1. Types
of Deck Plates
General Deck Plates
The most widely used deck plate in Korea,
general deck plate is commonly used for structural and molding
purposes in reinforced concrete floors. Deck plates
with flat top are classified as flat decks.
Composite Structure Deck Plate
The term "composite structure deck plate"
implies that deck plates and concrete are synthesized and
that the composite form features embossed or dove-tailed insert
type cross section.
Cellular deck plate is a deck plate type that can accommodate
an extensive array of electrical wires, computer networks
and telephone wires through shaped cells as well as floor
ducts and header boxes above the cell top.
2. Key Characteristics
Lightweight
 |
Special design and processing created a steel material
that is strong for its weight and that cuts down the costs
of transportation, construction and maintenance as well
as shortens the construction time. . |
|
 |
Shortened Construction Period |
| |
Lighter than conventional molds, deck plates are
easier to transport and install. The mold
installation time is reduced because there is no
need to set up supports for long-span floor slabs.
|
|
Lower Construction Cost |
| |
Since installation is easy and simple, less manpower
is required at the site and the construction cost
is slashed.
|
|
Safe |
| |
Shoddy mold installation causes a major portion
of industrial accidents during concrete construction.
Mold installation using deck plates play a part
in reducing the number of on-site accidents. |
|
Appearance
Deck plates can create superior appearance
when they are used on the structure exterior.
All-Weather Construction
There is little concern for delayed construction
from bad weather since deck plates for roofing system can
be installed in all kinds of weather.
Quality Management
Produced by advanced engineering and manufacturing
technology, deck plates are subject to consistent quality
management that complies with design standards.
Easier Installation
Deck plate installation streamlines the complicated
work process, facilitating the coordination with other construction
phases like electrical and communications wiring, pipe works,
and ventilation duct installation. Moreover, deck plates
can serve as a field storage or portable work tables during
the construction when necessary.
Maintenance of Clean Construction Environment
Waste generation is almost nil from using
factory-produced standardized materials and doing away with
supports, which help to keep the construction site clean.
3. Characteristics
of Deck Plates by Type
Cellular Deck Plates
Cellular deck plates are the most widely used
deck plates and made purely for molding purposes. They
are in the shape of troughs, designed to withstand heavy erection
load without supports.

Reinforced Truss Deck Plates
A part of deck plate floor slab reinforcement
is combined with the structural members made with reinforced
truss and the flat-type molding deck plates. The reinforced
truss enables the deck plates to withstand the erection load
and the thickness of overall floor slabs is cut down by reducing
the deck plate thickness and eliminating the troughs.

Super deck plate
|
|
|
Flat Deck Plates
This is a cellular deck plate type in which
the two webs on the upper part of trough are made to touch
each other in the rib shape. The two sides of deck plates
on top of the beam reinforcement flanges are bound so that
end closures are not needed. It also reduces the thickness
of floor structure and enables the two-way slab arrangement
of bars.

Composite Deck Plates
|
General Composite Deck Plates |
| |
By synthesizing reinforced structural body and deck
plates, deck plates are made to serve as structural members.
This deck plate type has dove tails and embossings to
increase the contact surface between deck plates and reinforced
concrete as well as to enhance the confining effect.
Since deck plates are used as structural members, fire
resistant coating is required. |

Composite Deck Plates for Fireproof
Structures
|
| |
Similar in shape to general composite deck plates, this
type of deck plates is designed to be inherently fireproof
by enhancing the adhesion between plates and reinforced
concrete. Therefore the plates can be used as structural
members without separate fireproof coating. |

Height Reduction Type Composite Fireproof
Decks
|
| |
This is a new form of flat type composite deck plates
with improved structural functions compared to conventional
flat deck types. The decks listed below have enhanced
soundproof quality of dividers and construction feasibility
by flattening the bottom. In addition, the protruding
parts are shaped like wedges to increase the adhesiveness
of concrete. The bottom part of the wedge is slanted
to increase the filling capacity of concrete, ultimately
strengthening the adhesiveness of deck and concrete.
