composite floor deck dynamic load

(OP)
I am curious if anyone may have any publications they can recommend for composite metal deck subjected to vertical impact type loading. I have not been able to find much or anything with respect to this, other than statements about forktruck type loading as outlined in ANSI/SDI C-2011.

RE: composite floor deck dynamic load

Many years ago when composite deck first came out, I had obtained a number of articles summarizing various research results on this subject. If I recall correctly, the decks with indentations did not preform very well under repeated loading (like a forktruck). They would eventually come loose from the concrete. The deck with wires welded to the deck performed better.
