Does anyone have any details on this?
It is a decking with 380mm (15") wide pans, flat between the ribs (no additional stiffening formed between the ribs).
It is called up as 'steel decking, plain panels MK.1' on a 1970 Hydro TAS drawing. Section shows dovetail rib shape similar to Bondek.

Thanks
 
That is the original Bondek I. It has very low bond properties compared to todays decks which improved bond a lot since the early 1990's. I would be ignoring it in design personally!
 
Thanks Rapt
I think I've identified it as Lysaght Tri-lok which was phased out about the same time Bondek was introduced. From what I can find there's no mention of it working compositely with the concrete (and the bond would be suspect) so I will ignore it.
