Specification and Design
1.2
KF40 is manufactured from G550 (550MPa Yield Stress)

steel with a base metal thickness (BMT) of 0.60mm,
0.75mm or 1.00mm. The galvanised coating thickness is
Z350 (350g/m2) in accordance with AS1397.
Fielders KF40 is a revolutionary steel formwork solution
suitable for composite concrete slabs in concrete and
steel framed construction. An optimum strength-toweight profile, KF40 is the answer to increased market
demand for a lightweight profile. The KF40 profile
displaces 16mm of concrete from the total slab depth to
achieve a lightweight slab.
KF40 with Prestressed

Slabs
KF40 can be used in conjunction with prestressed/

post-tensioned slabs to act as an economical form of
permanent formwork, reducing propping and labour
requirements. Concrete slabs may be prestressed parallel
or perpendicular to that of the KF40 ribs. It is common
for the slab to act primarily in the spanning direction
of the steel decking, making it a one-way slab. In this
case the main prestressing is aligned in this direction,
and accordingly the cables must be draped to act

effectively. At the edges of the slabs the cables are

normally centralised in the depth of the slab, in the
mid-span regions they are placed as low as possible in
the slab with about 20mm bottom cover to the prestress
ducts (noting that design for fire resistance may require
a greater cover); over internal supports the top cover is
minimised; and the cable profiles take up a parabolic
shape in between these points.

The cables must be anchored at their dead and live

ends. After the stressing operation the ducts are normally
grouted. To avoid bursting the ducts during the high
pressure grouting operation, adequate concrete cover
(normally at least 20mm) must be provided to the ducts.
The prestressing cables are typically spaced transversely
at between 1000 and 3000mm centres depending on
the thickness of the slab and the intensity of prestress
required.
Post-tensioned concrete slabs are normally at least
150mm deep in order to fit the prestressing anchorages
into the slab without causing horizontal splitting, and
also accommodate some drape of the cables. Slabs up
to 200mm thick are very common in building floors, and
are the focus of this fact file when steel decking also has
to be accommodated within this depth.
To extend the flat pan width to locate post-tensioning
cables, infill panels are available, figure 1.2A
Note: anti-bursting reinforcement can be supported off

lap ribs, which ideally are only 20mm high and
allow concrete aggregate to pass around the
reinforcing bars as neccessary.

Fire performance of KF40
The BCA requires that floors must achieve satisfactory

levels in the criterion, of structural adequacy, integrity
and insulation. These three criterion are defined in
greater detail in AS1530.4. The performance objective
and requirements associated with the provision of a fireresistance period. It is necessary that fire does not pass
from one enclosure to the other, irrespective of whether
this is due to collapse, formation of cracks and fissures,
or excessive temperature rise.
Analysis of the fire performance of KF40 has been
undertaken to determine insulation and integrity in
accordance with established fire engineering principles.
It was found that ignition will not occur and the slab
will achieve the necessary performance with respect to
insulation (provided the maximum temperature of the
unexposed face does not exceed 275 C). The standard
fire tests concluded that the KF40 profile would achieve
the fire resistance period for insulation and integrity for
overall slab thicknesses as detailed below.

Locating Post Tensioned Cables

The location of the post tension conduit for KF40 slabs
are determined in order to not exceed the limiting steel
temperatures of 450 C (simply supported), 520 C (flat
slab) and 650 C (continuous) to ensure consistency with
current and future versions of AS3600.
For the case of tendons having parallel orientation to the
deck it is assumed that the conduit is located centrally
between two KF40 ribs. This gives a distance from
the centreline of the rib to the edge of the conduit of
85mm. The required distances from the heated soffit to
the bottom of the conduit have been determined using
TASEF-2 analyses previously undertaken for KF40 . The
limiting distances to the edge of the conduit to achieve
the nominated FRL are summarised in tables 1.3.B an
1.3.C and relate to the edge of the conduit being located
either 60mm or 75mm from the centreline of the rib as
shown in Figure 1.3.A.
The slab thickness has been assumed to be 160mm but

the results can be considered to be applicable to the
range of practical post-tensioned concrete slabs.

