1.4
DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING
Deliver deck units to the site in a dry and undamaged condition. Store and
handle steel deck in a manner to protect it from corrosion, deformation,
and other types of damage. Do not use decking for storage or as working
platform until units have been fastened into position. Exercise care not
to damage material or overload decking during construction. The maximum
uniform distributed storage load shall not exceed the design live load.
Stack decking on platforms or pallets and cover with weathertight
ventilated covering. Elevate one end during storage to provide drainage.
Maintain deck finish at all times to prevent formation of rust. Repair
deck finish using touch-up paint. Replace damaged material.

MATERIALS
2.1.1
Steel Sheet
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Minimum metal thickness should be 0.35 mm
0.014 inches for form decks and 0.75 mm 0.028 inches
for roof and composite decks. However, for
corrosive exposures, consider 0.92 mm 0.034 inch
minimum thickness.
**************************************************************************
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Include requirements for acoustical steel
deck when required by the design, otherwise delete.
Acoustical steel deck is designed to serve as a
sound absorbing ceiling as well as a structural
deck. Acoustical noncellular steel roof deck is
identical in appearance to standard steel roof deck
(noncellular) except that the webs of the ribs are
perforated to receive fiber glass sound absorbing
material, in roll form, placed between the
perforated ribs. Acoustical noncellular roof deck
should not be used without modifying FM or UL
requirements for roof decks in Division 07.
Acoustical cellular steel deck is identical in
appearance to cellular steel deck, except that the
steel bottom plate (ceiling) is perforated. In
addition, acoustical deck serves as both a deck and
acoustical ceiling (in lieu of a separate finished
acoustical ceiling) where noise levels are to be
controlled. Include cover plates when cellular deck
is specified. Include 50 mm 2 inch end laps for
non-cellular deck.
**************************************************************************
Flat rolled carbon steel sheets of structural quality, [thickness not less
than [indicated] [0.75] [_____] mm [0.028] [_____] inch before coating,]
meeting the requirements of AISI SG-973, except as modified herein. [For
acoustical steel deck units, provide perforated sheets with 4 mm 5/32 inch
diameter holes staggered 10 mm 3/8 inch on-centers.]
