THE PRODUCT
COMFLOR® is a registered trademark of BMP, and provides a composite slab solution for spans up to 11 m (36 ft). COMFLOR®
is a unique deep deck composite cold formed galvanised steel profile. The COMFLOR® composite slab system is well suited to
spanning between cold formed steel, concrete or masonry loadbearing walls, or between hot rolled steel or concrete beams.
This versatility means that COMFLOR® is an ideal floor system for low, medium and high rise buildings where non-combustible
construction, a thin floor profile, or long clear spans are required.
S CO P E O F T H I S C ATA LO G U E
This catalogue provides technical and structural information for the COMFLOR® composite concrete slab system. All calculations,
whenever applicable, were based on CSA Standard S1361 and CSSBI documents2,3,4. Design load tables are also presented, as
well as various construction applications to assist the designer in detailing common structural assemblies. Additional assistance
regarding the COMFLOR® composite slab system construction method may be obtained by contacting the BMP sales office in
your area.
The structural load tables and technical information contained in this catalogue were prepared by Dr. R.M. Schuster, P.Eng.,
Professor Emeritus of Structural Engineering at the University of Waterloo.

• Unshored spans of up to 5 m (16.4 ft) can be achieved using normal density concrete.

• The COMFLOR® composite slabs have a relatively light self-weight when compared to either reinforced concrete or pre-cast
units, resulting in potential savings in both steel and foundation costs.
• The COMFLOR® steel deck provides a safe working platform during construction, and also functions as a safe and dry cover
for people working underneath.
• Apart from the inherent composite action of the embossed COMFLOR® deck, every rib element of the slab is further reinforced
with a single steel reinforcing bar. This not only provides additional structural strength to the slab, but also results in improved fire
resistance performance.
• It is possible to accommodate services within the profile depth, and the geometry of the slab ribs allows for transverse
services shown on the Service Hole Table, on page 37.
• Ceilings can easily be suspended directly from the profile troughs, which at 610 mm (24 in.) on centre, ideally line up with
standard ceiling tile grids.
• The long span decking allows for maximum architectural design freedom while maintaining steel deck advantages with
regard to service penetrations and on-site fastening flexibility. Due to the reduced number of beams, the number of
connections and fasteners is also reduced.
• The overall building cost can be reduced due to the fast-track construction.
• The COMFLOR® slab has an inherent fire resistance of up to 120 minutes without additional fire protection (ULC D500).
• Contact BMP regarding additional advantages and information.

• Steel deck meets the requirements of ASTM A653 Standard Specification of Steel Sheet, Zinc-coated (Galvanized) by the Hot-
dip Process, Structural (Physical) Quality. Guaranteed minimum yield strength is 280 MPa (40.6 ksi) with a minimum zinc
coating mass of 275 g/m2 (G90) total both sides. Steel deck base thickness is 0.96 mm (0.0378 in.) or 1.21 mm (0.0476 in.).
• Reinforcing steel meets the requirements of CAN/CSA G30.18-M19925. Guaranteed minimum yield strength is 400 MPa (58.0 ksi).
The clear distance of each reinforcing bar from the bottom of the steel deck is 40 mm (1.57 in.).
• Concrete is assumed to have a minimum cylinder strength of 30 MPa (4.35 ksi) with a maximum aggregate size of 20 mm
(0.75 in.). Normal density structural concrete is 2400 kg/m3 (150 lb/ft3).
L I M I T S TAT E S D E S I G N ( L S D )
• Strength – Limit states design principles were used in the development of the structural load tables, i.e., the factored
resistance under consideration, φR ≥ the effect of the factored loads. This is in accordance with the National Building Code
of Canada, 19956. Since the self weight of the steel deck and the concrete have already been included in the structural load
tables, the maximum specified load (from the appropriate structural table) shall be:
≥ (LL + 1.25/1.5DL),
where LL - Specified live load
DL - Specified superimposed dead load
1.25 - Dead load factor
1.5 - Live load
• Serviceability – If deflection controls, the maximum specified load (from the
appropriate structural table) shall be:
≥ (LL + DL).
SECTION PROPERTIES OF STEEL DECK