Acoustic Performance of
KF40 Slabs
A crucial issue when designing adjoined residential or

aged care premises is the transmission of noise through
floor systems. In isolation, profiled steel formwork slabs
do not offer the same level of sound insulation as off
form slabs. However, shallow floors generally exceed
the current requirements of the 2006 BCA when installed
with a ceiling and insulation (refer ot figure 1.4.A for
typical configuration).
The Rw value is a laboratory based test result, and is

similar to the STC that has been in use for a number of
years. The Rw+Ctr value is the Rw plus a correction for
noise containing greater proportions of lower frequency.
The Rw value is usually applied for Class 9c buildings
and Rw+Ctr is applied for apartment buildings as shown
below:

Class 9c buildings (Aged care facilities)
Currently the 2005 BCA requires that floor/ceiling

systems for Class 9c buildings include an Rw rating not
less than 45 and no specified impact noise numerical
requirement.
Deemed-to-satisfy constructions include:
Pre-cast 100mm thick concrete slab
100mm thick in-situ concrete slab with density not

less than 2500kg/m3
Apartment Buildings (Sole occupancy units)
Currently the 2006 BCA requires that floor/ceiling

systems for sole occupancy units include an Rw+Ctr
rating not less than 50 with an impact noise control
Ln,w+Cl not greater than 62.
Table 1.4.A is the proposed acceptable Rw and Rw+Ctr
ratings for ceiling provision combinations:
Where there is no ceiling provision, the BCA requires that
the floor surface finish is carpet on underlay.
We expect that the Ln,w+Cl impact noise criterion of not
exceeding 62 will be met for all configurations that meet
the airborne noise requirement.

Installing KF40
Fasteners and Locations
Temporary propping
If temporary propping is required [refer to the formwork

tables on the back page], props should be placed at the
correct centres prior to laying the KF40 sheets. Generally
timber or steel bearers with a minimum dimension of
100mm x 100mm are used for vertical props. The props
should be installed so as to prevent settlement during
loading by wet concrete and other construction loads.
Temporary props should only be removed after the
slab has reached sufficient strength [at least 75% of the
specified 28 day strength]. The full design load may
only be applied once the slab has achieved its 28 day
strength.
The decking must be positively fixed to the supporting

structure in order to avoid movement and excessive
deflection during the pouring of concrete.
When fixing to a steel support structure, shot fired pins
or self-drilling/tapping fasteners should be used. Provide
one fastener in each pan at every support.
In the case of other support systems, such as brickwork,
block work and concrete, the KF40 must be temporarily
held in place against wind and other effects until the
concrete is poured.

such as malthoid.
2.
Engage subsequent sheets of KF40 by locking the

larger female rib over the male rib as shown in the
diagram opposite.
Edge-trim
Galvanised steel edge trims can be used for the

retention of wet concrete to the correct level at the
decked floor perimeters. KF40 Edge trim is usually
shot-fired to the steel support structure or to the KF40
deck and the top of the trim is connected back to the
decking with restraint straps at approximately 600mm
centres using either pop-rivets or self-drilling screws.

Concrete placement
The specified grade of concrete and any chemical

admixtures must be in strict accordance with AS3600 and
the Structural Engineer's drawings and specification. The
deck must be clear of any excess dirt, grease or debris as
this inhibits bonding between the deck and concrete.
Ensure that concrete is applied evenly over the decking
surface, as mounting of the wet concrete will cause
excessive local loading.

1.
Live loads of 1.5kPa, 3.0kPa and 5.0kPa catering

for typical applications of residential housing and
commercial offices
2.
Assumed deflection limits of span/240 for formwork,

span/500 for incremental loads and span/250 for
total load
3.
Normal weight concrete (2400kg/m3)
4.
Concrete strength fc = 25 MPa
5.
Reinforcing steel Type N, yield fsy = 500MPa
6.
Adjacent spans do not differ in length by more than

5%
7.
The bearing width of the deck is assumed to be

50mm on its support and 100mm on props as
required
8.
The tables incorporate the updated AS3600-2001

code requirements for crack control reinforcement,
and allow for a moderated degree of crack control.

