Tie force method for metal roof deck
Tie force method for metal roof deck
(OP)
Under the new UFC 4-023-03 (July 2009), there is a rotation requirement of .20 radians for the members acting as ties in the floors and roof (tie force method). This seems to force us to use rebars for ties in the floors. What about the roof? Does this mean we have to have concrete on the roof? Does anyone have any experience with this?

Project factors such as area of roof, type of contract, and schedule will factor in as to what your best solution will be.
