Decking sheets

Composite metal deck is a cost-effective flooring system used in multi story buildings. Floors constructed of composite metal deck ate typically designed such that the corrugated of composite metal deck are typically designed such that the corrugated metal deck will support the weight of fresh concrete and some construction loads without requiring shoring. 
Once the concrete gains strength, the concrete and metal deck act together as a composite member. The metal deck acts as tensile reinforcement for the slab in resistance to positive moment stresses induced by dead and live loads. 
Traditional design practice dictates that minimum reinforcement is required in the transverse direction to control any cracks that may occur due to temperature and shrinkage movements. This minimum requirement for reinforcing has traditionally been addressed via the use of light-gauge welded wire mesh.

There are many advantages to using metal decking.

Steel decks complying with Specifications are available in various depths and rib spacing’s, with and without stiffening elements. With and without stiffening elements, with and without acoustical material, cellular and non-cellular, and in varying material thicknesses. This extensive choice makes steel deck applicable to a wide range of projects and structural designs.

The properties of steel are used with maximum efficiency in the design and fabrication of steel decks, resulting in products with a high strength – to weight ratio. As a result, delivery, erection, and structural framing costs can be lower than with other systems.

Although steel decking is primarily a structural component, it is visually attractive when left exposed in other applications. With the properly specified factory and field coatings, steel deck is easy to maintain, durable, and esthetically pleasing.

Steel deck can be erected in most weather conditions, eliminating the costly delays that can occur with other types of floor and roof systems,

U.L. fire resistance ratings on standard roof and floor assemblies have been obtained by the Steel Deck Institute. Individual Sugam Steel Structures having ratings on their own products. Most fire resistance requirements can be met with products manufactured by Sugam Steel Structures.

Through engineering and continuously refined production techniques, Sugam Steel Structures produce decks that conform to specified standards.

Steel deck in place and performing satisfactorily for more than a half century is indicative of the product’s durability.

Value is determined by combining initial costs, life – cycle costs, and overall performance. Steel deck assemblies are the best value in floor and roof designs. They combine low cost with top performance.
