Notes:
1 Important concrete volumes do not take into account deflection.
2 Excludes weight of steel decking and relates only to weight of concrete.
3 Concrete volumes are based upon a calculated minimum value
(nominal slab depth). Account should be taken of deck and
supporting structure deflections.

Multideck 50

Multideck 50-V2
Load Tables
When using load tables for Multideck 50-V2 please take into
consideration the following notes:
1 The table shows the maximum span in meters of the
Multideck product for the applied loads and slab depths
shown. Values are shown for each gauge where the deck
is single span or double spans, plus values for propped
spans during construction.

12 Deflection under construction loading (wet concrete etc)


has been limited to that stipulated in BS5950 Part 4 1994.
At the composite stage the suggested maximum ratio of
slab span to slab depth are 35 for NWC and 30 for LWC
to control deflection.

2 Construction stage span capacity are generally noted under


the 4kN/m2 load and are shaded. For confirmation of
maximum un-propped spans see page 95.

13 For the propped during construction cases the temporary


supports should remain in place until the concrete has
achieved 75% of it 28 day cube strength often available
after 7 days.

3 The span values are based on the use of a minimum


100mm bearing support. Where the bearing exceeds
100mm the span capacity can be increased.
See example below.

14 Where more than one prop is provided they should be


equally spaced across the span of the Multideck.

4 Deck must lie flat on all supports beams. Point only contact
will affect the design loading.
5 The self weight of the slab has been taken in to account in
the table and should not be included in the applied loading.
6 All tabulated span capacities include applied construction
stage load of 1.5kN/m2 for spans of 3.0m or larger.
For spans less than 3.0m the construction load is
4.5/span(m) kN/m2.
7 The composite slab should meet the requirements of
BS5950 Part 4 1994 with regard to their composite
behaviour under normal loading.
8 The concrete grade is a minimum of C25/30 with a
minimum ultimate strength is of 30N/mm2.

the concrete i.e. where a brittle finishes is applied


to the slab.

c) There are moving loads.


Mesh reinforcement should be placed near the upper edge
of the concrete slab in a zone of 15mm to 40mm from the
top surface. Concrete cover to reinforcement should be
increased where slab exposure dictates.
10 Where in the table the span value is shown in red this
shows the maximum permissible span where there is a
minimum of one stud per trough
11 Total applied load referred to in the table is a working load
derived from the sum of the loads supported by the
composite slab (live load, finishes, ceilings, services,
partitions). Loads shown are based on Ultimate
capacity / 1.6. The slab self weight has already been
taken in to account do not include in applied loads.

Support widths greater than 100mm?


The span capacities shown on the following pages can be
increased by the difference between the actual support widths

The deck span (m) used in the table is based on the
(support c/c support bearing) + the deck depth.
All values in metres.
Example

Multideck 50

Multideck 50-V2
Fire Performance Mesh
5 Minimum laps should be
300mm for A142 mesh and 400mm
for A193 and A252 mesh.

1 The fire resistance tables for Multideck 50-V2 on the


following pages are based upon fire test data from full scale
tests performed at the Warrington Fire Research Centre
UK, May 1998.

6 The mesh should be placed between 15 and 40mm from the


upper surface of the slab (this range caters for lap areas).

2 All stated slab depths comply with the minimum fire


insulation criteria of BS 476: Part 20 1987.

7 The tables are based upon Grade 30 concrete,


reinforcement having a yield strength of 460N/mm2.

3 The composite slab is assumed to be continuous over one


or more intermediate supports. i.e. minimum double span.

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.

4 The fire resistance load tables are for continuous spans


only with no propping. For propped and single span
conditions use the Kingspan Toolkit Software or contact
Kingspan Technical Services.

9 The values in all the tables are relevant to unpropped


construction.
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.

Multideck 50-V2 profile


Total applied load = 1.2 + 0.5 + 7.5/0.8 = 11.075kN/m2.
From table overleaf maximum span = 3.60m.
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.
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.
13 These tables apply to all gauges 0.9mm and above.

Note:
For load / span conditions beyond the scope of these tables, the Kingspan Multideck design software should be used to check for a solution.
Toolkit Design Software provides an accurate and detailed analysis and Kingspan encourages its use for all design checks.

Multideck 50-V2
Sound Attenuation
Kingspan Structural Products have undertaken extensive
testing on the acoustic performance of the Multideck range of
composite steel deck slabs
The testing was carried out on behalf of Kingspan Structural
Products by the Steel Construction Institute and resulted in a
comprehensive report Acoustic Performance of Kingspan
Composite Floors copies of which can be obtained from
Kingspan Structural Products technical Department.

Note:
The tables are based on a minimum concrete density of 2350kgs/m3 and can be used with mesh or
Dramix reinforcement. Lightweight concrete may lead to a reduction in acoustic performance of
about 2 to 3 dB on the values shown above.
Values of DnT,w and Lnw are available from Kingspan Structural Technical Department.
The junction details between the walls and floors must be appropriately detailed to ensure that
flanking sound is minimised .
The values in the table are based on the new (since 2003) measurement index DnT,w+Ctr for
airborne sound. The Ctr term is a spectrum adaptation value which is generally negative and
adjusts the index to take account of low frequency sounds that often cause problems in residential
buildings. Thus the DnT,w +Ctr rating is lower than the DnT,w rating for the same construction.

Multideck 50

Multideck 60-V2
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.
Key benefits include:

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 20% concrete
volume compared with typical re-entrant profiles.
See graph below.

Greater Design Efficiency


The larger range of Multideck gauge thicknesses 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
The Multideck range has a 1m cover width requiring fewer
panels and sidelaps. No temporary supports are required
under most conditions. A wide range of accessories allows
for easy installation of ceilings and services.

Technical Support
Kingspan Toolkit software includes comprehensive
composite floor design software which allows the user to
easily select the right Multideck solution. The design
software is available for download from the web site
www.kingspanstructural.com.
The Multideck design department provides a
comprehensive engineering and advisory service to
specifiers and end users on the use of the Multideck range
of composite decks.

