DECK
The Roof Deck types in this manual are designed to
accommodate built-up roof systems. The rib openings
allow the use of a wide range of insulation boards. Spans
up to 10' (3m) can be accomplished with 1½" (38mm)
deck; 3" (75mm) can carry roof loads up to 15' (4.5m)
spans; and, the deep decks are usable up to 34' (10m).

Maximum Spans
Maximum recommended SDI spans (and cantilevers) for roofing applications are shown
on pages 5 and 7. Deck used for purposes (such as siding or shelving) may have
different stress or deflection limits - special tables can be prepared on request. The
Factory Mutual (FM) maximum spans are for class I roof construction. At this time FM
does not list 3" (75 mm) deck in their Approval Guide.
Acoustic Deck
Types B and N are available as acoustic decks. The holes in the deck web will not
significantly reduce the deck strength, but it is estimated that the stiffness for both vertical
and horizontal (diaphragm) loads will be reduced by about 5%.

Insulation
Insulation board should have sufficient strength and stiffness to span the rib openings.
Cementitious insulation fills should only be used with galvanized deck and must be
adequately vented. Vented B deck is available. (See the form deck section in this
manual for other vented products.)
Special Finishes
Special colors or finishes can be provided for all roof deck sections shown in this
catalog. (The standard paint is a topcoat primer - see the specifications for the description).
In order to provide a “finish’’ coat at an economical price, the order should be a minimum
of 2300 square meters.
When installing deck with a special finish, screwed side laps are recommended, and in most
instances, screws, pneumatic, or powder driven fasteners should be used at the supports.
Fasteners
Although welds are the most common fastenings of roof deck to bar joists or
structural steel, other fastening methods are acceptable. Powder or pneumatically
driven pins and self drilling screws are also frequently used. Uplift and shear
values for these fasteners can be obtained from the fastener manufacturer. Weld
washers are not necessary and are not recommended for the roof deck gages (22
and heavier) shown in this manual.
Diaphragms
Diaphragm strengths and stiffnesses based on the SDI Diaphragm Design
Manual are available.
Tolerance
The standard length tolerance for roof deck panels is plus or minus 13 mm. The
base steel thickness tolerance is minus 5% as per the SDI and AISI.

Suggested Roof Deck Specifications
1. Material and Design - Steel roof deck shall be B, F, N, J or H profiles
as manufactured by United Steel Deck, Inc. and shall be made from steel conforming
to ASTM Designations A611 Grade C, D or E (for painted deck) or A653 Grade (230)
(min.) for galvanized deck. The deflection of the deck under design live load shall not
exceed 1/240 of the span.
Section properties used in determining stress and deflection shall have been
calculated in accordance with the American Iron and Steel Institute’s Specification
for the Design of Cold Formed Steel Structural Members, and shall be certified
by the Steel Deck Institute. Coefficients for moments and deflections shall conform

phosphatized steel. (This prime coat is intended to protect the steel for only a
short period of exposure in ordinary atmospheric conditions and must be
considered an impermanent coating).

phosphatized galvanized steel. Galvanizing shall conform to ASTM A653 coating
class Z90, Z180or Z275.

Manual of Construction with Steel Deck. Cutting openings through the deck
less than 2.5 square meters in area, and all skew cutting, shall be performed in
the field. Arc puddle welds shall be at least 15 mm in diameter, or elongated,
having an equal perimeter. Fillet welds (when used) shall be approximately 25
mm long. Weld metal shall penetrate all layers of deck material at end laps and
side joints and have good fusion to the supporting members. Fastening at
supports shall be at all edge ribs plus a sufficient number of interior ribs to limit the
maximum spacing between adjacent points of attachments to 457 mm (200 mm
for NDeck). Side laps of individual sheets must be fastened together between
supports for spans greater than 1.5 m; the fastener spacing shall not exceed 1 m
on center. End laps (when required) of sheets shall be a minimum of 50 mm and
shall occur over supports (J, H, BI and NI deck ends shall be butted, not

NOTES:
Tables show stress load/deflection load. Deflection is limited to L/240. Stress loads controlled by bending are shown in bold italics, all others are controlled by
bearing 75mm (R1). The cellular gage combination shows top hat/bottom plate. R2 = 100mm bearing; R3 = 125mm bearing.
Spans are in millimeters.
