conditions like high wind loads , shock or fatigue may require a different safety factor . Wood or steel members connected to the substrate must be investigated in accordance with accepted design criteria . 2 Multiple fasteners are recommended for any attachment . 3 The steel deck profile for the 3 ” deep composite floor deck has a minimum thickness of 20 gauge ( 0.0358 ”) and a minimum Fy = 33 ksi . Lower and upper flute width must be a minimum of 3-7 / 8 ”. Figure 1 in Fastener
Locations When Installing into Lightweight Concrete Over Metal Deck shows the nominal flute dimensions , fastener locations and load orientations for the deck profile . Structural lightweight concrete fill above top of steel deck must be minimum 3-1 / 4 ". 4 The steel deck profile for the 1-1 / 2 ” deep composite floor deck has a minimum thickness of 20 gauge ( 0.0358 ”) and a minimum Fy = 33 ksi . Lower flute and upper flute widths must be a minimum of 1-3 / 4 ” and 3-1 / 2 ”,
respectively . This deck may also be inverted as shown inFigure 2 in Fastener Locations When Installing into Lightweight Concrete Over Metal Deck . Figure 1 and Figure 3 in Fastener Locations When Installing into Lightweight Concrete Over Metal Deck show the nominal flute dimensions , fastener locations and load orientations for the deck profile . Structural lightweight concrete fill above top of steel deck must be minimum 2-1 / 2 ”. 5 For installation in the lower flute only .
