following shall be submitted in accordance with Section 01335 SUBMITTAL
PROCEDURES FOR DESIGN/BUILD PROJECT:
SD-03 Product Data
Deck Units; G
Design computations for the structural properties of the deck
units or SDI certification that the units are designed in
accordance with SDI specifications.
Include type, configuration, structural properties, and typical
details of deck units, and accessories; typical sizes of holes to
be cut and typical reinforcement to be provided; typical location
and sequence of welded connections; and the manufacturer's
erection instructions.
1.3 DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING
Deck units shall be delivered to the site in a dry and undamaged condition,
stored off the ground with one end elevated, and stored under a
weathertight covering permitting good air circulation. Finish of deck
units shall be maintained at all times by using touch-up paint whenever
necessary to prevent the formation of rust.
PART 2 PRODUCTS
2.1 DECK UNITS
Deck units shall conform to SDI 30 or equivalent DIN, BS, or EN standards.
Panels of maximum possible lengths shall be used to minimize end laps.
Deck units shall be fabricated in lengths to span 3 or more supports with
flush, telescoped, or nested 50 mm laps at ends, and interlocking, or
nested side laps, unless otherwise indicated. Deck with cross-sectional
configuration differing from the units indicated may be used, provided that
the properties of the proposed units, determined in accordance with AISI
SG-973 or equivalent DIN, BS, or EN standards, are equal to or greater than
the properties of the units indicated and that the material will fit the
space provided without requiring revisions to adjacent materials or systems.
2.1.1 Roof Deck
Steel deck shall conform to ASTM A 1008/A 1008M or ASTM A 792/A 792M or
equivalent DIN, BS, or EN standards. Roof deck units shall be fabricated
of 0.75 mm design thickness or thicker steel and shall be zinc-coated in
conformance with ASTM A 653/A 653M, G90 coating class or aluminum-zinc
coated in accordance with ASTM A 792/A 792M Coating Designation AZ55 or
equivalent DIN, BS, or EN standards.
2.2 TOUCH-UP PAINT
Touch-up paint for zinc-coated units shall be an approved galvanizing
repair paint with a high-zinc dust content . Welds shall be touched-up
with paint conforming to SSPC Paint 20 in accordance with ASTM A 780 or
equivalent DIN, BS, or EN standards. Finish of deck units and accessories
shall be maintained by using touch-up paint whenever necessary to prevent
the formation of rust.

2.3 ADJUSTING PLATES
Adjusting plates or segments of deck units shall be provided in locations
too narrow to accommodate full-size units. As far as practical, the plates
shall be the same thickness and configuration as the deck units.
2.4 CLOSURE PLATES
2.4.1 Closure Plates for Roof Deck
Voids above interior walls shall be closed with sheet metal where shown.
Open deck cells at parapets, end walls, eaves, and openings through roofs
shall be closed with sheet metal. Sheet metal shall be same thickness as
deck units.
2.4.1.1 Cover Plates to Close Panels
Cover plates to close panel edge and end conditions and where panels change
direction or abut. Butt joints in composite steel deck may receive a tape
joint cover.
2.4.1.2 Column Closures to Close Openings
Column closures to close openings between steel deck and structural steel
columns.
2.4.1.3 Sheet Metal
Where deck is cut for passage of pipes, ducts, columns, etc., and deck is
to remain exposed, provide a neatly cut sheet metal collar to cover edges
of deck. Do not cut deck until after installation of supplemental supports.
2.5 ACCESSORIES
Accessories shall be manufacturer's standard, furnished as necessary to
complete the deck installation. Metal accessories shall be of the same
material as the deck and have minimum design thickness as follows: saddles,
1.204 mm (0.0474 inch); welding washers, 1.519 mm (0.0598 inch); cant
strip, 0.749 mm (0.0295 inch); other metal accessories, 0.909 mm (0.0358
inch); unless otherwise indicated. Accessories shall include but not be
limited to saddles, welding washers, cant strips, butt cover plates,
underlapping sleeves, and ridge and valley plates.
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 ERECTION
Erection of deck and accessories shall be in accordance with SDI 30, SDI
DDM01 and the approved detail drawings or equivalent DIN, BS, or EN
standards. Damaged deck and accessories including material which is
permanently stained or contaminated, with burned holes or deformed shall
not be installed. The deck units shall be placed on secure supports,
properly adjusted, and aligned at right angles to supports before being
permanently secured in place. The deck shall not be used for storage or as
a working platform until the units have been secured in position. Loads
shall be distributed by appropriate means to prevent damage during
construction and to the completed assembly. The maximum uniform
distributed storage load shall not exceed the design live load. There
shall be no loads suspended directly from the steel deck.

3.2 ATTACHMENTS
Attachments: All fasteners shall be installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommended procedure, except as otherwise specified. The
deck units shall be welded with nominal 16 mm diameter puddle welds to
supports as indicated on the design drawings and in accordance with
requirements of SDI 30 or equivalent DIN, BS, or EN standards. All welding
of steel deck shall be in accordance with AWS D1.3 or equivalent DIN, BS,
or EN standards using methods and electrodes as recommended by the
manufacturer of the steel deck being used. Welds shall be made only by
operators previously qualified by tests prescribed in AWS D1.3 or
equivalent DIN, BS, or EN standards to perform the type of work required.
Welding washers shall not be used at the connections of the deck to
supports. Welding washers shall not be used at sidelaps. Holes and
similar defects will not be acceptable. Deck ends shall be lapped 50 mm .
All partial or segments of deck units shall be attached to structural
supports in accordance with Section 2.5 of SDI DDM01 or equivalent DIN, BS,
or EN standards.
3.3 HOLES AND OPENINGS
All holes and openings required shall be coordinated with the drawings,
specifications, and other trades. Holes and openings shall be drilled or
cut, reinforced and framed as indicated on the drawings or described in the
specifications and as required for rigidity and load capacity. Holes and
openings less than 150 mm across require no reinforcement. Holes and
openings 150 to 300 mm across shall be reinforced by 1.204 mm (0.0474 inch)
thick steel sheet at least 300 mm wider and longer than the opening and
be fastened to the steel deck at each corner of the sheet and at a maximum
of 150 mm on center. Holes and openings larger than 300 mm shall be
reinforced by steel angles installed perpendicular to the steel joists and
supported by the adjacent steel joists. Steel angles shall be installed
perpendicular to the deck ribs and shall be fastened to the angles
perpendicular to the steel joists. Openings must not interfere with
seismic members such as chords and drag struts.