All structural section properties of the steel deck were calculated in accordance with
CSA Standard S136-941. See page 5 for section properties and cross section details.
S T R U C T U R A L LOA D TA B L E S
The structural load tables provide maximum specified loads and were established in
accordance with CSSBI 12M-963 and CSSBI S3-20024.
D E S I G N C R I T E R I A A N D T E C H N I C A L DATA
• Shoring During Construction

Shoring requirements for the steel deck during construction were established in
accordance with CSSBI 12M-963. The following strength and deflection criteria were used:
Strength – Calculations were based on the combined loads due to the wet concrete,
the steel deck and certain construction live loads. The minimum construction live
loads applied separately are:
1) 1 kPa (21 psf) uniform load.
2) 2 kN/m (137 lb/ft) transverse line load at the centre of the span.
Serviceability – Calculated deflections were based on the uniform load of concrete
slab and steel deck and the maximum deflections were limited to L/180 or
20 mm (0.787 in.).
Presented in the COMFLOR® composite slab load tables are two maximum
unshored span conditions, i.e.,
1) Maximum Unshored Span – based on the above stated strength and
serviceability criteria.
2) Maximum Unshored Span – based on the above stated strength and
serviceability criteria, except a 2 kPa (42 psf) uniform load was used instead of
1 kPa (21 psf). This was done because in some jurisdictions a 2 kPa (42 psf)
uniform live load is required.
4 At the top of each structural load table, two maximum unshored span
conditions are given. Using this information, one can determine the number
of shores required for any given span condition.
• Load Tables
Both strength and deflection criteria were considered in accordance with CSSBI S3-20024, as follows.
Strength – Flexure was the only criteria considered in the calculations since shear-bond is not a mode of failure. In
accordance with Table 4.1.6.10 of the National Building Code of Canada, 19956, a 9 kN (2023 lb) specified concentrated live
load was included in the strength calculations.
Serviceability – Calculated deflections due to specified superimposed loads (LL + DL) were based on a uniform load with
the maximum deflection limited to L/360. The modular ratio for normal density concrete was taken as 10 and the moment of
inertia is the average of the uncracked and cracked moment of inertias. For use of the deflection parameter, SLDP, see
example on page 5. To determine the deflection due to the slab weight, see page 42.
Use of Load Tables – See example on page 6 for use of structural load tables.
STRUCTURAL TESTING
Structural COMFLOR® composite slab tests were carried out at the University of Salford, England by Prof. D. O’Leary (April, 1993).
Based on these tests, shear-bond was not a mode of failure. Typically, composite slab systems fail in shear-bond. However, since
the COMFLOR® composite slab system also has reinforcing steel, shear-bond is not a governing failure mode.

Determine the specified live load that can be placed on the COMFLOR® composite slab,
given the following information:
GIVEN:
Steel deck - Base steel design thickness = 1.21 mm; yield strength = 280 MPa
Reinforcing steel - Nominal bar diameter = 15 mm; yield strength = 400 MPa
Concrete - Normal density = 2400 kg/m3
Overall slab depth = 260 mm
Single span length = 5.5 m (one shore required)
Specified superimposed dead load:
a) floor finish = 0.4 kPa
b) partitions = 0.7 kPa
DL = 1.1 kPa
U S E O F LOA D TA B L E :
The maximum specified load in (kPa) from load table shall be: ≥ (LL + 1.25/1.5 DL),
Where
LL = Specified live load
DL = Specified superimposed dead load.
From the load table on page 13, the maximum specified load is 8.15 kPa, therefore,
8.15 ≥ (LL + 1.25/1.5 DL),
and the specified live load is
LL = 8.15 – (1.25/1.5)(1.1) = 7.23 kPa
NOTE: The self-weight of the steel deck, the reinforcing bar and the concrete have already been accounted for in the load tables
for strength requirements only.

CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES
D E C K I N G I N S TA L L AT I O N
COMFLOR® PANEL DECKING – shall be positively fastened to the supporting structure to avoid movement during construction
and excessive deflection during placement of concrete. The fastening frequency of main fasteners is 1 per trough at each panel
end at 610 mm (24 in.) on centre along the support structure. The COMFLOR® deck panels shall bear a minimum of 50 mm (2
in.) onto the support structure. When fastening panels to structural steel work, use heavy-duty shotfired pins or self-drilling
fasteners as designed and specified by the engineer of record. For brick, block and concrete, the decking shall be fastened
using adequate masonry fasteners as designed and specified by the engineer of record. In addition to the main fasteners, the
top flanges of the End Closures shall be fastened to the decking, one fastener per module, either centred or 610 mm (24 in.)
on centre. Side-lap Washers shall be fastened at 350 mm (13.8 in.) centres
along the bottom trough, using No. 12 x 25.4 mm (1 in.) self-drilling fasteners or
better. The location of the fasteners is prepunched on the male trough flange,
which overlaps the female trough flange.
NOTE 1: Every side-lap fastener shall include a Side-lap Washer. This washer
is required to properly attach the individual steel deck panels together.
NOTE 2: When a suspended ceiling is used, the minimum thread length of the
fastener is 25 mm (1 in.).
The bottom flange of the End Closure shall be fastened to the supporting
structure with 1 fastener per module at 610 mm (24 in.) on centre, or as specified
by the engineer of record.
END CLOSURES – To minimise grout loss at the profile ends during concrete
placement, End Closures are provided to contain the concrete. These closures
are manufactured from 1.52 mm (0.060 in.) galvanised steel, generally 1830
mm (6 ft) long or longer for angle cut installations. End Closures shall be
fastened to the support structure at maximum intervals of 610 mm (24 in.),
using shot-fired pins, self-drilling fasteners or as specified by the engineer of
record. Apart from minimising grout loss during concrete placement, these
End Closures provide strength to prevent web crippling of the steel deck and 27
proper alignment of the decking during construction. When used in
conjunction with hot-rolled steel beams, these End Closures provide concrete
cover to the steel beam for fire resistance.
SIDE-LAP WASHERS – Since the COMFLOR® deck acts in part compositely with
the concrete, Side-lap Washers are important connecting elements. These
washers are prepunched to receive the self-drilling fastener.
CANTILEVERS – COMFLOR® decking can be end cantilevered as shown in the