5.
The formwork tables provide maximum allowable

span (centreline to centreline) in millimetres between
the permanent supports after the temporary propping
is removed.
The practical limit for span-to slab depth ratio is
considered to be 35 for single span slabs, or 40
for continuous slabs. Values above these limits
have been listed in brackets (). The use of the
results in brackets needs to be confirmed with a
suitably qualified Structural Engineer or a Fielders
representative as the long term serviceability and
composite performance of the resulting concrete
slab may not be suitable for the project application.
The formwork tables have been calculated assuming
a construction Live Load of 1.0 kPa. Deflections are
computed based upon self-weight of decking plus
allowance for wet concrete. Ponding of concrete due
to decking deflection has been allowed for.
It is recommended that an experienced Structural
Engineer design the composite slab to ensure
sufficient capacity to meet strength and long term
deflection requirements.
Formwork design tables for both span/240 and
span/150 deflection limits between permanent
or temporary supports are included. A formwork
deflection limit of span/240 is usually considered
aesthetically satisfactory for exposed soffits. The
span/150 deflection limit may be appropriate where
the soffit is concealed. *
6.
These tables are based upon effective section

properties of the sheeting computed in accordance
with AS 4600 :1996 Cold formed steel structures.
7.
Care must be exercised when placing concrete to

avoid mounding.
8.
Spreaders shall be provided to prevent any

concentrated loads being applied to the sheeting,
in particular avoiding direct point loading of the
sheet overlap ribs and unsupported edges of the
sheeting.
9.
When using the tables for two or more continuous

decking spans, the adjacent spans should not differ
in length by more than 5%.

Good Practice Guide for

Installation of KingFlor
Placement of Decking
Break open bundles of KingFlor only when installation

of the sheets is due to commence, to minimise damage
and weather to the sheets. Check to ensure that any
temporary supports required are in place prior to
installing the decking. Reference should be made to
Fielders recommendations with regards to the required
propping centres.
it should be placed first over the supports where the

decking is continuous, followed by the mid span region
and finally the areas above the end supports. When
concrete is being poured transverse the decking ribs, it
should be placed first at the edge where a decking sheet
is supported by the underlap of an adjacent sheet. This
will help to ensure that the longitudinal seams between
sheets remain closed.
General Notes
1.
KingFlor decking should have a minimum support

width of 100mm at intermediate supports (i.e. over
temporary propping) and minimum 50mm bearing
width at the ends of the sheets.
2.
The decking is continuous over all intermediate

supports (i.e. propping) without intermediate splicing
or jointing. Sheeting shall only terminate at ends into
a permanent support (i.e. steel beam or concrete
beam).
3.
The propping supports shall be effectively rigid such

that their vertical deflection during the construction
phase (i.e. placing of concrete) can be ignored.
4.
It is the contractors responsibility to ensure that the

vertical props have sufficient strength to withstand
the construction load, are braced and secured
appropriated to withstand all incidental and
construction loads.
5.
When a KingFlor slab is to be poured in conjunction

with a band beam, it is the contractors responsibility
to ensure that the temporary ply used to form the
concrete beam is positioned, held and secured
sufficiently to form the beam to engineers details.
The KingFlor must pass the ply form of the beam
a minimum of 50mm. Care must be taken that the
KingFlor decking does not penetrate into the band
beam to such an extent that it fowls the internal
reinforcing used in the band beam.
Propping
Temporary propping may be required to minimise

deflection or collapse of the KingFlor. Refer to the
engineers drawings and KingFlor propping tables.
Props are not to be removed until the concrete has
reached 75% of its designed strength.
Propping generally consists of timber or steel bears
supported by vertical props or frames. Where the
underside of the KingFlor is to remain exposed as a
feature, a wide ply form strip attached to the bearers will
minimise marking. Strips of 300mm wide are common.
Fixing of Decking
The KingFlor must be held in position to resist wind and

construction loadings prior to the concrete curing. For
deck on steel a shot fired pin or a self-tapping screw
is required. For concrete structures a masonry nail or
nailing into the form of a band beam is required.
Storing of Decking
Decking should not be delivered to site prior to it being

required. If decking is required to be stored for any
length of time it should be lifted off the ground and either
covered or placed on an angle to stop moisture on the
deck. Also ensure that the sheets will not get damaged by
any passing vehicles or any other work on site.
Lifting and positioning of deck
Labelling of bundles will assist in the positioning of

the packs. Make sure that the laps are facing in the
direction in which the sheets will be laid. Ensure that the
sheets orientation is correct as detailed on the structural
engineers drawings.
Care is needed when lifting the decking bundles,
protected chain slings are recommended. Unprotected
chain slings can damage the bundle during lifting.
When synthetic slings are used there is a risk of severing
themfrom the edges of the decking sheets.
If timber packers are used, they should be secured to the
bundle before lifting so that when the slings are released
they do not fall to the ground. Bundles must never be
lifted using the metal banding.
Concrete Placing
Concrete should be placed in a manner that minimises the

permanent deflection of the decking. When concreting is
poured in the same direction as the span of the decking
