FUNCTIONAs part of the roof assembly the deck should

be designed to provide:

Structural support

Structural SupportA deck transfers the weight of live and dead loads

to supporting framing members.

• Joist

• Purlins

• Subpurlins

EXPANSION JOINTS

25

EXPANSION JOINTSWhat should be considered in the design and

placement of expansion joints?

• The building's thermal movement characteristics

• The structural supports and roof deck

• The roof system selected

• The climatic conditions

26

EXPANSION JOINTSWhere should we install expansion joints?

27

AREA DIVIDERSAlso called ‘Control Joints’ or ‘Relief Joints’What’s the difference between an expansion joint and

area divider?

DECK TYPESThe most common types are:

• Cementitious wood-fiber deck panels

• Lightweight insulating concrete and fills

• Poured gypsum concrete

• Precast gypsum panel

• Steel

• Structural concrete (cast-in-place, post-tensioned and precast/prestressed)

• Thermosetting insulating fills

• Wood-plank and structural wood-panel decks

29

STRUCTURAL CONCRETE• The three general types of structural concrete

roof decks are:– Cast-in-place - Concretes that are cast on a job-site

over form material and are reinforced with steel bar and/or wire mesh embedded in a deck.

– Post-tensioned - Reinforcement cables or tendons are tensioned after the concrete has been cast and taken a set.

– Precast/prestressed - Cast at a manufacturing facility and transported to a job site.

PRECAST/PRE-STRESSED CONCRETE

3. WHEN THE STRANDS ARE CUT, THE CONCRETE GOES INTO COMPRESSION AND THE BEAMTAKES ON A CAMBER ENABLING THE MEMBER TO ACCOMMODATE GREATER LOADING.

2. CONCRETE IS CAST AROUND THE STRETCHED STRANDS AND CURED.

THE CONCRETE BONDS TO THE STRANDS.

1. THE FIRST STEP IN PRETENSIONING IS TO STRETCH THE STEEL PRESTRESSING STRANDS TIGHTLY ACROSS THE CASTING BED.
