Concrete volume figures in the span/load tables that follow are based on constant slab
thickness. To take account of deflection of the decking profile it is recommended that
the volume of concrete will equate to: Overall slab depth -8mm for voids + span/250.
An additional allowance may also be required to allow for deflections within the
supporting structure (refer to Building Design Engineer).

In pages 8-17 The performance of each product is given in terms of span/load and fire design tables.
10. Loads shown are unfactored working loads and should include all imposed live
and dead loads, excluding only the self-weight of the slab.
11. An ultimate load factor of 1.0 is assumed throughout.
12. - indicates that the area of mesh is less than the minimum for crack control
recommended in BS EN 1994-1-1 cl.9.8.1(2)
13. Mesh should satisfy the minimum elongation requirement given in
BS4449: 2005.
14. For conditions outside the scope of the tables, including all isolated spans,
consult Deckspan software.
15. Tables are only based on the thinnest gauge of decking available in the Holorib
& Ribdeck E60 range. Improved performance with thicker gauges may be
checked using Deckspan software.
16. The figures in brackets shown thus (**) indicates the rebar diameter required
for the noted fire resistance one bar per trough.
17. Tables are based on concrete class C30/37 for Normal weight or LC30/33 for
Lightweight, as applicable.
18. The spans shown in the Holorib & Ribdeck E60 fire design tables are limited
for safety reasons to the maximum allowable for whichever is the lesser of
the construction or composite performance for a 0.9mm gauge profile. The
Deckspan software should be used to determine the minimum mesh required
for the actual design criteria.

What is it?
Resotec is a thin constrained layer damping membrane that
sits between the soffit of the steel decking and parts of the top
flange of the steel beams. In these zones there is no mechanical
connection between the floor and the supporting structure,
allowing the two to move independently under the influence of
vibration induced excitation.
Composite beams
Design assistance

Location:
30 St Mary Axe, London,
England, United Kingdom
Status: Complete
Completion Date: 2004
Height: 180 metres
Floor Area:
70,000 square metres
Architect: Foster + Partners
Steel Contractor:
Victor Buyck Hollandia JV
Deck Profile: Ribdeck 80
Widely known throughout the world by
the nickname The Gherkin, 30 St Mary
Axe stands at 180 metres tall, making it on
completion the second tallest building in the
City of London and the sixth tallest in the
Greater London region.
Thanks to the efficiency of its
environmentally-conscious design, The
Gherkin uses half the power that a similar
tower would typically consume, whilst the
unique triangulated perimeter structure
makes this tall building sufficiently stiff
to control wind-excited sways without
requiring any additional cross-bracing.
The specification of Ribdeck 80 for this
project was an integral factor in achieving
the ambitious design of this unique building,
with its radial steel beam arrangement
requiring a decking profile that could span
up to 4.75m without any requirement for
additional framing or temporary support.

Based on the redeveloped Cultural Quarter in Leicester City Centre, the Curve Theatre opened
in Autumn 2008 and is one of the main flagship projects in the regeneration of the city.
This ambitious and innovative design has complete architectural transparency, with the
weight of the structure suspended from the roof of the building. The long spanning capacity
of Ribdeck 80 allowed the number of steel members in the structure to be kept to a
minimum, emphasising the light and airy form of the structure.

GOODPRACTICE: These guidance notes have been developed by RLD during our many years in the Steel Decking Industry. Whilst
every effort has been made to ensure that they are comprehensive, we would refer you to the BCSA publication No 37/04 BCSA
Code of Practice for Metal Decking and Stud Welding for further guidance. These notes should also be read in conjunction with
the prevailing national design guidance and health and safety legislation.
Design
General
Construction Loading
The slab strength will generally have been specified by the Project
Structural Design Engineer on the basis of support of long-term
loads consistent with the buildings intended use. In the temporary
condition, construction loads from plant used for erecting steelwork
or from materials stored for following trades may constitute a more
onerous design condition and should be referred back to the Project
Structural Design Engineer for assessment.
Permanent Loading
The self weight of the slab has been taken into account in the design
process and need not be included in the imposed loads indicated
in the span/load tables. The Project Structural Design Engineer
should sum all predominantly uniform applied live, partition, finishes
28
www.richardlees.co.uk
and loads when reading from these tables. Any walls other than
lightweight partitions should be considered separately as either line
or concentrated loads, and specific calculations should be made to
check the adequacy of the selected slab to support them.
Reinforcement
In all circumstances appropriate crack control and distribution
reinforcement should be provided within the slab and this can be in
the form of a wire-welded mesh or, in certain situations, as macro
fibres. This reinforcement may also be sufficient to provide the
necessary fire resistance for the slab and this can be checked by
reference to the RLD tables for the Fire Design Methods, available
in literature on the RLD website. Where the design criteria are
not covered by the tables, then reinforcing bars, positioned in
the decking troughs, will be required, the exact quantity being
determined using RLDs Deckspan software.
Decking can only contribute to the transverse shear reinforcement
for the distribution of longitudinal shear forces in composite beams
when it is spanning perpendicular to the beam. In addition it should
either be continuous across the beam, or the beam flange be wide
enough to allow effective anchorage of the deck using shear studs
welded in a staggered pattern. Additional reinforcement may also
be required to comply with building or other regulations and it is the
customers responsibility to ensure that the necessary design checks
and approvals have been granted.
Deflection
Decking will deflect under the weight of wet concrete as it is placed.
The design process takes account of this deflection and limits it in
accordance with the relevant code of practice. The additional weight
of concrete due to this deflection is factored into this and
all subsequent calculations. No account is taken in RLDs tables
or software for any deflection of the supporting steel frame. Those
responsible for the placement of the concrete should be made aware
of all expected deflections when assessing concrete volumes and
finishing techniques.

