I'm looking for a little insight here since my searching is coming up empty.
Looking at FEMA P-361, 7.3.5 it says:
If I consider a steel deck acting as the form with 4" of reinforced concrete over top, I have always been under the impression that this complies with the missile impact requirements. In fact, I consider this above the FEMA impact requirements since later in chapter 7 it is noted that concrete over a metal deck contained the spalling of the large concrete barrel (see page 7-29).
My question is, since most of the other FEMA assemblies are "pre-approved" for impact resistance, has there been any documented impact testing done of this type of roof system?
