Roof Deck Design - Crushing
Roof Deck Design - Crushing
(OP)
I am designing a cribbing layout for an existing roof where repairs are needed and I am worried about crushing the existing deck.
Due to the loads, I have 6x6 timbers at 2'-0" OC with 3/4" plywood on top of 1.5B, 22Ga Deck. How do I check the "crushing" capacity of the roof deck?
Thanks

Otherwise, if you know the manufacturer of the deck, you might want to go to their technical experts and ask the question for their specific product.

Scroll down to the deck area and there are two pdf downloads called "Avoid the Crunch".
These are tables of metal deck capacity against crushing under concentrated loads. Might be applicable to your situation.