Temporary support
Temporary support may sometimes be necessary to sustain the
dead weight of wet concrete and any other construction loads.
General guidance is provided by RLD in the form of span/load tables
and Deckspan software and, where provided, on project specific
installation layout drawings and design calculations. The Project
Structural Design Engineer may also specify temporary propping in
situations where tighter control on deflections is deemed necessary.
The design and safe installation of temporary supports, including
any bracing necessary, is the responsibility of the Project Structural
Design Engineer. There should be continuous sole and header plates
across the full width of every propped bay and the system should
be installed so as to ensure zero deflection of the deck at propped
points prior to concrete placement. The header plate should offer a
wide area of support so as not to locally compromise the structural
integrity or the appearance of the decking. Except where specifically
advised by RLDs Technical Department, all temporary props to
unsupported slab edges are to be fully in place prior to installation of
the edge trim or decking. The same condition also applies to internal
props meeting the conditions set out in Table 1.

Transverse Reinforcement
The concrete flange of a composite beam is subjected to splitting
forces and these may be resisted in part by contributions from the
concrete, decking, top mesh and any additional steel bars crossing
the beam perpendicular to the span direction. Any contribution
from the decking should only be considered where the decking
spans onto the beam and is either continuous across or is securely
anchored to it with through deck welded shear studs. The decking
contribution should be ignored where it spans parallel to the
composite beam being considered. Any shortfall in transverse shear
resistance is normally compensated for by the design and inclusion
of additional reinforcement bars.

Durability
Decking is produced from galvanised steel strip to BS EN 10346
with a standard Z275 coating. When used in a dry and unpolluted
environment, such as is the case in the majority of offices,
warehouses, hospitals, and schools etc, a design life to first
maintenance of 20 - 50 years can be expected. Recent documented
research would suggest that the predicted performance is likely to
approach the higher end of this range.

Shear Studs
Shear studs are manufactured from low carbon steel with minimum
values of yield point of 350 N/mm2, ultimate tensile strength
450 N/mm2, and elongation 15%. The studs should be headed and
for through deck welding they should be specified with a shank
diameter of 19mm. Studs should protrude a minimum of 35mm
above the shoulder of the decking profile and the covering of
concrete over the head of the stud should be a minimum of 15mm.
The shear capacity of headed studs embedded in solid concrete is
calculated in accordance with BS EN 1994-1-1 cl. 6.6. In composite
slabs the studs may be affected by the proximity of the webs of the
steel decking sheet and their capacity may be reduced. Refer to
BS EN 1994-1-1 cl. 6.6 for reduction factor formulae.

Health and Safety
Decking is manufactured to ISO 9001 from high yield steel coated with
zinc and may be covered with a soluble protective lubricant which does
not adversely affect performance. The sheets will have sharp edges
and corners. COSHH data sheets are available for all hazards/activities
associated with the handling and fixing of RLD decking.
Fall Arrest
It is recommended that appropriate fall arrest systems are used.
Generally safety netting is advised for steel-framed structures; air
bags or similar for other structures. Details of the appropriate fall
arrest system, together with a risk assessment covering the safety
system installation method, should be included in the detailed
installation method statement prepared by the decking installer prior to
commencement of work.

