In electrified floors, cellular units are usually blended with non cellular units — the load tables for the weaker section controls. For total cellular applications use
these section properties or call the Summit, N.J. office for individual load tables. Live loads can be obtained from the composite deck tables in this manual.
Use the deck gage that is the same as the top hat of the cellular deck; i.e., for 18/20 LFC3 use the properties shown for 18 gage (0.0474")LF3.
U.S.D. offers a complete line of trench headers and activation kits. Preset inserts are available with most sections. Cellular units that show 36 inch cover have
an additional cell to make up the width. Call or write for the Activ-Way brochure.
Check List for Electrified Floor Deck
✔ Check the fire rating requirements — Designs Dxxx in U.L. Fire Resistance Directory. If floors are accessed for electric (power) or communications, and a
fire rating is required, then the deck must be “fireproofed” and a 2.5" cover of concrete is usually chosen. Galvanized steel is always required for cellular deck.
✔ Check to determine which blend of cellular and non cellular decks will provide the needed wiring - blending of units saves money.
✔ Check load requirements in the trench header span. The trench interrupts the slab and the loads must be handled by:
1. shortening the deck span that carries the trench; or, 2. using a heavier gage deck; or, 3. reinforcing the slab as a cantilever; or, 4. placing the trench
over (or close to) a beam; or, 5. a combination of these methods.

NOTES:
Vented deck with 1.5% open area is available for use with insulating fills. Insulating fill manufacturers have determined load capacities of various combinations of
fill and deck both with and without foamed plastic insulation boards. Refer to the fill manufacturer’s literature for loading limitations.
R1 is the bearing capacity at an exterior condition. R2 is the bearing capacity at an interior condition.

Attachments
In order for deck to function properly, it is imperative that the deck be
36/4 adequately fastened. For diaphragms, proper fastening means to follow
(B) the requirements given by the plans and specifications; the type and
spacing of the fasteners must not be changed without the consent of the
designer. For deck that is to be used as a working platform, the attach-
36/3 ments should be made as soon as the deck is positioned. In no case
(B) should deck be left unattached to the structural frame. If arc puddle welds
are used, either E60XX or E70XX welding rods are recommended - rod
36/4 size and amperage are to be selected by the qualified welder; the
1 1 2 ", 2", 3" Lok Floor
American Welding Society Specifications for Welding Sheet Steel in
Structures should be followed. Welding washers are not recommended for
decks made of 22 gage material or heavier; welding washers are recom-
35/4 mended on decks lighter than 22 gage. If screws are used to attach the
(UFS)
deck to the supports, a #12 is advised. Side lap screws should be #10’s.
