Profiled Steel Sheets: Sacrificial Siiuttering (Form Deck)
Steel deck is made by cold forming structural grade sheet steel into a repeating pattern of parallel ribs. The strength and stiffness of the panels are a result of the shape of the ribs and the material properties of the steel. The present version of the Indian Standard that CRCA steel
for Cold Rolled Cold Annealed (CRCA) steel (IS 513) is not rich in content in respect to the structural applications
has been witne~sing in the country. With hot rolled (HR) Steel long available in grades like Yst 240 and Yst 310 for processing into CR ste~l, the exclusion of structural grade steel from IS 513 remains an enigma. Indian steel manufacturers HR and thus availability of high tensile structural steel is a reality for structural also make Yst 550 grade of
low ductility of high tensile steel (elongations are generally about 1 to 4% for Yst 550 grade CR), its use for deck applications where they act as formwork to support green concrete and unforeseen erection loads until the slab attains its properties may not be wise. Transport considerations would generally limit the length of deck sheets to about 7.2 m. The sheets are furnished in standard
width with ends square cut. Any cutting for width, e.g. cuts for openings, angular fits etc. are done at the job site by the fitting crew.
SACRIFICIAL SIIUTTERING
Profiled steel sheets as sacrificial
(FORM DECK)
shuttering is a concept widely accepted in recent times for fast track construction. shuttering props would have been translates into sound
It has been established as a pragmatic solution for tall industrial buildings where conventional highly impractical. With commercial construclion fast gaining ground, and providing
faster occupancy
busi~ess logic, profiled deck sheets as sacrificial shuttering has become an obvious choice. Its advantages are not only techno-economic but also highly practical and utilitarian. ~ Stronger than conventional shuttering ~ Practically propless ~ Simultaneous
- free space
~ Material and sectional properties impart additional strength to finished concrete slab during service period ~ Profile shapes provide additional space for nesting service lines within the notches ~ Faster to install than conventional shuttering ~ Available in multiple material choices

set completely and composite action has developed. The friction between the steel sheet and concrete is expressed by a co-efficient denoted as "k" while the mechanical interlocking between steel and concrete made effective by the embossments is denoted by "m". The design of the composite slab is entirely governed by
these two coefficients "m" and "k" which are also known as the shear-bond values of a composite deck sheet.

Each profile with its embossment is unique and will have its own unique shear-bond value. This unique shear-bond value is to be established through extensive laboratory tests (BS 5950 : Part 4, EUROCODE 3) as per guidelines laid down in the standard before the profile can qualify as a true, established composite deck sheet. CKiLDECKSPAN has been parametrically tested independently and separately at Structural Engineering Research Centre (SERC), Chennai and Coimbatore Institute of Technology (CIT). The test results at the two institutes have been cMlJ.ftaredand,thereafter
CRiLDECKSPAN has been certified as having m as per BS 5950 Part 4/ Eurocode 3. [ReferGuidebookfor design of Embossed ProfiledSheets Acting as CompositeDeck published by Institute of Steel Design &'Growth.INSDAG]
