Optimized Steel Deck Design, a WebReach with New Millennium

Description

About This Program

The seminar discusses sustainability as a building material and design component. Advancements have drastically reduced energy consumption in steel production, in addition to having a ready supply of recycled stock for the array of future structural products. Learning about the range of deck types, applications, and accessories will give the designer a toolkit for exploring creative solutions in their work. Designs can take advantage of the long-span capabilities and acoustical qualities, along with high-performance coatings for the range of environments.

Session Takeaways

Know the range of roof deck and composite floor deck options, including Architectural Deck.
Understand acoustical, fire rating, and paint performance characteristics.
Explore accessories and detailing considerations for efficient construction and optimal framing studies.
