News to me, I didn't know that one could load metal deck in this fashion! ? :-?
The problem is that the there's three types of decks, is this metal deck rated for this? There's "B" (biggest) bottom flute,
"B" Corregated,(for concrete pouring- Indented metal deck) ((sometimes refered to "C" or composite deck)) an
d an "F" Deck with a smaller lower flute.
Most metal Roof deck is 20 and 22 Ga.
Poured concrete on average is 18 Ga. knuckled.
Is there anyway to determine that this deck is ok to be used in this application and not another? Note the Bottom of the Table says "
Check with deck manufacturer for recommended load capacity". They are going to love hearing from you...
You dealing with another world of Approved which is usually done by Factory Mutual. They have a Live Load and a Dead Load rating and per each type of deck and gauge which generate there own properties, per the span spacing between points.
Good Luck with your Request for this application (RFA) ...
