Does anyone know of a limit on the aspect ratio for a steel deck with out any topping? (Roof deck.)

RE: Aspect Ratio
As an aside: Remember that limiting your aspect ratio is almost never realistic... You really need to ensure your total system (steel deck and the supporting structure - ie: beams, girders & columns) are suitable against serviceability. In the case of a floor system, and probably quite adaptable for a roof situation, your best best is to look at the CISC/AISC Design Guide 11 - Floor Vibrations Due to Human Activity. It's available for purchase from AISC's online store. Pub. No. D811 (10M797).
