kingspan Toolkit Software should be used which includes the
Fire Engineering Method as detailed in the SCI Publication 056.
See following pages for Multideck 80-V2 Fire Resistance Tables.

no propping. For propped and single span conditions use the
Kingspan Toolkit Software or contact Kingspan Technical Services.
A193 and A252 mesh.
8 The tables must be read in conjunction with load/span tables for
Multideck 50-V2 to verify the structural integrity of the composite
slab.
eg:
7.5kN/m2 live load
1 hour fire rating
From table overleaf maximum span = 3.60m.
12 For loan/span conditions beyond the scope of these tables the
Fire Engineering Method as detailed in the SCI Publication 056
should be adopted or use Kingspan Toolkit Software.
Please contact our Technical Services Department for advice.
See following pages for Multideck 50-V2 Fire Resistance Tables.

Site Handling
Transport and Site Access
Deck Identification
Delivery vehicles are up to 12m long with a maximum gross

weight of 30 tonnes and a turning circle of 16m. They require an
access road at least 4m wide and 12m of good hard standing to
allow for crane-operated unloading. Standard loads will not
exceed 20 tonnes
All Multideck bundles are marked to correspond with the detail

and general arrangement drawings. Identification includes floor
location, grid location, deck length, gauge and direction of lay.
Where possible, bundles should be lifted from the transport
and placed on the support frame ready for fixing.
See pages 48 & 49.
Unloading
Unloading of vehicles on-site is the responsibility of others.
Quality Control On-site
Fork Lift Trucks

Sheets of Multideck up to 7m long can be off loaded by fork
lift trucks. Sheets longer than 7m should be lifted by crane.
Multideck should be placed directly onto the supporting
steelwork. If this is impractical, it should be stored as
recommended under Storage.
Quality control on site should be based on the

recommendations of BS 8000: Part 2 Concrete Work.
Storage
Multideck should be stored under cover or beneath waterproof
tarpaulins, off the ground on suitable timber framing with good
air circulation around the sheet. The sheets should slope to
drain away any rain water which may enter the storage area.
When exposed to moisture, galvanised deck will develop a
coating of zinc oxide. If left, this may reduce the degree of
protection, so it is important to inspect regularly for moisture,
and take immediate remedial action.
Handling
When deck has to be lifted onto the building framework, care
must be taken to avoid damage by using suitable lifting
equipment. Use of unprotected chains will cause damage and
are not recommended. Sheet corners must be protected as
these are particularly vulnerable to damage.
Never walk on deck in the stack or before it is securely fixed in
position (see also Safety).
Multideck sheets must not be dragged from the stack.
Remove by lifting off one at a time.
Safety
Important
We recommend that all Multideck profiles are installed with
safety nets in place.
Handling Hazards
Multideck may have a residual protective coating when
delivered and should be handled with care. See BSC HS Data
Sheet 18.
Eye Hazards
Care should be taken when breaking the strapping around
bundles. Eye protectors conforming to the latest British
Standard should always be worn.
Protective Clothing
To prevent laceration of skin, contamination by oil and risks to
eyes and hands, protective overalls, gloves and eye protection
should be worn at all times.

Primary Fixings
The supporting structure should be inspected prior to
installation of Multideck to ensure that it is sound and suitable
for the fixing of the Multideck product and in accordance with
the detail drawings.
Where decking is supported by concrete beams, gas fired

fixings may still be employed, see manufacturers literature for
guidance.
For fixing to other base materials and for further information
contact the fixing manufacturer.
All primary fixings should be made through the trough in the

profile. Primary fixings must always be made at the same
location and centres as on the fire test specimens if regulation
approval has been given on that basis.
Hilti Fixings
Tel: 0800 886100 Fax: 0800 886200
There are a number of fixing methods which may be employed

for securing the decking to the supporting structure but, in
general, shot-fired pins are both fast and economical. The
number of main fixings required at butt joint and intermediate
positions is a minimum of two per panel.
No on-site gas fired pin fixings should be made before a test

has been carried out to prove that the fixing system is
operable.
All Multideck sheets must be laid and securely fixed to the
support structure to avoid excessive deflection or
dislodgement during pouring of the concrete.
For the initial fix to steelwork where shear studs are to be

utilised Kingspan would suggest the HILTI X-EGN14MX pin or
similar, in order to provide a safe working platform.
MD60-V2/80-V2
Every sheet must have one fixing in every trough at the panel
ends and one fixing in lap joints at intermediate support.
If the decking is to provide lateral restraint to the steel

beams, and in the absence of through-deck welded
shear studs, the fixing type should be checked for
suitability. For restraint to composite beams refer
to BS 5950: Part 3: Section 3.1: Appendix A.2.3.
MD50-V2
Every sheet must have two fixings at the panel ends and at
intermediate supports.
Side Lap Fixings

MD60-V2/80-V2
Fixings at mid span are required.
For spans exceeding 3m additional fixings at 1.5m maximum
spacing are recommended.
Teks 4.8mm diameter by 20mm long self drill, self tap screws
are recommended.

