The base steel shall have a minimum yield stress of 550 Mpa and minimum coating mass of 275 gsm. - 0.75mm thick CONDECK Panels by Construction Decking System International Corporation or equivalent. In case of other systems, submit technical literature and sample to the Engineer for review and
67
appropriate design modification. PART 3 3.01 EXECUTION INSTALLATION
Cutting and Openings Structural decking can be cut using a power saw with suitable disk. When cutting, the panels should be turned over with the ribs downward. If holes or openings are required, these are classified as follows: a. Less than 250mm (measured at right angles) requires no special treatment. These holes or openings are usually for passage of other trades or alternately they can be formed prior to the concrete pour, and once the concrete has attained 70% of its design strength, the panel can then be cut out by a hole saw or drill. For openings of 250-750mm the decking can be reinforced prior to the concrete pour by using reinforcing bars or small channels, welded to the panel around the perimeter of the opening; this distributes the loads to the adjoining panels. For large predetermined openings greater than 750mm, such as for stairs, elevators, etc., the most practical method generally is to supply supplemental framing to the support system for the structural decking.
b.
c.
Fixings Deckings shall be accurately aligned, side laps fully lapped and the gap between the abutting ends kept to a minimum. Panels should be aligned over the support ensuring a minimum end bearing of 50mm by sliding them into place with adjacent panels hard up against the precious one and the rib overlapping the adjacent panel's rib. After panels have been placed over the supports, they should be secured immediately against wind lift. Where panels are acting as a work platform, care should be taken not to overload panel after they have been erected. Heavy points should be distributed by means of timber planking. Fix panels by use of nail directly to beam formwork. Propping One or two lines of temporary props may be required in accordance with manufacturer's recommendation or as shown in the drawings. Propping shall consist of timber supported by a line of props adjusted to prevent settlement during the concrete placement and curing. The propping must be designed to support the weight of wet concrete plus a temporary construction load.
68
Provide caneite or similar materials between the props and panels to reduce the effect of propping line since the exposed soffit will be used as ceiling. Propping may be erected before or after the installation of the decking and should be left until the concrete has reached sufficient strength of at least 70% of its design strength. Side Lap Joints Side lap shall be fastened by 16mmXgalO Hex head self drilling and tapping screws which can be placed either through the side or through the top of the ribs at quarter points of the span. 3.02 Negative and Secondary Reinforcements Negative and secondary reinforcements shall be provided in accordance with the drawings. Sufficient tied lap splices shall be provided in both direction. 3.03 Inspection No concreting shall begin until lapping, reinforcement placement and connectors have been inspected and approved by the Engineer. 3.04 Concrete Placing Decking panels must be clear of grease, oil and dirt. The concrete should be placed continuously and if the placing is interrupted, the construction joints should be provided by stop boards located over supporting beams. The concrete should be placed in accordance with Section 03300 of this specifications. In addition, pouring shall be done parallel to the panels, this is very important!

Make surface to be welded free from scale, slag, rust, grease, paint and any other foregoing material except that mill scale which withstands vigorous wire brushing may remain. Prepare edges by gas cutting, whenever practicable, cut by a mechanically guided torch. Let gas cut edges which will be subjected to substantial stress or which are to have weld metal deposited on them be free from gouges. Remove by grinding any gouges that remain from cutting. Shape all re-entrant corners notch free to be a radius of at least 12mm. Bring in to a close contact as practicable parts to be fillet welded and in no event separate by more than 5mm. If the separation is 1.5mm or greater, increase the size of the fillet welds by the amount of the separation. Never exceed the separation between laying surfaces of lap joints and butt joints on a backing structure by 1.5mm. Bring the fit of joints at contact surfaces which are not completely sealed by welds, close enough to exclude water after painting. Align all abutting parts to be welded carefully. Correct misalignment greater than 3mm and in making the correction, never draw parts into a slope sharper than two (2) degrees (11mm in 300mm). Position the work for flat welding whenever practicable. In assembling and joining parts of structure or of built-up members, avoid needless distortion and minimize shrinkage stresses. Where it is impossible to avoid high residual stresses in the closing welds of a rigid assembly, make closing welds in compression elements. In the fabrication of cover plated beams and build-up members, make all shop splices in each component part before such component part is welded to other parts of the member.

Let all complete penetration butt welds by manual welding except when produced with the aid of backing material or welded in the flat position from both sides in square-edge material not more than 8mm thick with opening not less than one-half the thickness of the thinner parts joined, have the root of the initial layer gouged out on the back side before welding is started on that side. Weld so as top secure sound metal and complete fusion throughout the entire crosssection. With butt welds made with use of a backing of the same material as the base metal, have the weld metal thoroughly fused with the backing material. Backing strips may be removed by gouging or gas cutting after welding is completed, provided no injury is done to the base metal and weld metal. Terminate butt welds at the ends of a joint in a manner that will ensure soundness. Where possible, do by the use of extension bars or run-off plates. Remove extension bars or run-off plates upon completion of the weld. Make the ends of the weld smooth and flushed with abutting parts.
