Mezzanine Floor Framing
Mezzanine Floor Framing
(OP)
I am designing a small 1000 sf free-standing mezzanine floor for restaurant use. I am curious about the advantages of bar joist w/metal deck & concrete VS. W-Section w/metal deck & concrete. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I would assume that you would experiance more vibration issues with the bar joist/metal deck vs the W-section/metal deck option.

You might want to consider using a pre-fab mezzanine (google it).
All kinds of decks may be used. Cheapest is usually plywood over metal roof deck. Wood use may downrate your building so be aware of that.

You have to have a welder on-site with the metal deck welding anyway, so use the steel studs, partial composite should be sufficient.
