What is steel decking?
Steel deck is made by cold forming structural grade sheet steel into a repeating pattern of parallel ribs. The strength and stiffness of the panels are a result of the shape of the ribs and the mate- rial properties of the steel. Deck lengths can be varied to suit job conditions but, because of shipping considerations, are usually less than 40’.
How are shear connectors attached to a concrete beam?
The composite interaction is achieved by the attachment of shear connectors to the top flange of the beam. These connectors generally take the form of headed studs.