When using load tables for Multideck 60-V2 please take into
consideration the following notes:
1 The table shows the maximum span in meters of the
Multideck product for the applied loads and slab depths
shown. Values are shown for each gauge where the deck
is single span or double spans, plus values for propped
spans during construction.

12 Deflection under construction loading (wet concrete etc)


has been limited to that stipulated in BS5950 Part 4 1994.
At the composite stage the suggested maximum ratio of
slab span to slab depth are 35 for NWC and 30 for LWC
to control deflection.

2 Construction stage span capacity are generally noted under


the 4kN/m2 load and are shaded. For confirmation of
maximum un-propped spans see page 95.

13 For the propped during construction cases the temporary


supports should remain in place until the concrete has
achieved 75% of it 28 day cube strength often available
after 7 days.

3 The span values are based on the use of a minimum


100mm bearing support. Where the bearing exceeds
100mm the span capacity can be increased.
See example below.
4 Deck must lie flat on all supports beams. Point only contact
will affect the design loading.
5 The self weight of the slab has been taken in to account in
the table and should not be included in the applied loading.

14 Where more than one prop is provided they should be


equally spaced across the span of the Multideck.
15 Where * appears the addition of props gives no further
spanning benefit in these cases.

Definition of Span (Construction Stage)


When Using Kingspan Load Tables

6 All tabulated span capacities include applied construction


stage load of 1.5kN/m2 for spans of 3.0m or larger.
For spans less than 3.0m the construction load is
4.5/span(m) kN/m2.

support c/c

7 The composite slab should meet the requirements of


BS5950 Part 4 1994 with regard to their composite
behaviour under normal loading.
8 The concrete grade is a minimum of C25/30 with a
minimum ultimate strength is of 30N/mm2.
9 Minimum reinforcement mesh sizes shown meet or
exceed 0.1% gross cross sectional area of the concrete
at the supports. Minimum reinforcement should be
increased where:-

100mm
minimum

100mm
minimum

a) The slab is propped during construction.

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.

b) It is required to control the size of cracking in the


concrete i.e. where a brittle finishes is applied
to the slab.

The deck span (m) used in the table is based on the


(Support c/c support bearing) + the deck depth.
All values in metres.

c) There are moving loads.

Example
Support widths 140mm and 200mm.
Span values can be increased by (140 + 200)/2 100 = 70mm.

Mesh reinforcement should be placed near the upper edge


of the concrete slab in a zone of 15mm to 40mm from the
top surface. Concrete cover to reinforcement should be
increased where slab exposure dictates.
10 Where in the table the span value is shown in red this
shows the maximum permissible span where there is a
minimum of one stud per trough
11 Total applied load referred to in the table is a working load
derived from the sum of the loads supported by the
composite slab (live load, finishes, ceilings, services,
partitions). Loads shown are based on Ultimate
capacity / 1.6. The slab self weight has already been
taken in to account do not include in applied loads.

Multideck 60-V2
Fire Performance Mesh
1 The fire resistance tables for Multideck 60-V2 on the
following pages are based upon fire test data from full
scale tests performed at the Warrington Fire Research
Centre UK, 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.
5 Minimum laps should be 300mm for A142 mesh and
400mm for A193 and A252 mesh.
6 The mesh should be placed between 15 and 40mm
from the upper surface of the slab (this range caters
for lap areas).

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.
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 36-40).

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 = 3.14m.

Note:
For load / span conditions beyond the scope of these tables, the Kingspan Multideck design software should be used to check for a solution.
Toolkit Design Software provides an accurate and detailed analysis and Kingspan encourages its use for all design checks.

Multideck 60-V2
Sound Attenuation
Kingspan Structural Products have undertaken extensive
testing on the acoustic performance of the Multideck range of
composite steel deck slabs
The testing was carried out on behalf of Kingspan Structural
Products by the Steel Construction Institute and resulted in a
comprehensive report Acoustic Performance of Kingspan
Composite Floors copies of which can be obtained from
Kingspan Structural Products technical Department.

Note:
The tables are based on a minimum concrete density of 2350kgs/m3 and can be used with mesh or
Dramix reinforcement. Lightweight concrete may lead to a reduction in acoustic performance of
about 2 to 3 dB on the values shown above.
Values of DnT,w and Lnw are available from Kingspan Structural Technical Department.
The junction details between the walls and floors must be appropriately detailed to ensure that
flanking sound is minimised .
The values in the table are based on the new (since 2003) measurement index DnT,w+Ctr for
airborne sound. The Ctr term is a spectrum adaptation value which is generally negative and
adjusts the index to take account of low frequency sounds that often cause problems in residential
buildings. Thus the DnT,w +Ctr rating is lower than the DnT,w rating for the same construction.

Material Specification 350N/mm2 Steel

Reinforcement

Steel strip for Multideck 80-V2 complies with BS EN 10143


and BS EN 10326:2004 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 control cracking in the concrete


at all intermediate supports is required in BS 5950: Part 4
1994. Steel reinforcement for crack control or fire engineering
purposes in accordance with British Standards: Hot rolled bars
BS 4449: 1997; Mesh reinforcement BS 4483: 1998.
A reinforced solution using Dramix Steel Fibres from Bekaert
is available, see pages 101 to 103 for details.

Concrete Volumes and Specification


Load / span tables are based on Grade C25/30 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.

Notes:
1 Important concrete volumes do not take into account deflection.
2 Excludes weight of steel decking and relates only to weight of concrete.
3 Concrete volumes are based upon a calculated minimum value
(nominal slab depth). Account should be taken of deck
and supporting structure deflections.

Multideck 80-V2
Load Tables

Please refer to the Multideck 80-V3


Load / Span document for information
relating to the new 0.90mm gauge.

