Atlas Cavity Decking Safeload Tables

Atlas Cavity Decking Safeload Tables

(OP)
I have seen in another topic (that is closed from 2007 - thread507-177268: Turnall Cavity Decking Safeload Tables), that previously some info was shared from vendor catalos of the mid-1970's, specifically an " Atlas-Turner catalog " ... if anyone has info on that, that could be shared it would be greatly appreciated.

What specifically I have is a roof decking system installed in 1977 at an Industrial site. The Decking is described as a "ATLAS CAVITY DECKING" and is shown as being 4 11/16 inches deep. Looking for info on span tables vs. loading and more specifically, any material thicknesses, properties, etc.

Thanks


RE: Atlas Cavity Decking Safeload Tables

ranmoo....you might want to check to see if the Atlas Cavity Decking was actually used. It is a cement-asbestos product that might give you some regulatory problems depending on your locale and prevaling laws regarding asbestos abatement.

Thank you for the insight. Yes, I am aware of the possibility / probability of the issue you stated. Still hoping to see some data from the vendor, and it looked like the referenced 2007 eng-tips post may have shared some of that info. THANKS AGAIN
