openings on roof deck
(OP)
We need to make some openings on a metal roof deck (1970, 18ga, 1.5"B). What is the effect of these new openings on the deck in terms of strength decrease? I read in an old catalog that openings cannot sum up to more than 0.5% of the entire deck area, but I haven't read that anywhere else.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