1 The table shows the maximum span in meters of the


Multideck product for the applied loads and slab depths
shown. Values are shown for each gauge where the deck
is single span or double spans, plus values for propped
spans during construction.

12 Deflection under construction loading (wet concrete etc)


has been limited to that stipulated in BS5950 Part 4 1994.
At the composite stage the suggested maximum ratio of
slab span to slab depth are 35 for NWC and 30 for LWC to
control deflection.

2 Construction stage span capacity are generally noted under


the 4kN/m2 load and are shaded. For confirmation of
maximum un-propped spans see page 95.

13 For the propped during construction cases the temporary


supports should remain in place until the concrete has
achieved 75% of it 28 day cube strength often available
after 7 days.

3 The span values are based on the use of a minimum


100mm bearing support. Where the bearing exceeds
100mm the span capacity can be increased.
See example below.
4 Deck must lie flat on all supports beams. Point only contact
will affect the design loading.
5 The self weight of the slab has been taken in to account in
the table and should not be included in the applied loading.

14 Where more than one prop is provided they should be


equally spaced across the span of the Multideck.
15 Where * appears the addition of props gives no further
spanning benefit in these cases.

Definition of Span (Construction Stage)


When Using Kingspan Load Tables

6 All tabulated span capacities include applied construction


stage load of 1.5kN/m2 for spans of 3.0m or larger.
For spans less than 3.0m the construction load is
4.5/span(m) kN/m2.

support c/c

7 The composite slab should meet the requirements of


BS5950 Part 4 1994 with regard to their composite
behaviour under normal loading.
8 The concrete grade is a minimum of C25/30 with a
minimum ultimate strength is of 30N/mm2.
9 Minimum reinforcement mesh sizes shown meet or
exceed 0.1% gross cross sectional area of the concrete
at the supports. Minimum reinforcement should be
increased where:-

100mm
minimum

100mm
minimum

a) The slab is propped during construction.

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.

b) It is required to control the size of cracking in the


concrete i.e. where a brittle finishes is applied
to the slab.

The deck span (m) used in the table is based on the


(Support c/c support bearing) + the deck depth.
All values in metres.

c) There are moving loads.

Example
Support widths 140mm and 200mm.
Span values can be increased by (140 + 200)/2 100 = 70mm.

Mesh reinforcement should be placed near the upper edge


of the concrete slab in a zone of 15mm to 40mm from the
top surface. Concrete cover to reinforcement should be
increased where slab exposure dictates.
10 Where in the table the span value is shown in red this
shows the maximum permissible span where there is a
minimum of one stud per trough.
11 Total applied load referred to in the table is a working load
derived from the sum of the loads supported by the
composite slab (live load, finishes, ceilings, services,
partitions). Loads shown are based on Ultimate
capacity / 1.6. The slab self weight has already been
taken in to account do not include in applied loads.

MD80-V2 1.2mm double span deck (no props).


150mm thick slab normal weight concrete.
Construction stage span from page 45,
4.0kN/m2 load column = 4810mm.
With support widths of 140 and 200 the increased span
capacity is 4810 + 70 = 4880mm.

Multideck 80

Load / Span Table (Steel 350N/mm2) Unpropped Construction

Multideck 80-V2
Fire Performance Mesh
1 The fire resistance tables for Multideck 80-V2 on the
following pages are based upon fire test data from full
scale tests performed at the Warrington Fire Research
Centre UK, 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.

2 All stated slab depths comply with the minimum fire


insulation criteria of BS 476: Part 20 1987.

5 Minimum laps should be 300mm for A142 mesh and


400mm for A193 and A252 mesh.

3 The composite slab is assumed to be continuous over one


or more intermediate supports. i.e. minimum double span.

6 The mesh should be placed between 15 and 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 80-V2 to verify the structural integrity of
the composite slab.
9 The values in all the tables are relevant to unpropped
construction.
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 80-V2 profile
Total applied load = 1.2 + 0.5 + 7.5/0.8 = 11.075kN/m2
From table opposite maximum span = 3.16m.
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.
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.

Note:
For load / span conditions beyond the scope of these tables, the Kingspan Multideck design software should be used to check for a solution.
Toolkit Design Software provides an accurate and detailed analysis and Kingspan encourages its use for all design checks.

Multideck 80-V2
Sound Attenuation
Kingspan Structural Products have undertaken extensive
testing on the acoustic performance of the Multideck range of
composite steel deck slabs.
The testing was carried out on behalf of Kingspan Structural
Products by the Steel Construction Institute and resulted in a
comprehensive report Acoustic Performance of Kingspan
Composite Floors copies of which can be obtained from
Kingspan Structural Products Technical Department.

Note:
The tables are based on a minimum concrete density of 2350kgs/m3 and can be used with mesh or
Dramix reinforcement. Lightweight concrete may lead to a reduction in acoustic performance of
about 2 to 3 dB on the values shown above.
Values of DnT,w and Lnw are available from Kingspan Structural Technical Department.
The junction details between the walls and floors must be appropriately detailed to ensure that
flanking sound is minimised.
The values in the table are based on the new (since 2003) measurement index DnT,w+Ctr for
airborne sound. The Ctr term is a spectrum adaptation value which is generally negative and
adjusts the index to take account of low frequency sounds that often cause problems in residential
buildings. Thus the DnT,w +Ctr rating is lower than the DnT,w rating for the same construction.

Multideck 146
Concrete Volume Savings
Multideck 146 composite steel deck is optimised to
minimise the concrete volumes on longer spans providing
significant savings in comparison to traditional trapezoidal
steel decks used free spanning or propped.
Multideck 146 requires 31% less concrete than the next
best spanning 80mm trapezoidal deck of the equivalent
slab depth.
The saving in concrete translates into a saving in weight
that the structure must support, resulting in economies in
the supporting structure and foundations.

Note: The above volumes do not take into account deflection.

