steel roof deck archive info?

steel roof deck archive info?

steel roof deck archive info?

(OP)
I have to analyze and existing school cafeteria roof for the possible addition of a photovoltaic panel array.

The school was built in MA in 1951, and the roof deck spans 20 feet, and appears similar to a J series long span deck, only inverted (with the wide ribs down).

The plan is to get profile dimensions and calculate properties using conservative material estimates, but it would be helpful to know if any archives etc. exist to possibly get manufacturers literature...

Any help or insight would be appreciated-  MB

RE: steel roof deck archive info?

There are a lot of resources here.  

Get more specific information and post it here.  We'll probably be able to help.
