Blast design for roofs
Blast design for roofs
(OP)
Our office is in the process of designing a small tiltup with very low blast. Our question is with the roof. We are planning on using concrete over metal pan because the metal deck manufacturer does not have specs for blast. Has anyone crossed this path? Is there any design proceedures or examples to help with this?

What are you doing for blast relief venting?
I have used concrete over steel deck for blast rooms in the past, but attaching to tilt panels makes me nervous.

Otherwise, if you still want to use concrete over the metal pan, you can buy PCA's "Blast Resistant Design Guide" which has some good examples that might be helpful.