Technical Support
Multideck 146 has been engineered to optimise performance of
the steel and concrete. No other trapezoidal profile can span as
far as Multideck 146. It supports normal weight concrete
without the need for props, providing new opportunities for
efficiencies in construction.
Multideck 146 should be considered for projects with spanning
requirements of 4.0m and above.
The deck can be supported on the top flange of a beam or
partnered with ultra shallow fabricated beams to produce a
truly shallow floor construction of 215mm depth.
Key benefits include:

Prefixed Studs
Multideck 146 is a single spanning deck so it is ideal for
use with beams that have the shear studs attached in the
fabrication shop avoiding, or vastly reducing, the need to
through deck stud weld on site. While Multideck 146 is
generally used with 19mm diameter shear studs it can be
equally used with other types of shear attachments as long
as the deck is provided with a minimum bearing of 50mm.
Multideck 146 can be through deck stud welded on site
without difficulty.

56

Kingspan Toolkit software includes comprehensive


composite floor design software which allows the user to
easily select the right Multideck solution. The design
software is available for download from the web site
www.kingspanstructural.com.
The Multideck design department provides a
comprehensive engineering and advisory service to
specifiers and end users on the use of the Multideck
range of composite decks.

Greater Design Efficiency


Multideck 146 enhances the performance of the Multideck
family of composite steel decks providing efficient spanning
capacities to beyond 6.0m. There is a Multideck profile to
suit each and every requirement.

Quicker Installation
Multideck 146 deck is 600mm wide and with no need for
temporary props, even on spans of 6.0m, means this deck
is quick to install.
Reduced concrete volumes means quicker laying times
and fewer concrete deliveries to site.

Multideck 146
Reinforcement
Reinforcement to Concrete
Composite Slab
The Multideck 146 composite concrete slab is always
reinforced with one 16mm diameter bar in every trough and a
suitable steel mesh reinforcement positioned near the top of
the concrete slab.

16mm Diameter Bar Reinforcement


The Multideck 146 composite concrete slab requires a 16mm
diameter rod positioned in every trough at 60mm height
(from bottom of the deck). This bar reinforcement works in
conjunction with the 146 steel deck to enhance the composite
and fire design stage performance.
In some cases the bar reinforcement will need to be anchored,
this can be achieved by sufficient overlap of the bars over
internal supports. On external supports the anchorage can be
provided by U bars if present, or by creating a 90 bend at the
end of the bar over the support.

Mesh Reinforcement
Mesh is required to control the cracking that can occur in the
concrete due to shrinkage or stresses in the concrete.
BS EN 5950 part 4 recommends that the mesh area is
a minimum of 0.1% of the cross sectional area of the
concrete slab.
The engineer should increase the mesh area where:
the slab is propped;
the size of cracks in the concrete needs to be minimised;
brittle finishes are applied to the slab surface;
moving wheel loads or point loads are applied to the slab.
Mesh reinforcement should be placed near the upper edge of
the concrete slab, in a zone of 15mm to 40mm.
Mesh sheets must be overlapped, use of flying ends make
overlapping easier and avoid build up of the mesh thickness
at overlaps.
The mesh should be supported on suitable mesh stools to
maintain the required mesh position.
U bars are required at composite edge beams with shear
studs, as on all other concrete composite steel deck floors
supported on composite beams.

Note:
Bar shown in central trough only for clarity. All troughs should include bar reinforcement. Spacer system by specialist manufacturer.

Multideck 146
Load Tables
When using load tables for Multideck 146 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 over a length of 3.0m and 0.75kN/m2 over the
remainder of the span. The 1.5kN/m2 is positioned at mid
span for bending moment and adjacent to the support for
shear (see diagram).

4 All tabulated loads include ponding of the wet concrete due


to the deflection of the Multideck 146.
Additional concrete due to the deflection of the supports
(beams) is not included in the table. Use the Toolkit
Software to check solutions with additional loading to
account for support deflection.

5 The suggested maximum ratios of slab span to slab depth


are 30 for LWC and 35 for NWC to control deflections.
6 Deflection under construction loading (wet concrete etc.)
has been limited to that stipulated in BS 5950: Part 4 1994.
7 Minimum reinforcement mesh sizes shown provide
both 0.1% of the gross cross-sectional area and 0.2%
of the cross sectional area above the ribs of the concrete
at the support.
Minimum reinforcement should be increased where the
slab is propped or there are moving loads, or concrete
crack size is a consideration i.e. where brittle finishes
are required.

Definition of Span (Construction Stage)


When Using Kingspan Load Tables

Mesh reinforcement should be placed near the upper edge


of the concrete slab, in a zone of 15mm to 40mm.

Construction load positioned for max bending moment


construction load
1.5kN/m2 x 1.6

8 All values require a minimum of one 16mm diameter bar,


grade B500, in each trough positioned at 60mm height
9 Line loads and / or point loading may require additional
local reinforcement. Use the Multideck design software.

10 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).
11 Temporary supports should remain in place until the
concrete has achieved its 75% of the 28 day cube strength
often available after 7 days.
12 Deck must lie flat on all support beams. Point only contact
at the support will affect design loading.
13 Span values are centres of supports based on a width of
support of 100mm. Minimum of 50mm end bearing on
steel or concrete and 75mm on other materials.

Multideck 146
Fire Performance Mesh
1 The fire resistance tables for Multideck 146 on the following
pages must be read in conjunction with load / span tables
for Multideck 146 to verify the structural integrity of the
composite slab.
2 The following fire resistance tables for Multideck 146 are
based on analysis by the Steel Construction Institute.
3 All stated slab depths comply with the minimum fire
insulation criteria.
4 The composite slab is treated as a single span so the
values shown can be used on a single or continuous slab.
5 All solutions have a minimum of one 16 bar grade B500 per
trough at 60mm height.
The load tables are shown for unanchored and anchored
bar reinforcement. Where there are internal supports
anchoring the bars can be achieved with a simple overlap.
At the end support, U bars around composite shear studs
will provide the anchor. Otherwise use bond lengths beyond
the inner flange edge and straight or bent bars.
The unanchored solution does not need any additional
attachment of the bars.
6 Minimum laps should be 300mm for A142 mesh and
400mm for A193, A252 and A393 mesh.
7 Mesh reinforcement should be placed near the upper edge
of the concrete slab, in a zone of 15mm to 40mm.
8 The tables are based upon Grade C25/30 concrete for
other grades use the Multideck design software.