Shear Studs
f. The concrete cover over the stud should not be less than
15mm.
If the cover is required to protect the connector against
corrosion it should not be less than 20mm.
Through Deck Stud Welding

The studs quoted are 19mm diameter headed shear studs of
varying lengths for through deck welding, of low carbon steel
with a minimum yield point of 350N/mm2 and an ultimate
tensile strength of 450N/mm2 minimum.
g. The studs after welding should extend not less than 35mm
above the top flange of the steel deck i.e.
Multideck 60-V2 use standard stud length 95mm L.A.W.,
Multideck 80-V2 use standard stud length 120mm L.A.W.,
Multideck 50-V2 use standard stud length 95mm L.A.W.
The following data is intended to be used only as a guide. Final

design criteria is the responsibility of the design agency and/or
a qualified design engineer.
a. The flange plate thickness of the underlying beam should
not be less than 7.6mm (0.4 times the stud diameter).
h. The top flanges of the beam must be unpainted if studs are

to be used.
b. The spacing of the studs should not be less than:
i. Welding equipment should be of NELSON manufacture or

similar with a minimum of 200 KVA diesel generator, or
mains power at 415V 3-phase fused at 100A per phase.
(i) in the direction of the shear force = 95mm.

(ii) transverse to the direction of shear force = 76mm.
c. The longitudinal spacing of the studs should not exceed the
lesser of 600mm or 4 times the slab depth.
j. Where studs are required for composite beam action

strength reduction factors should be calculated to
BS 5950: Part 3: Section 3.1.
d. Where studs are required to be through-deck welded

across the line of span of the decking, they must be
spaced to suit the configuration of the deck profile.
N.B. The flange of the supporting beam must be of a sufficient

width where shear studs are provided in pairs.

Forming Holes
2. Holes up to 300mm square will not require additional
reinforcement or trimming beams.
Formation of Holes in Multideck Floor Slabs

The following empirical rules are based on recommendations
as given in the Concrete Society report on standard details
and the Steel Construction Institute publication Good Practice
in Composite Floor Construction.
Structural Limitations
a. One T 20 bar in each trough either side of the hole (or multiple
smaller bars giving equivalent area).
Where the slab is supporting uniformly distributed loads the

following rules may be applied. If concentrated or line loads
exist adjacent to holes a special analysis may be required.
b. One T 20 bar across each end of the hole on the deck

transverse to the slab span (or multiple smaller bars giving
equivalent area).
Timber shutter
Dense polystyrene blocks
Holes should be formed after the slab is cast, shutters being

used to make a void in the concrete.
1. No hole should be closer than its width to an unsupported
edge.
c. Two additional high yield bars of the same diameter as the

mesh parallel to each edge of the hole at mesh level.
All reinforcing bars should extend an anchorage length
beyond the edges of the hole.
2. The maximum width of hole measured transversely to the

span of the slab should not be greater than 700mm without
additional trimming support beams.
4. Holes over 500mm square up to 700mm square will require

the following additional reinforcement trimming if support
beams are not provided.
3. In any 4m width of slab measured transversely to the span

of the slab, not more than 1/4 of the slab width should be
removed by all holes in the span under consideration. For
slabs less than 4m wide the permissible width of holes
should be reduced proportionately.
a. One T 25 bar in each trough either side of the hole

(or multiple smaller bars giving the equivalent area).
b. One T 25 bar across each end of the hole on the deck
transverse to the span (or multiple smaller bars giving
equivalent area).
4. The length of hole measured parallel to the slab span

should not be greater than 1/4 of the span without
provision of trimming support beams.
c. Where the slab thickness is less than 200mm, provide one

T 25 bar diagonally across each corner of the opening
between the bottom transverse bars and the mesh (or
multiple smaller bars giving equivalent area).
5. When the distance between holes is less than 1 1/2 times

the width of the largest opening, the group of holes should
be considered as a single hole with an effective length of
width taken as the perimeter of the group.
d. Where the slab thickness is greater than or equal to

200mm provide one T 25 bar diagonally across each
corner of the opening both immediately above the bottom
transverse bars and also under the top mesh (or multiple
smaller bars giving equivalent area).
The following information is for guidance only. The design

and detailing of additional trimming reinforcement around
voids is the responsibility of the engineer.
e. Three additional high yield bars of the same diameter as the

mesh across each edge of the hole at mesh level.
1. Holes not trimmed by supporting beams should be boxed
out with the formwork prior to concreting and the hole in
the deck should not be cut until the concrete has achieved
at least 75% of its design strength.
5. Holes over 700mm square will require trimming support

beams around the opening.
53
Sitework
3. Holes over 300mm square up to 500mm square will require the

following additional reinforcement if trimming support beams
are not provided.
Temporary Supports
Do I Need to Prop?
Decking is usually designed to be unpropped. For longer
spans temporary propping may be required. There may be
small areas in a building where propping is necessary, even
when the main areas of the floor remain unpropped. These
propped areas may include bays that are in-filled after the
removal of climbing cranes, or lifts shafts which have nonstandard span lengths. On large spans it may be necessary to
install the props prior to laying the deck. The decking layout
drawings should show the extent and lines of temporary
supports.
Normally, props are placed at either mid-span (one line of
props) or at third points (2 lines of props) within a span. The
decking sheets should never be interrupted (cut) at the
location of a temporary support, and the decking should not
be fastened to the temporary supports.
Props normally consist of lengths of timber and/or steel plates
supported by adjustable length steel tubes (Acrows). The
minimum bearing length of the timber and/or plates depends
upon the thickness of the slab, the span length and the deck
rib geometry. Bearing lengths are typically in the 75 to 100mm
range. The timber bearer should be continuous, and should
extend the full width of the bay.
A typical temporary support is shown in the detail below.
Props of this nature are normally placed about 1.0m apart,
according to the designers requirements.
Note:
We recommend that temporary supports are
braced in both directions for safety.
54
Temporary Supports
Use the tables below to determine if props are required for a
given condition. If the span shown in the table is greater than
the actual span on site, no temporary supports are needed. If
the span shown in the table is less than your actual span,
temporary supports are required.
