Dear all,
When using slabs on metal deck, can anyone clearly define the difference between the option “Slab on trapezoidal plate” and “slab composed with a trapezoidal plate”? They look pretty much identical, but maybe the first option is for a plate entirely made from steel? Or is there a difference with how they take composite action into account? Is the difference concerning using the deck as formwork only?
Anybody know? Thanks.
Hugues
