GENERAL NOTES: The following notes apply to all of the tables in this report unless otherwise noted.
1. The allowable diaphragm shear values listed in the tables are in pounds per linear foot (N/m).
2. Allowable superimposed loads listed in the tables are in pounds per square foot (Pa).
3. The uncoated base-metal thickness for all decks is indicated in Tables 1A and 1B. The thickness delivered to the jobsite
must be 95 percent of the thickness noted in the tables.
4. Deck panel seams must be fastened by welds, button punches or DeltaGrip™ seam attachment, as indicated in the
1
report. The length of seam welds must be a minimum of 1 /2 inches (38 mm). The DeltaGrip connection is three inverted
V-shaped, sheared embossments, engaging all three sheet steel layers of the hem as shown in Figure 6, with the
minimum offset as shown in figure 6. The seam attachment, where required, must be in accordance with the appropriate
table, not to exceed 3 feet (914 mm) on center unless noted otherwise.
3
5. Arc seam or spot (puddle) welds must have an effective fusion area to supporting members at least equivalent to /8 inch
1
(10 mm) wide by 1 inch (25 mm) long or /2 inch (13 mm) in diameter.
6. Puddle weld patterns are shown in Figure 3 for Types ASC2, ASC3, B, BR, BF, N, NR, NF, 2W, 2WF, 3W and
3WF decks.
7. Spacing of marginal welds to members parallel to flutes must comply with the following, unless otherwise noted:
a. Arc seam or spot (puddle) welds to members such as chords and to collector elements such as struts or ties must
have a spacing in feet (mm) equal to 35,000(t)/v (For SI: 6,130(t)/v), where:
t = Uncoated base-metal thickness of fluted steel deck, in inches (mm).
v = Actual diaphragm shear at marginal supports or actual shear transferred to collector, in pounds per foot (N/m).
b. Fillet welds to members such as diaphragm chords must have a spacing in feet (mm) equal to 480 (lw)/v (For SI:
84 (lw)/v),
where:
1
lw = Length of weld, in inches (mm) [not less than 1 /2 inches (38 mm)].
v = Actual diaphragm shear to be transferred to chords, in pounds per foot (N/m).
c. Fillet welds attaching the diaphragms to struts, ties or other collector elements must have a spacing in feet (mm)
equal to 300 (lw)/v (For SI: 52.5 lw/v), where v is the actual shear to be transferred to the collector element, in pounds
per foot (N/m).
d. Weld spacing is limited to 3 feet (914 mm), maximum.
8. Regarding attachments at interior lines of shear transfer perpendicular to deck corrugations: The shear transfer from a
diaphragm to interior tie or strut lines perpendicular to deck corrugations must not exceed the shear values indicated in
the tables. Two lines of puddle welds may be used to develop the actual shear transfer to these collector elements.
9. Where individual panels are cut, the partial panel must be fastened in a manner to fully transfer the shears at the point of
the diaphragm to the adjacent full panels for the values specified in the tables.
10. The minimum 28-day compressive strength for structural concrete must be 3,000 psi (20.68 MPa). The appropriate
concrete density (normal weight or structural lightweight) is indicated in the tables. The minimum concrete depth must be
2 inches (51 mm) over the top flange, and the concrete must be reinforced with a minimum 6 × 6 W1.4 × W1.4 welded-
1
wire fabric. The reinforcement must be placed near the center of the fill over the top flange. If the fill exceeds a 3 /4-inch
(83 mm) thickness over the top flange, reinforcement is required in each direction equal to 0.00075 times the area of
concrete fill over the metal deck.
11. All decks with structural concrete fill may be considered to have F < 1.
12. For decks with concrete fill, the diaphragm shear values and flexibility factors apply to deck sections with or without
embossments.
13. Composite deck panel seams must be fastened at 36 inches (914 mm) on center, maximum, to reduce differential
deflection during concrete placement with button punches or screws. DeltaGrip™ seam attachments or welds may be
used to reduce differential deflection with the seam attachments when spaced at a maximum of 60 inches (1524 mm)
on center.
14. For decks with structural concrete fill, the diaphragm shear values and flexibility factors apply whether or not the sidelaps
are attached.
15. For decks with structural concrete fill, the allowable diaphragm shear and flexibility factors apply to galvanized, painted, or
bare steel deck top side with a prime painted underside, commonly referred to as phosphatized/painted steel deck.

For SI: 1 inch = 25.4 mm, 1 foot = 304.8 mm, 1 plf = 14.594 N/m, 1 pcf =16.018 kg/m3, 1 psf = 47.88 Pa, 1 psi = 6894 Pa.
1
Shoring calculations based on deck supporting dead load of concrete plus either 20 psf uniform construction live load or 150
pound-concentrated live load for flexure.
Dead load deflection limited to 1/180 span length, but not to exceed 3/4” inch.
2
Shoring is required at midspan for superimposed load values to the right of the heavy lines in shaded boxes.
3
Steel for deck to have a minimum yield strength of 38,000 psi (Tensile strength = 52,000 psi).
4
Total slab depth is nominal depth from top of concrete to bottom of steel deck.
5
Concrete fill to have minimum compressive strength f’c = 3,000 psi at the age of 28 days.
6
Support reactions for spans due to dead loads and construction live loads may not exceed the values set forth in Table 3.
7
See Figure 3 for attachment patterns
q2 = Allowable diaphragm shear in plf, with two support welds per deck unit.
q3 = Allowable diaphragm shear in plf, with three support welds per deck unit.
q4 = Allowable diaphragm shear in plf, with four support welds per deck unit.
q7 = Allowable diaphragm shear in plf, with seven support welds per deck unit.
8
See Table 18 for diaphragm flexibility limitations. For all concrete filled diaphragms, F is less than 1.
9
LTWT = Structural lightweight.
10
NW = Normal-weight.

TABLE 13—RATIO OF ALLOWABLE DIAPHRAGM SHEARS FOR DECKS WITH CONCRETE FILL ATTACHED TO
SUPPORTS WITH MECHANICAL FASTENERS VERSUS PUDDLE WELDS1,2,3
CONCRETE SLAB THICKNESS OVER TOP OF THE DECK AND CONCRETE TYPE
1
Notes: Substitute one mechanical fastener for each puddle weld shown in the support
weld patterns in Figure 3.
Multiply diaphragm shear values in Tables 7-10 by tabulated ratios above to get
allowable diaphragm shears with mechanical fasteners.
2
HILTI, INC. fasteners are to be installed as described in ESR-2197.
For structural steel supports with minimum thickness of 1/4 inch and greater use
the ENP2-21-L15 fastener.
Fastener spacing, ac, in feet, to diaphragm perimeter members parallel to the
panel shall be:
ac = 18,800 t ( 1 - 4 t ) / q
where: t = thickness of deck in inches
q = required diaphragm shear (Allowable Stress
Design) at shear transfer, in plf
ac < 2.5ft
Fastener spacing, ac, in feet, to diaphragm perimeter members parallel to the
panel shall be:
ac = 11,900 t / q
where: t = thickness of deck in inches
q = required diaphragm shear (Allowable Stress
Design) at shear transfer, in plf
ac < 2.5ft

Allowable superimposed loads are in pounds per square foot. Shoring is required for deck spans to the right of the darkened vertical lines.
2
The concrete shall have a minimum 28 day compressive strength of 3,000 psi.

where:
L = Distance in feet between vertical resisting element (such as shear wall) and the point to which the deflection is to be
determined.
qave = Average shear in diaphragm in pounds per foot over length L.
F = Flexibility factor: The average microinches a diaphragm web will deflect in a span of 1 foot under a shear of 1 pound per
foot.
