Point Load on Metal deck w/ concrete
Point Load on Metal deck w/ concrete
(OP)
Hello all,
So I have a point load on a metal deck with concerete. I will definately check punching shear but I wanted to check if bending was ok. I have attached a calculation showing what I did to find the bending capacity. Let me know if you think this makes sense, I used a 12" strip. Also, if yoy guys have other methods that would help to.

I've saved the printouts so I don't have the website, but it should be quick to find. I'd follow their procedure.

In CANAM phiMno is given in their steel deck catalog. I am using VERCO, if I dig around I can probably find something near what I am using in CANPRO I guess.
Steellion,
I like that idea.

I think if I check only the 3 1/4" for punching shear, that will eliminate any possibility of web crippling on the deck?

Where in the VERCO catalog do they recommend that? I would like to see it for reference.

See page 7 in the Verco Steel Floor Deck. I talked with the Verco engineer about the capacity (flat line). Makes sense- similar to wide flange beam you have the same moment capacity and shear capacity any point along the beam assuming everything is laterally braced, etc.