Examples of the applied loads for the fire load tables


load factors from BS5950 part 8.
The load tables are based on a Fire limit state load factor
f of 1.0.
For some applications the non permanent loading can use a
load factor of f of 0.8 and for office 0.5.
See table 5 BS 5950 part 8 section 7.1.

For a 225mm slab with 1.5 hour fire, the max span for

Always check the load span capacity to verify the structural
capacity and use the lesser of the capacities, fire limit state
or structural.

9 The tables are based on a load factor of 1.0 for the fire
case. Further capacity can be achieved by taking into
account the reduced partial factor of 0.8 or 0.5 as
permitted in BS 5950: Part 8 for non-permanent
imposed loads.
10 For fire performance on propped construction use the
Multideck Design Software.
11 Span values are centres of supports based on a width of
support of 100mm. Minimum of 50mm end bearing on
steel or concrete and 75mm on other materials.

Note:
For load / span conditions beyond the scope of these tables, the Kingspan Multideck design software should be used to check for a solution.
Toolkit Design Software provides an accurate and detailed analysis and Kingspan encourages its use for all design checks.

Multideck 146
Sound Attenuation
Kingspan Structural Products have undertaken extensive
testing on the acoustic performance of the Multideck range of
composite steel deck slabs.

Multideck 146

The testing was carried out on behalf of Kingspan Structural


Products by the Steel Construction Institute and resulted in a
comprehensive report, Acoustic Performance of Kingspan
Composite Floors, copies of which can be obtained from
Kingspan Structural Products Technical Department.

Note:
Values shown shaded are not sufficient for separating floors in residential buildings.
For floor systems which comprise a composite slab (depth = 215 to 305mm) on Multideck 146
deck, a suspended ceiling and a floor treatment, the airborne and impact sound insulation
provided will easily satisfy the requirements for separating floors in residential buildings.
The junction details between the walls and floors must be appropriately detailed to ensure
flanking sound is minimised.

Sitework
Transport and Site Access

Quality Control On-site

Delivery vehicles are up to 16m long with a maximum gross


weight of 30 tonnes and a turning circle of 25m. 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 25 tonnes.

Quality control on site should be based on the


recommendations of BS 8000: Part 2 Concrete Work.

Unloading
Unloading of vehicles on-site is the responsibility of others.
Safe Off Loading Systems Available
Trailers with an integral fall arrest system are available on
request. Please liase with your Customer Service contact when
discussing deliveries. Trailers equipped with Moffett mounted
truck mountable fork lift trucks are also available.

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

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.

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.

Deck Identification

Never walk on deck in the stack or before it is securely fixed in


position (see also Safety).

All Multideck bundles are marked to correspond with the


customers identification requirements. 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 86 and 87.

Multideck sheets must not be dragged from the stack.


Remove by lifting off one at a time.
Full personnel safety equipment must be used at all times.

Safety
Important
We recommend that all Multideck profiles are installed with
the appropriate safety considerations. Following full risk
assessment. Safety nets are a recognised solution for
most cases.
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 fixing of the Multideck
Prior to laying the Multideck the supports should be inspected
to ensure that they are sound and suitable for the purpose.
Engineers and contractors are advised to consult the SCI
P300, MCRMA Technical Paper 13 Composite Slabs and
beams using steel decking: Best practice for design and
construction. And the BCSA code of practice for Metal
Decking and Stud Welding.

Typical fixings to consider are Hilti X-ENP-19, Spit SBR14 ,


Spit HSBR14 or similar. The restraint requirements for steel
beams can be obtained from the structural design standard
used - for example BS5950 Part 3 section 3.1: Appendix A.2.3
Where Multideck is supported on concrete beams or
masonry, shot fired fixings may still be employed or use Spit
Tapcon concrete screws or the Hilti HUS (Hilti Universal
Screw). See manufactures literature for guidance.
For fixing to other materials and for further information
contact the fixing manufacturer.

Multideck sheets must be laid and securely fixed to the


support structure using primary fixings through the trough of
the Mutlideck to avoid dislodgment or damage prior to and
during the pour of the concrete.

Minimum fixing numbers for Multideck


More fixings may be required if they are solely providing the
restraint to the support beam

There are a number of fixing types that may be employed to


secure the Multideck to the supporting structure, but, in
general shot-fired fixings are both fast and economical.

MD50 V2
Every sheet must have two fixings at the panel ends, and
two fixings at any internal supports. Fixings must be placed
one in a trough.

Where the Multideck will subsequently be through deck stud


welded a fixing size and specification can be chosen to
support the temporary load case only. Typical fixings would

on a project for any fixing type must be checked with the
fixing supplier.

MD60 V2 and MD80-V2


Every sheet must have one fixing in each trough at the
Multideck ends, and one fixing in the lap trough at any internal
supports of that Multideck sheet.

If through deck stud welding is not being used the


fixings should be sized by the engineer to suit the
support beam restraint requirements both in the
temporary and permanent load cases. The
fixing manufactures should be consulted
for guidance on the suitability and
application of the fixing types.

MD146
Every sheet must have one fixing in each trough at the panel
ends, and one fixing in the lap trough at any internal supports.
MD146 is normally used single span.

Multideck 50-V2 / 60-V2 / 80-V2 Shear Studs
Shear studs

Concrete cover to studs

Where the supporting beam is engineered to be composite


with the slab, shear connection is required between the steel
beam and the concrete. This shear connection takes the form
of headed studs which can be through deck stud welded to
the top flange of the beam on site. Or if the deck is used in
single span lengths the studs can be welded directly to the top
of the beam in the fabrication shop.

