Parking Garage - traditional reinforced CIP flat plate w/ composite steel beams
(OP)
Does anyone have any insight to designing a steel-framed open deck parking garage using composite steel beams with a traditional reinforced CIP flat plate (no post tensioning).
Our customer would like a steel and CIP solution. However, he would like to not deal with the possible maintenance associated metal deck and the possability of rusting. Additionally, he does not want a post tensioned slab.
AISC Design Guide 18 list numerous configurations, reinfoced flat plate & composite beam design is not listed. The only specifically mentiong tensioning and CIP over metal deck.
Any thoughts or direction to additional materials would be very appreciated.

Are there any major comparable inefficiencies with the flat slab system if it is properly designed? Or any major pitfalls that are not appearant that you are aware of.

Here's an interesting article discussing fire protection:

Consider galvanizing the frame if you are near a coast or where roads are salted.
