Jan 20, 2010 #4 JAE Structural Jun 27, 2000 15,578 I'm not real sure (in fact not sure at all) but don't they use vented decks in outdoor parking garages with metal deck/concrete slabs? Seems like I saw that once. Without the venting, any moisture gets trapped in the concrete/deck interface and rusts away. AISC was pushing this system a while back for garages. Anyone confirm this?
