This course provides an overview of structural steel deck design, and the ways to improve building performance and to reduce total-project costs. Key topics include steel deck types, deck terminology, and deck design criteria. The course references actual project examples of cost reduction and demonstrates the mission-critical role of steel deck detailing during the building design process.
Achieve architectural visions. Solve engineering challenges. Realize project goals. Your success begins with the selection of the right steel building system. We have the expertise to help you determine the optimal structural steel building system for your application. From steel joists and deck to long-span composite floor systems, we engineer and manufacture solutions that control costs, enhance performance and ensure project success. Together, let’s build it better.
