Epicore Deck

Epicore Deck

I am trying to find allowable cantilever lengths for Epicore 3.5 deck. Has anyone used this product before and can point me to the right direction. I already called their engineering support and I am hard time getting hold of them. Appreciate your help. Thanks.

RE: Epicore Deck

Unfamiliar with the system, but based on the website it's concrete poured over a metal deck. If this is the case, for a cantilever the deck will likely add comparatively little capacity, and you can simply calculate the strength of the concrete section + whatever top reinforcement exists.

RE: Epicore Deck

Get in touch with their head-office and ask for the representative (that covers your area) to get in touch with you. I have found that working through a representative works a lot more effective than talking to their engineering department directly.

I hope this helps.

The Epicore 3.5" deck has both floor and roof applications. Apparently their website has very little documentation even after you register with them. I finally managed to get in touch with the area representative who had one of their engineering people call our office. They provided the info I was looking for. Thanks for your help.
