Structural concrete deck a cast in place concrete deck serves as an integral part of the structure and is designed to carry heavy loads normal weight concrete is typically used for cast in place construction. Our lightweight concrete is custom blended as per the weight and thickness required for each particular job. Lcc lightweight cellular concrete is an excellent product works well for the application. Lightweight concrete can also be applied as a topping slab over structural concrete decks.

G slope insulating concrete uniformly 1 in 50 1 4inch per foot minimum to drains or scuppers. The normal weight concrete employs standard aggregates i e. A minimum 1 inch per 100 linear feet thick control joint should be installed through the thickness of the lightweight roof deck concrete around the perimeter of the roof deck and through the building expansion joints. Low density insulating concrete roof decks are monolithic composite systems cast over galvanized metal decks structural concrete wood decks or existing roof systems.

Place reinforcement without attachment minimum 13 mm 1 2 inch above steel deck crests in insulating concrete. Cell crete has a very professional staff and scheduling was very easy.

The shape of profiled steel decking may vary as shown in fig 3 and fig 4. Not only does the deck acts as a permanent formwork to the concrete but also provides adequate shear bond with the concrete. F place concrete not less than 50 mm 2 inches or more than 203 mm 8 inches in thickness.