“Examples of Construction Applications” section. When side cantilevers are
required, stub beams or brackets shall be provided by the structural steel
fabricator, as designed by the engineer of record. Cantilevers shall also be
assessed for reinforcement by the engineer of record.
PERIMETER TRIMS – Are required for the retention of wet concrete to the correct level
at the decked floor perimeters and designed openings. They are supplied in 3 m (10
ft) lengths of galvanised steel. Perimeter Trims are usually fastened by shot-fired pins
to the structural steel or by self-drilling fasteners to the support structure at 610 mm (24
in.) on centre, or as specified by the engineer of record.
RESTRAINT STRAPS – The top of the perimeter edge trim is connected to the decking
with Restraint Straps at approximately 400 mm (16 in.) on centre using either pop
rivets or self-drilling fasteners. The Restraint Strap can be adjusted to suit the pitch and
alignment of the perimeter edge trim.
PENETRATIONS – Penetrations through the floor decking shall be cut after the concrete
has cured. Before placing concrete, any openings shall be boxed out with form work
as specified by the engineer of record. The following guidelines are suggested for isolated
openings at right angles to the deck span, or as specified by the engineer of record:
• Up to 300 mm (12 in.) square penetrations centred on the top of the profile of the
deck is acceptable without additional reinforcement, other than the minimum
shrinkage and temperature mesh.
• Up to 425 mm (16.7 in.) width by 1000 mm (39.4 in.) length opening with additional
reinforcement.
• Openings larger than 425 mm (16.7 in.) require structural steel framing as specified
by the engineer of record.
• Close grouping of openings transverse to the profile shall be treated as one
opening, requiring additional reinforcement as specified by the engineer of record.
• After the slab has reached 75% of the required concrete compressive strength, a
nibbler, power saw or coring machine can be used to cut out openings in the top
profile with the approval by the engineer of record.
28
COLUMNS AND COMFLOR® DECKING – The steel deck sheeting can be cut and fitted
to accommodate various column shapes to minimise grout loss. Where no supporting
steel work is provided, steel angle brackets shall be provided to support the steel
decking, as specified by the engineer of record.
RIB REINFORCEMENT AND MESH PLACEMENT – The COMFLOR® design requires that
one steel reinforcing bar be placed in each rib profile. The bar size, as shown in the
load tables, can vary from 10 mm (0.394 in.) to 30 mm (1.18 in.) in diameter. The bars
shall be placed on Rebar Supports which ensure a 40 mm (1.57 in.) spacing from
the bottom flange to the underside of the reinforcing bars. Spacing of the Rebar
Supports shall be in accordance with good practice guidelines, and not exceeding
1220 mm (48 in.) on centre. To ensure both vertical and horizontal stability during
concrete placement, the reinforcing bars shall be tied down periodically through the
Side-lap Washers with 1.21 mm (0.0476 in.) diameter tie wiring. It is recommended
that a minimum standard shrinkage and temperature reinforcing mesh of
152x152xMW18.7xMW18.7 (6x6x6/6) be placed above the top of the steel decking
and positioned towards the top of the slab, or as specified by the engineer of record.
CONCRETE PLACEMENT – Concrete shall be placed in accordance with CAN/CSA
A23.1-947. Before starting concrete placement, the steel decking shall be cleared of
dirt, grease and debris, which could adversely influence the composite slab
performance. Care shall be taken to avoid concrete heaping in any area during
concrete placement. Typical construction live loads have been accounted for in the
load tables. Should additional construction loading be required, approval by the
engineer of record is required.
TEMPORARY SUPPORTS – When the design span exceeds the maximum unshored
span shown in the load tables, the wet concrete weight and construction loads shall
be supported by adding temporary supports (shoring), as designed by the engineer
of record. Where temporary supports are required, it is important that:
• Beams and the support structure have adequate strength to support the
construction loads as designed and specified by the engineer of record.
• Shoring is normally placed at midspan or at other suitable intervals, as required.
• Shoring beams shall provide a minimum bearing width of 100 mm (4 in.).
• The shoring structure shall remain in place until the concrete has reached 75% of its
design strength, or as specified by the engineer of record.
HANGER SYSTEM – The geometry of the ribs allows for the suspension of services from
the profile top flange between ribs. Pre-set threaded rod hangers are easily installed
before the concrete is placed. Consult your mechanical and electrical consultants, and
installation contractors for accepted specifications.
29
SERVICE HOLES – Refer to table on page 37 for size and location of round holes
through COMFLOR® ribs. Sleeves shall be fastened in place before concrete
placement. Cut-out of holes shall be done only after the concrete has reached 75% of
its design strength, or as specified by the engineer of record.
CEILING HANGER SYSTEMS – Ceilings can be suspended directly from the bottom of
the steel deck.

• Side-lap Washers shall be installed at 350 mm (13.8 in.) along the bottom trough of each vault profile using No. 12 x 25.4
mm (1 in.) or better, hexagon washer head self-drilling screws. The fastener location is indicated by pre-punched holes in the
male overlap. The laps shall be correctly connected together as they form a critical part of the flooring system.
• Rebar Supports shall be installed at 1220 mm (4 ft) on centre maximum, to support the reinforcing bars (10 mm to 30 mm,
as specified) in each vault or trough in accordance with Section 1.2 of these Specifications – 40 mm (1.57 in.) clearance.
• Restraint Straps shall be installed 400 mm (16 in.) on centre, one end to the Perimeter Trim return flange and the other end
to the top of the deck panel for concrete pressure restraint during the concrete placement phase of construction.
• Shoring shall be supplied and installed by qualified personnel at the locations specified on the drawings. If in doubt, check
with the supplier’s technical department and the engineer of record. Shoring shall not be removed until the concrete has
reached 75% of its required design strength, or as authorised by the engineer of record. Consult with the engineer of record
to be sure that the shoring meets the local jurisdictional requirements before placing of concrete.
• Concrete shall be placed in accordance with CAN/CSA A23.1-947. Good concrete placement practices shall be carried out
at all times. Refer to concrete practice guidelines before starting concrete placement.
DEFLECTION DUE TO SL AB WEIGHT
The deflection due to the slab weight can be calculated as follows. The calculation is based on the uncracked moment of inertia
of the section and the deflection parameter, SWDP, can be obtained from the load tables.
