Brown-Campbell Composite Floor Deck is designed for non-residential applications in low-rise, high-rise, and manufacturing sectors. This flooring system offers the dual purpose of 1) acting as a working platform before and during concrete placement, thereby eliminating the costly effort of utilizing wood forms, and 2) acting as a positive reinforcement for the concrete slabs, thereby eliminating the need for rebar in most cases. In most projects, the only additional reinforcement necessary is welded wire fabric for controlling temperature and shrinkage cracks.

Composite floor deck is comprised of a ribbed profile deck with special rolled-in embossments designed to interlock with the concrete slab. This construction maximizes the efficiency of both the steel and the concrete components. Composite beam design utilizing composite floor deck and shear studs provides a tremendous cost saving opportunity through reduction in the size and cost of steel beams by as much as 30 percent.

Brown-Campbell composite floor deck is available in two finishes, painted and galvanized. Painted floor deck is manufactured from steel conforming to ASTM A611 and galvanized floor deck is manufactured from steel conforming to ASTM A653. Painted composite floor deck is the most cost effective alternative for use in enclosed environments, the painted bottom side of the floor deck is high-heat baked-on thermal setting primer. The end use and exposure to weather and other elements determine the selection of finish. Galvanized roof deck is manufactured with a standard coating of G-60, additionally a coating weight of G-90 is available upon request.

Diaphragm Design - Composite deck slabs can be utilized in diaphragm design with lateral loading. This type of diaphragm is composed of composite steel floor deck and structural, normal or lightweight concrete fill. The concrete fill must have a cover of 2-1/2 inches and attain a minimum compressive strength of 3,000 psi and WWF temperature reinforcing meeting SDI requirements.

Fireproofing - If required by the U.L. Design Assembly requirements or specifying engineer, fireproofing can be sprayed to the underside of the deck. Fireproofing requirements, including surface preparations, are the responsibility of and shall be provided by other trades/suppliers. Brown-Campbell Company shall not be responsible for cleaning the underside of the metal deck to ensure bond of fireproofing nor adhesion or adhesive ability of the fireproofing.