Cartridge Nails
The nails are suitable for fastening decking and edge trim to
structural steelwork up to 630 Rm N/mm2 and a minimum thickness
of 6mm. Technical advice on the use of these tools can be obtained
from Hilti Technical Advisory Service, Manchester (Freephone 0800

Cartridge Tools
Hilti cartridge tools are commonly
used to install X-ENP-19-L15 and
X-DAK 16 nails. No external power
source is required. These tools
should be used only by suitablytrained personnel in accordance
with manufacturers instructions.
When detailing steelwork for the
support of metal decking sheets,
consideration should be given to
the physical dimensions of the
cartridge tool, which must be held
perpendicular to the fixing surface
and will experience a re-coil effect
on firing.
WARNING: Steel decking is a structural element of the construction and should always be installed by a competent contractor to avoid
adverse effects on following trades. As a minimum requirement, valid CSCS cards for steel decking and/ or stud welding should be held by
all workers involved in the installation of these products.
31
Decking should be cut on site to fit into the webs of columns that
penetrate the floor plate. Where there are no beams available as
supports, and where column penetrations exceed 250mm in width,
the steel frame supplier should provide additional support (such as
welded on angle brackets) in the web of the column.

The shelf angles are structural supports and the Project Structural
Design Engineer should ensure that they are fit for purpose. In
addition it is important that the angles project a minimum of 50 mm
beyond the top flange of the steel beam to enable a cartridge tool or
similar to be used to secure the decking to the supporting structure.
32
www.richardlees.co.uk
Shear Studs
Shear studs are normally welded through the decking to the top
flange of the steel beam. To avoid burn through of the beam flange
the studs should be welded directly above the web (on the beam
centreline) or the flange should have a minimum thickness of 0.4
times the shank diameter (0.4 d = 7.6mm generally). It is preferable
to limit the number of studs to a maximum of 2 per trough, wherever
possible. As the number of studs increases beyond this limit, the
decking becomes more susceptible to localised heat warping and
weld splatter can interfere with subsequent welds.
An alternative to welded shear studs is the Hilti X-HVB shear
connector. These connectors are L shaped galvanised steel
sections that are secured to the steel beam flange using the Hilti
DX 76 powder actuated tool. The mechanical properties of the HVB
connectors are different to those of welded studs and a substitution
should not be made without the consent of the Project Structural
Design Engineer.
A greater number of X-HVB connectors are needed to provide the
same degree of shear connection as when using welded studs, and
particular attention should be paid to the space available for placing
these within the confines of a steel decking profile. Guidance and
Assistance on the application of the HVB system is available from
Hilti (tel: 0800 886100).

Where access for the welding rig to within 7.5m of the frame is
restricted, a steel section may be welded to the frame and extended
to a position from which the 7.5m access rule may be applied.
This steel section should, as a minimum, be a steel plate measuring
100 x 10mm. In situations where access for the mobile rig is
restricted and mains power is not available, a static generator can
be provided. This 200 KVA generator is housed in a unit measuring
3m long, 2m wide and 2m high and with a gross weight of 5 tonnes.
This unit will emit diesel fumes when in operation and should
be positioned on the structure in a well-ventilated area which is
verified as suitable for this purpose by the Project Structural Design
Engineer. Consideration should also be given to the method of safely
re-fuelling the unit and to the safe storage of fuel in a bunded diesel
bowser on the site.

Construction Joints
Continuous concrete pours in excess of 1,000m2 can be achieved
on composite floor slabs. If the limits of the pour do not coincide
with permanent slab edges, a construction joint should be formed.
The construction joint should wherever possible be positioned
over permanent supports at the ends of decking panels, not over
intermediate supports which would result in only one span of a
multiple span sheet receiving concrete.
Where it is not possible to have the construction joint at a sheet end,
it should be positioned such that no more than 1/3 of the final span
is left unconcreted.

Soffit Fixings
The wedges are designed to act as vertical anchors only and should
not be used as nuts. To avoid local overloading of the floor slab
the wedges should not be closely grouped, a nominal 600 mm
grid being recommended as a minimum. Design advice for closer
groupings should be obtained from the Project Structural Design
Engineer or from RLD Technical Department. Dynamic loads should
NOT be supported by wedge fixings. Proprietary anchors can be
embedded in the slab and used as directed by the manufacturer and
where approved by the Project Structural Design Engineer.

Installation Procedure:
1) Ensure that the correct wedge is selected.
2) Thread wedge onto the required bolt or rod.
3) Insert wedge in to dovetail rib from below and rotate
through 90o so that the sloped faces of the wedge bear on
the decking ribs.
4) The bolt or rod should then be finger tightened up to the
roof of the dovetail or to a washer set against the soffit of
the decking.
5) Use mechanical tightening to finish.
