Scaffold Decks and Planks

Steel Planks is used to resist construction loads and service loads. Construction loads are loads applied to the temporary or permanent structure during construction. Service loads are loads applied to the structure when used as designed and under which serviceability limit states are evaluated.

Steel Planks resists out-of-plane loads. These are loads that are applied perpendicular to the surface of the panel and can be applied in inward and outward direction. Inward out-of-plane uniform loads are typically a combination of gravity loads and inward wind loading conditions. Outward out-of-plane uniform loads are typically wind uplift loads.

Steel Planks also resists in-plane diaphragm loads. These loads are due to either wind or seismic loads and run parallel to the surface of the panel.

Steel Planks is specified by type (roof, floor, etc.), profile family (B, N, 2W, 3W, etc.), gage (thickness), sidelap (screwable, welded, proprietary, etc.), finish (galvanized, prime painted, etc.), and other characteristics (cellular, acoustic, etc.) when applicable.
