Benefits of Composite Decking Sheets
Composite construction has helped support the importance of steel frames in the industry. The industrial building sector in India. The composite construction’s prime benefits are:
Safety of Decking sheets
The decking can act as a safety canopy, providing a secure operating platform and preventing workers below from falling objects from above.
Decking Sheet Save in weight
The composite deck structure is stronger and more durable than many other floor structures, which can reduce the weight and size of the primary structure. Therefore, the size of the foundation can also be reduced.
Decking Sheet Save in transport
Decking sheets are lightweight and come in pre-cut lengths tightly packed in bundles. Typically, a truck can transport more than 1000m2 of the decking. As a result, fewer deliveries are needed compared to other forms of constructions.
Decking sheet provide Sustainability
The steel can be recycled without having to diminish its inherent properties. This makes the composite steel frame construction a more stable solution. “Sustainability” is an important basis for clients, and at least 94% of all steel products for construction can be recycled or re-applied when a building is demolished.
Decking sheets are Easy for installation of services
Cable trays and pipes can be suspended from hangers that use special “dovetail” recesses, which are rolled into decking profiles to facilitate the installation of services such as electricity, telephone, and a network cable for I.T. The hangers also allow easy installation of false ceilings and ventilation equipment.
Decking has Shallower construction
The hardness and resistance to bending of the composite beams mean you can finish shallow floors better than non-composite construction. This can mean smaller floor heights, more space to accommodate low-floor services or multiple floors at the same overall height. This is especially true for slim-floor construction where the depth of the beam is carried within the depth of the slab.
Decking Sheet provides Structural stability
On condition that decking fixings are made and specified to carry the load, the decking is effective lateral restraint for the purlin. Additionally, the decking can be designed as a large floor to deflect the wind load during construction, and the composite slabs can act as a diaphragm in the final design. The floor structure is solid due to the extension attained of the multiple decking, supports, concrete and main structure.
Decking Sheet provide Speed of construction
Multiple decking can be mounted on the structure using a crane and every sheet itself is fixed by hand. This process reduces crane time and allows one crew to install over 350m2 of decking per day, depending on the shape and size of the building. Using the decking as a platform works quickly for construction. You can pour a large area of the floor fast. Floors can be concreted in rapid succession. The use of fibred reinforced concrete can further reduce the program, as the reinforcement installation period is significantly reduced.
Decking Sheets and shear stud
Hot rolled steel sections of the decking sheets act together with a concrete slab. The shear studs are necessary to transmit the force between the steel section and the concrete slab. The sheer connectors provide longitudinal sheer connection to steel part and concrete, which become studs that are welded on top of steel part. All connectors must be able to withstand the uplifting force caused by likelihood of the slabs to disconnect from the beam as it bends. For Shear studs, this is done from the head of the stud. The shear studs are usually welded to the beam along the deck sheet. This allows the concrete slab to form a large top flange for the composite beam as the concrete hardens and creates a strong section to support the finished slab loadings.
