q decking question 1

[MPCARR]

I am not that familiar with poured concrete structural decking. Can anyone recommend a site or other reference material to give me structural loading information on q-decking applications. Specifically I am designing a roof to an building. the roof will have to support the load from parked and moving cars and trucks. The roof is relatively small, 17' x 19' and can be up to 8" thick. any suggestions where to start, or general references or rules of thumb?<br>
Thanks in advance<br>

You could try the Vulcraft website. Vulcraft manufacture all types of metal decking including composite metal deck and their site has a good download center (

I think in this instance you may be better proceeding with a conventional 2-way reinforced concrete slab or rib-slab design.<br>