The concrete cover over the stud should not be less than
15mm. If the concrete is required to protect the connector
against corrosion it should not be less than 20mm

Use of the deck single span has serious cost issues for the
slab so the use of double span deck lengths is the norm.

Shear stud sizes and lengths


Shear studs for through deck welding are 19mm diameter
headed studs of varying lengths. The material is low carbon
steel with a minimum yield strength of 350N/mm2 and a
minimum ultimate tensile strength of 450N/mm2.
The length of shear studs is given as the length after welding
LAW and for Multideck the shear stud should extend not less
than 35mm over the shoulder of the deck i.e.
Multideck 50-V2 use standard stud length of 95mm LAW
Multideck 60-V2 use standard stud length of 95mm LAW
Multideck 80-V2 use standard stud length of 120mm LAW

Steel beam support


The flange thickness of the underlying support beam should
not be less than 0.4 x the stud diameter or 7.6mm for the 19
diameter stud. The top flange of the steel beam must be
unpainted if studs are to be successfully through deck welded
The flange of the supporting beam must be of sufficient width
where shear studs are provided in pairs see the diagram on
page 91 for dimensions.

90

Stud strengths
Where shear studs are used to provide composite beam
action the stud strength in the concrete can be calculated to
BS5950 part 3 Section 3.1 using the Multideck geometry
Where the concrete is reinforced with Dramix Steel fibres the
shear stud strengths calculated from BS5950 part 3 section
3.1 may be used as they are conservative or use the design
guide supplied by Bekaert.
For the MD146 deck the stud strength values see page 92 or
contact Structural Products Technical Department.

Stud welding equipment


Welding equipment should be from a reputable manufacturer
with a minimum of 200KVA for a diesel generator or mains
power at 415V 3 phase fused at 100A per phase.
Adequate earth connection is required if through deck
welds are to be made.

Stud layout geometry

Pre welded studs

The following data is intended to be used only as a guide.


Final design criteria are the responsibility of the design agency
and / or a qualified design engineer.

Shear studs can be welded directly to the top flange in the


fabrication shop but this requires that the Multideck is used in
single span lengths.

1) The spacing of the studs should not be less than


95mm in the direction of the shear force or
diagonal dimension

With pre welded studs all of the beam can be protected


against corrosion. However, use of the deck single span has
serious cost issues for the slab so the use of double span
deck lengths is the norm.

57mm transverse to the direction of the shear force


when studs are in a diagonal pattern
2) The longitudinal spacing of the studs should not exceed the
lesser of 600mm or 4 x the slab depth.
3) The distance between the edge of a stud and the edge of
the steel beam flange should not be less than 20mm.

The position of the shear studs along the beam should be laid
out to line through with the troughs in the deck transverse to
the beam span.
Stud layouts and beam flange size should be considered
carefully to ensure there is a minimum bearing of 50mm for the
deck and that the practicalities of placing packs of deck safely
and laying out the deck are taken account of.

4) Where studs are required along a beam and the deck is


transverse to the beam the studs must be spaced to suit
the location of the deck troughs.

Other forms of shear connector

5) Where there is a Multideck joint over the supporting beam


and one stud per trough. The studs should be through
deck welded in alternate troughs on each deck. So that
each deck end in anchored by studs in alternate troughs.

Mechanical brackets using shot fired pins to anchor to the


steel beam are available but generally have a much lower
shear capacity than that of through deck welded studs.

Multideck 146 Shear Studs
Through Deck Stud Welding

Prefixed to Beams

Multideck 146 is available in gauges 1.2 and 1.5mm and all


gauges can be through deck stud welded to suitable
supporting beams.

Multideck 146 has been optimised for single span


performance so is ideal for use with beams that have the
shear studs placed in the fabrication shop, avoiding or vastly
reducing the need to weld on-site.

Shear studs are 19mm diameter headed shear studs of low


carbon steel, with a minimum yield point of 350N/mm2 and an
ultimate tensile strength of 450N/mm2.
For the Multideck 146 the length of shear stud is 200mm or
195mm LAW and 19mm diameter.
The stud capacity for 195mm LAW 19mm diameter studs
used with Multideck 146 and 25/30* concrete is:
One stud Prd = 28.2 kN each stud
Two studs Prd = 19.6 kN each stud

While the Multideck 146 is generally used with 19mm


diameter studs, it can equally be used with other types of
shear attachment.
Stud layout should be placed carefully to ensure there is a
minimum bearing of 50mm and that the practicalities of
placing packs of deck and laying out the deck are taken
account of.

Stud Positioning Multideck 146

Pair of studs must be at least 76mm apart in the transverse


direction hence, the smallest flange width for two studs
is 135mm.
Multideck 146 with studs placed in every trough provides
minimum spacing of 265mm.
Where single studs per trough are used and the deck is single
span, the stud placement should be staggered in alternate
troughs on each deck.

Formation of Holes in Multideck Floor Slabs

Structural Limitations
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.

2. Holes up to 300mm square will not require additional


reinforcement or trimming beams.
3. Holes over 300mm square up to 500mm square will require the
following additional reinforcement if trimming support beams
are not provided.
a. One T 20 bar in each trough either side of the hole (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.

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).

1. No hole should be closer than its width to an


unsupported edge.
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.

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.

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.

4. Holes over 500mm square up to 700mm square will require


the following additional reinforcement trimming if support
beams are not provided.

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.

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).

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.

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).

The following information is for guidance only. The design


and detailing of additional trimming reinforcement around
voids is the responsibility of the engineer.

Construction Details
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.

a. One T 25 bar in each trough either side of the hole


(or multiple smaller bars giving the equivalent area).

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).
e. Three additional high yield bars of the same diameter as the
mesh across each edge of the hole at mesh level.
5. Holes over 700mm square will require trimming support
beams around the opening.

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.

