Abstract
A poured concrete building deck structure of the type having corrugated sheet metal form deck wherein the edges along sides parallel to the corrugations of the major form deck at the edges of the deck and edges of internal openings through the deck are formed by a corrugated sheet metal form having corrugations at about 90.degree. to the major portion of the corrugated sheet metal form deck, the ends of the deck around all sides of the building or around all sides of the internal opening being spaced a distance from the desired building line or opening and an edge bracket fastened to the outer ends of the sheet metal forms extending outwardly to the desired relationship to the building line or opening and providing a means to retain poured concrete.
Claims18
In a poured concrete building deck structure of the type having a corrugated sheet metal form deck supported by structural girders and spandrels an improved edge construction along edges parallel to the corrugations of said form deck comprising:
- an edge open trough of said corrugated sheet metal form deck being spaced from the desired building line or opening, a beam support between said edge open trough and said desired building line or opening;
- a corrugated sheet metal form having corrugations at about 90.degree. to the major portion of said corrugated sheet metal form deck having its inner end supported by said edge open trough of said corrugated sheet metal form deck and extending over said beam support in cantilever fashion and having its outer end which is perpendicular to its corrugations spaced a distance corresponding to the adjustability of an edge bracket from the desired building line or opening;
- and
- an edge bracket fastened to said outer end extending outwardly to the desired relationship to the building or opening and providing means to retain poured concrete.
A poured concrete building deck comprising:
- a corrugated sheet metal form deck supported by structural girders and spandrels and comprising a major corrugated sheet metal form deck portion and two minor sheet metal form portions having corrugations at about 90.degree. to the corrugations of said major deck portion, said major deck portion having its outer ends which are perpendicular to the corrugations spaced a distance corresponding to the adjustability of an edge bracket inside of the desired building line and its outer sides which are parallel to the corrugations spaced inside the spandrels, said minor form portions extending outwardly from each of said outer sides of said major deck portion over the spandrel and having their outer ends which are perpendicular to their corrugations a distance corresponding to the adjustability of an edge bracket inside of the desired building line and their inner ends supported by open troughs at each of said outer sides of said major deck portion;
- edge brackets fastened to said major and minor corrugated metal form deck and forms outer ends, respectively, and outwardly to the desired building line and providing means to retain poured concrete to the desired height;
- metal reinforcing above said metal deck and forms;
- and
- poured concrete adjacent and above said metal deck and forms embedding said metallic reinforcing and extending to said edge brackets to cover the desired concrete deck area.
