Galvanized Steel Structural Deck Panels
APPLICATION. PAVERDECK
tm
pre-engineered panels are suitable
for residenal and commercial load bearing deck applicaons, in
compliance with AISI S100 “North American Specicaon for the
Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members” referenced in:
a) Internaonal Building Code® (IBC) (2009-2015)
b) 2012 Internaonal Residenal Code (“IRC”).
VALIDATION. Conformance to AISI S100 validated by Dr. Roger A.
LaBoube, Ph.D., Department of Civil Engineering and director of
the Wei-Wen Yu Center for Cold-Formed Steel Structures at the
Missouri University of Science and Technology, and Porcupine
Engineering (Ontario) to CSA S136. PAVERDECK
tm
pre-engineered
panels conform to code report PER-15098 issued by PEI Evaluaon
Services.
CERTIFICATION. Cered by Underwriters Laboratory pursuant to
W446 (UL USA) U417 (ULC Canada).
TESTING. Full-scale independent tesng completed by Innovave
Test Soluons (Newmarket, Ontario) per ISO/IEC 17025:2005 A2LA
accreditaon. Remained elasc at total load combinaons to 256
psf @ 8- clear span. Failure tested to 560 psf @ 8- clear span
without collapse.
VARIATIONS FROM SPECIFICATION. Any item not specically
addressed herein shall comply with the regional building code as
applicable. Contact Evoluondeck Inc. for specic loading criteria
or consideraons.

DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING. Product may be stored
outside, but protect and store cold-formed steel framing from
corrosion, moisture staining, deformaon, and other damage
during delivery, storage, and handling as required in AISI’s “Code
of Standard Pracce”.
STANDARD SPECIFICATION. The Paverdeck product is
manufactured to a single geometric conguraon in lengths of
10, 12, or 14 . The standard deck joist height is 6.25 inches and
minimum uncoated thickness is 0.054in. System components are
made from galvanized sheet steel as per ASTM A653/A653M-98
Z275 (G90), with a minimum yield strength of 50 ksi.
STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS.
• STARTER CHANNEL: Galvanized Steel SSMA 600S162-054
• PAVERDECK PANEL: EDECK 625S1200-054. Integrated joist
diaphragm panels manufactured by Evoluondeck Inc.
with 6.25 inch joist depth, web-to-web spacing from 10-12
inches, and 0.054 in material thickness. Lengths from 10,
12, 14 . Designed as eld panels and end-panel.
• BEAMS/LEDGER. SSMA 1000S300-97 galvanized CFS
steel, or equiv. (to max clear span < 10). Include beam
web sener SSMA 600S162-54 at locaon of foongs.
Alternave soluons include painted structural iron
conforming to Grade 350 W steel in ASTM A6 , or wood
beams for exterior applicaons (with intermediate isolaon
membrane) to be sized by a qualied designer.
VIBRATION. Vibraon serviceability design calculated as F =
18/√(∆mm), where ∆ = midspan deflection based on live loading.
DEAD LOAD. PAVERDECK
tm
steel system has a dead load of 5 psf,
excluding the surface nish.
MAX. CLEAR SPAN BETWEEN BEAMS. 12- based on min. L/360
service deecon (Residenal), 10- otherwise.
MAX. CANTILEVER. 39in. based on L/360 service deecon.
CONCENTRATED LOADS. 1045 lbs over an area of 30in x 30in. Larger
concentrated loads can be achieved by inserng seners under the
point load. See www.paverdeck.com for more informaon.
