This course outlines the attributes, functions, benefits, limits, and acoustic qualities of composite deck slabs. It reviews the three primary types of composite systems that represent the full range of long-span composite floor systems and examines the criteria for their selection, design, and engineering. In addition, it provides a comprehensive range of industry standards and resources that a designer could consult to ensure, at a minimum, compliance with all building regulations and industry standards.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Optimize the characteristics of the three composite system options in order to create efficient, cost-effective structures.
- Meet or exceed all fire safety requirements for composite floor slabs in a cost-effective manner.
- Utilize basic engineering design principles to create durable and economical composite floor systems.
- Incorporate acoustic control into composite structures to create healthy and comfortable conditions for building occupants.