Sitework
Multideck 50-V2 / 60-V2 / 80-V2 Temporary Supports
Do I Need to Prop?
Decking is usually designed and sized to be self supporting
during the construction stage where the deck alone supports
the weight of the wet concrete and construction loads.
Temporary props are only required where the actual deck
support centres exceed the construction stage performance
of the deck as shown in the tables on page 95.
There may be small areas of floor in a building where
propping is required even though the rest of the floor remains
un-propped typically these areas that require props include:Decking bays where infill is required after the removal of the
tower crane. Often the deck will be in single span lengths.
Lobby areas around lift shafts where the deck may have to be
laid single span to fit in with the layout.
If longer spans and / or thicker slab than those shown in the
tables on page 97 are required the Multideck 146 should be
propped at mid span. Alternatively use the Multideck software
to confirm the requirements.
Other requirements for props
Props may also be required to support side and end trims
where the outstand is greater than the limits shown in this
literature. Where the end of the deck abuts in-situ concrete
and there is no permanent support for the end of the deck.
Or where the deck cantilevers beyond the support for a
distance exceeding the deck capacity shown in this literature.

Normally props are positioned at mid span (one line of props)


or third points (two lines of props) within the span.
Props normally consist of lengths of timber bearer and / or
steel runners placed directly below the deck and supported on
adjustable steel tubes (Acrows). The width of the timber and or
steel plates should provide sufficient bearing area - as a guide
that would be between 75 and 100mm. The decking sheets
must never be cut at the location of the temporary support nor
should the deck be fixed to the temporary support.
The bearer must be continuous and extend for the width of the
bay. Discrete props and packs should not be used. The bearer
should be supported by Acrows at approx 1.0m c/c spaced
equally along the line of the prop and be suitably braced.
All props must be adequately founded to support the loads
that will be applied.
Where props are being used to facilitate large spans it may be
necessary to have the props in place before laying the deck to
facilitate a safe working environment.
A typical temporary support is shown in the detail below.
Props in this arrangement are generally placed at 1.0m c/c
according to the designers requirements.
The design and provision of props is the responsibility
of others.

Layout and location of props


The deck layout drawing should show the location and extent
of props to the deck. If there is any doubt on the requirement
for props consult the span tables on page 95 or use the
Multideck software.

Note:
We recommend that temporary supports are
braced in both directions for safety.

Multideck 146 Temporary Supports
Do I Need to Prop?
Multideck 146 is designed as single span with a capacity of
6.0m plus and as such does not normally require temporary
supports during the construction stage.
There may be cases where longer spans are required and
the deck can be propped during the construction stage.
Load tables are shown for the Multideck 146 1.5mm gauge
propped construction.
The requirement for temporary support must be clearly shown
and identified on the drawings of the deck layout. Provision of
props to deck, that was not intended to be propped, should
be checked with the engineer as the composite stage capacity
can be reduced.
If temporary supports are required, they should be provided at
mid span of the Multideck 146 so that the span either side of
the prop is equal. The decking sheets must never be cut at the
location of temporary support and the deck should not be
fixed to the temporary support.
Temporary supports should continuously support the
underside of the deck and are normally lengths of timber or
steel beams supported by adjustable steel tubes (Acrows).
The width of the temporary support on which the deck sits
should not be less than 100mm and should extend for the
full width of the bay of deck and be suitably braced.
Discrete props and packs should not be used.
It may be necessary to put the temporary supports in place
prior to laying of the deck.
The support of the prop at the base must always be
considered for strength and stability, taking account of the
weight of wet concrete and construction loads.
The design and provision of props is the responsibility
of others.
A typical temporary support is shown
in detail below.

Note:
We recommend that temporary supports
are braced in both directions for safety.

Kingspan supply the Multideck product for use with in-situ placed concrete to create a composite concrete slab.
As such it is important that the concrete and its placement meet the minimum requirements to achieve a quality product.
Concrete should be specified, supplied and assessed in accordance with the requirements of BS8500.
Minimum concrete strength
The load tables in this literature assume a minimum concrete
strength of C25/30 with a minimum cube strength of 30N/mm2
at 28 days.
The Multideck design software allows designs with concrete
cube strengths from 25 to 50N/mm2 with a default of
30N/mm2. The concrete supplied on site must meet or exceed
the minimum design values used.
Consistence
Concrete is normally pumped on to the deck and it should
have a suitable consistency to allow placement without
heaping of the concrete on the deck. The consistency of the
concrete should be specified by the concrete contractor.
Typical values are S2 or S3.
The use of Bekaerts Dramix steel fibre in the concrete will
require consideration of the mix design to create a suitable
consistency the concrete contractor should seek guidance
from Bekaert if they do not have previous experience in the
use of Dramix steel fibre reinforced concrete.
Self Compacting Concrete
May be used with Multideck products advice should be
sought from the ready mix supplier as to suitable grades and
slump flow test values to be used.
Care must be taken to account for the deflection of the deck
and supporting beams resulting in a thicker slab, as the self
compacting concrete will flow to a level. The additional
concrete depth should be taken in to account in the
construction stage design of the Multideck.

98

Concrete placement
Concrete can be conveniently placed by pump either mobile or
for very high multi-story buildings by fixed pumps.
Where the pump line is laid across the deck its weight
should be adequately dispersed by spreaders to avoid
damaging the deck.
Ideally the concrete should be discharged on to the deck at a
beam support position with the concrete being moved and
spread out as quickly as possible to avoid heaping which may
overload the Multideck. The concrete discharge pipe should
be held horizontally so that the concrete is not discharged
vertically and the height of discharge should be kept to a
minimum to avoid damage to the deck by the impact load
from the wet concrete.
Further Guidance
For further guidance on concrete placement , and composite
slabs on Multideck see The SCI / MCRMA publication 300

Volumes of concrete shown are for the nominal slab depth as


shown in the table. To take account of deck deflection an
allowance of span mm / 285,000 = m3/m2.
Consideration should be given to the support deflection (beam)
and an allowance included in the volume of concrete required.
Multideck Design Software allows consideration of beam
deflection.

