ponding allowance for concrete on metal deck
ponding allowance for concrete on metal deck
(OP)
what kind of allowance should be made for additional concrete as the metal deck deflects when the concrete is poured? The kind of floor I'm talking about has steel beams, metal floor deck and concrete fill. It's been a while, but I seem to remember allowing for an additional 5 psf of dead load due to ponding concrete.

5 psf is what I remember, but I was curious as to what others did. Most of my multi-story buildings have been designed with wood for a long time now, and I've gotten a little rusty (no pun intended) with steel framed floors.
