Hoasote Firestall Roof Deck
Hoasote Firestall Roof Deck
(OP)
Has anyone used this product as a structural diaphragm? The data available seems to be limited to two test results and does not contain the typical span/shear charts versus connection schedules that I am accustom to seeing. The architect is proposing to use this deck as a single element diaphragm, as opposed to using a structural steel deck under the nail-able deck. I'm being asked to render an opinion. Any thoughts/comments are greatly appreciated!

The product may be acceptable for low shear values. The project in question is a 30,000 SF facility and I anticipate significant diaphragm shears.