Day Joints
Where it is not possible to cast the day joint close to the
Multideck butt joint no more than one third of the sheet
should be left un-poured.
Timber, foam or proprietary closures should be provided
by the concrete contractor to fit the profile and form the
day joint stop.
If the slab is reinforced with Dramix Steel fibre additional
continuity bar reinforcement should be provided at
the day joint.

Concrete

Day joints in the concrete slab should be placed as close as


possible to the butt joint in the Multideck over the support, but
clear and leaving uncast any shear studs where the Multideck
is supported on a steel beam. Keeping the shear studs clear
from the day joint avoids the studs being preloaded when the
other side of the slab is subsequently cast.

Concrete
Reinforcement
Concrete is a brittle material strong in compression but weak in tension and as such must be reinforced with a material that can
provide tensile strength and ductility. The most common reinforcement material is steel.
Multideck Primary reinforcement
Where the slab is designed as composite it is the Multideck
that provides all of the tensile reinforcement for the slab.
The mechanical shear keys formed in to the webs and ribs of
the Multideck product lock the concrete and deck together.
Performance values are derived from testing.
Mesh reinforcement
Mesh reinforcement is required to control cracking that can
occur in the concrete due to shrinkage or other induced tensile
stresses in the concrete. The composite slab loading case is
generally designed as a single span and where the concrete is
continuous a light mesh reinforcement is provided over the
supports to control possible cracking.
BS EN 5950 part 4 suggest that the minimum mash area
is a 0.1% of the cross sectional area of the concrete slab at
the support.
Top mesh should be placed in a zone of 15 to 40mm from the
top surface of the slab.
Additional mesh reinforcement may be needed at positions of
concentrated loads i.e. point or line loading, BS EN 5950
provides guidance on minimum values to adopt.
These secondary reinforcements are normally placed on the
top of the deck so deeper slabs may require two layers of
reinforcement in specific areas.
The engineer should consider increasing the mesh area where:
The slab is propped during construction
The size of any cracks in the slab need to be controlled
Brittle finishes are applied to the slab surface
Moving wheel or point loads are applied to the slab
Mesh sheets must be over lapped, use of flying ends make
overlapping easier and avoids build up of the mesh thickness
at laps.
The mesh should be supported on a suitable mesh stools to
maintain the required position during the concrete pour.

100

Bar reinforcement
Bar reinforcement is some times required with Multideck
composite slabs.
Where the fire period combined with the applied loading
exceeds the slab performance using mesh, then, addition
bar reinforcement can be used to provide a solution.
The Multideck design software offers a full range of A mesh
and bar reinforcement combinations.
MD146 long spanning deck requires a minimum of one 16 dia.
bar reinforcement per trough for all load cases.
Bar reinforcement should be supported on suitable bar stools
or wired from the mesh so that the bar is located in the correct
height and position in the slab as shown in the design.
U bars are required around shear studs on composite edge
beams to avoid splitting of the concrete at the composite
edge beam.
Dramix Steel fibres
The use of Dramix steel fibres can replace mesh
reinforcement in Multideck 50-V2 , 60-V2 and 80-V2,
composite slabs providing the structural performance
documented in this literature.
See specifically page 101 to 103 and the general section for
each deck.

Concrete
Kingspan Multideck and Bekaert Composite Slab
Dramix Steel Fibres
Dramix Steel Fibres are made from prime quality hard-drawn
steel-wire to ensure high tensile strength and close tolerances.
Dramix Steel 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 BS EN ISO 9001:2008.

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
2.2. Truckmixer
Add Dramix as the final component into the back
of the mixer truck
Run mixer at drum speed: 12-18rpm
Adjust slump to a min. of 12cm (preferably with water
reducing agents or high water reducing agents)
Add fibres with maximum speed of 40kg/min
Optional equipment: belt-hoist elevator
After adding the fibres, continue mixing at highest
speed for 4-5 min
2.3. Automatic dosing
Fibres can be dosed from bulk at rates up to 3.5kg/sec
with a specially developed dosing equipment

Shear Stud Capacities


The SCI has established the following design information
relating to shear stud strengths from the test data:
In order to design studs embedded in fibre reinforced
concrete with a dosage of 20kg/m3 of Dramix
RC-80/60-BN or 30kg/m3 of Dramix RC-65/60-BN fibres
in accordance with BS 5950-3.1:1990 no shear stud
strength reduction factor is applicable.
In order to design studs embedded in fibre reinforced
concrete with a dosage of 20 kg/m3 of Dramix RC-80/60BN or 30 kg/m3 of Dramix RC-65/60-BN fibres in
accordance with BS DD ENV 1994 Part 2: 2001 no shear
stud strength reduction factor is applicable.
Recommendations When Mixing
1. General
Preferably use a central batching plant mixer when
adding Dramix Steel Fibres into concrete.
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.

Concrete

Shear Strength
The shear resistance of Dramix concrete reinforced with a
dosage of 20kg/m3 RC-80/60-BN / 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.

Uni-Wedge provides a solution to fix building services
equipment without penetrating the decking membrane.
This fixing provides a guaranteed safe working load and
simply requires a standard hexagon key and spanner with no
requirement for power, special tools or highly skilled labour.
Uni-Wedge has a unique body style that allows it to fix to
seven decking profiles, making it easy to use and specify.
The specific type of decking is not always easy to identify on
site and has caused installers problems when trying to acquire
the correct fixing to use, but Uni-Wedge provides the ideal
solution (see table below).
Uni-Wedge has been designed for the end user to ensure that
whatever the situation the right connection can be made as
quickly as possible.
Uni-Wedge has a fixing screw that is assembled in the body
and provides a positive location in the decking re-entrant
channel. This screw is assembled as standard in position 1 but
can easily be removed and placed in to position 2 to suit the
other decking profiles, see table below:
