Floor Deck Sheets

The floor consists of a profiled sheet onto which a layer of concrete is poured. The sheet is bonded to the concrete through mouldings that prevent horizontal slipping and vertical detachment. During the initial hardening phase (Stage 1), the sheet solely supports the weight of the concrete, personnel, and equipment. Once the concrete has hardened (Stage 2), the sheet and concrete form a unified bond, exhibiting the characteristics of traditional reinforced concrete, with the sheet acting as metal reinforcement. Appropriate crop ends must be provided to absorb negative moments. This solution is offered by BSSM INFRA.

Applications

Reduced Concrete Usage: Tensile steel for composite slab construction minimizes slab thickness and reduces the dead weight of buildings, offering a more sustainable solution and lowering costs.

  • No separate formwork is required for slab casting.
  • Construction time is significantly reduced.

The technical department at BSSM INFRA provides comprehensive advisory services on the design of composite flooring. For any queries not covered by this literature, please feel free to contact us.

Benefits of Metal Decking

Lightweight and requiring no additional support, this system significantly decreases concrete usage and slab thickness.

  • Functions as a composite member and serves as permanent shuttering.
  • Minimal reinforcement is needed.
  • The deck can be utilized as a working platform during construction.
  • Accelerated construction leads to faster project completion.
  • Reduced decking time lowers overall construction costs.
