Has anyone done a suspended slab under an MRI with composite metal formwork?
Thanks

RE: Do composite metal decks upset MRI machines?
I'd recommend to get the vibration limit from the MRI manufacturer and have a vibration consultant predict whether or not the design will be OK. The limit will be in terms of either a regular narrowband spectrum or a broader-band spectrum such as in one-third octaves, so it will probably be tough to deal with from a typical SE's perspective. However, it can be done. I've done this myself for multiple jobs. Usually, it's a matter of bumping up the sizes, but to extremely large ones required to satisfy Ch. 6.
You could contact the AISC Steel Solutions Center. They might give a list of people who do this sort of thing.

In every case, they had a physicist determine the appropriateness.

If you have to remove magnetic steel from the slab, your options include any of the 300-series stainless steel reinforcing bars or mesh. This allows you to stay consistent with your design strategy.

The MRI guys say that they can handle normal ferrous reo as long as it is in a regular pattern, however we've decided to go with precast floor panels and will probably use 304 stainless anyway as the quantity won't be that great to be prohibitively expensive
