DECKSLAB Slab on metal deck analysis and design (both composite and form deck) per SDI and ACI
318-99. Alex Tomanovich 2018 07 1,128

FloorFraming 14 Newly updated, Floor Framing helps engineers determine optimal composite steel and
concrete slab on metal deck floor framing. It can design a typical interior bay and optimize SSC 2018 07 921
the results for either the overall weight or relative cost of a framing system. Each such
evaluation is based on strength, deflection limits, and vibration for walking excitation. This
version now supports ANSI/AISC 360-05 and 360-10, as well as shape data from both the
13th and 14th Editions of the Steel Construction Manual. There is also now an option to use
the lower bond moment of inertia for composite sections. This is an installer package; after
downloading the .zip file you will need to double-click the .msi file to commence installation.

FloorFraming_14_0_0 Floor Framing (formerly known as Parametric Bay Studies) can help engineers determine
optimal composite steel and concrete slab on metal deck floor framing. This tool can design a SSC 2018 07 727
typical interior bay and optimize the results for either the overall weight or the relative cost
of the framing system. Each evaluation is based on strength, deflection limits, and vibration
for walking excitation based on AISC Design Guide 11, Floor Vibrations Due to Human
Activity . Each run takes less than a minute, so criteria such as slab density and thickness,
column spacing, and loading can quickly be changed to optimize the floor framing. This tool
was originally published as an AISC Steel Solutions Center 'SteelTool'. AISC no longer
technically supports and maintains these files. This document has been prepared in

GRATING "GRATING.xls" is a workbook containing 9 worksheets for the purpose of analysis and design
of welded steel grating and fabricated aluminum bar grating. Specifically, light duty steel or Alex Tomanovich 2018 07 921
aluminum grating covered floors, platforms, walkways, trenches, etc. subjected to uniformly
distributed gravity loading (dead + live), along with a concentrated line load may be
analyzed. Light duty steel or aluminum grating may also be analyzed for an imposed wheel
or post load. Heavy duty steel grating may be analyzed for vehicular wheels loads from
either lift trucks with designated capacity or from AASHTO truck loading (H-20 and H-15).
Bending stresses and deflections are checked against allowable values. Allowable load tables
for grating are also included for quick selection of grating size or clear span based on either
uniformly distributed or concentrated line loading, and allow for user input of a clear span
value not specifically noted in the tables.

GRDSLAB This workbook is for concrete slab on grade analysis. There are worksheets for wheel/point
loads, wall loads, and uniformly distributed loads. There are also 4 worksheets which are Alex Tomanovich 2018 07 937
basic replications of the charts from a dated, but well renowned PCA publication for slabs on
grade, dealing with wheel and post loadings.

HSS Diaphragm Moment
Connection
This spread sheet calculates W type beam to HSS column connection. We can use this type
of connection when the other type are not able to transfer the factored moment The Harry Aslanian 2018 12 2,025
reference used in the attached spread sheet is "Hollow Structural Sections-Connection
Manual-AISC Copyright 1997. The example in this reference is in LRFD format and imperial
units. I used metric units and the Canadian database is attached. The limit states are those
indicated for the "Cut-out plate connection" which is very similar connection to this described
here. This tool is not password protected in order to give the possibility to make minor
changes. Obviously you can protect the spread sheet leaving the input cells(in red) not
protected.This workbook contains 3 sheets. 1. Input & results, 2. Canadian database, 3.
Sketch -could be printed and give it to the draftperson. This tool must be used only by
professional engineers after thorough verification. I designed the tool of my best knowledge
but I dont assume any responsibility in case of errors.

Steel Deck Diaphragm Design
The Hilti Profis DF Diaphragm Software Version 2.0 calculates diaphragm shear, flexibility
factors and uplift resistance for steel deck roof and floor systems. The program is based on Andrew T Liechti 2018 07 594
the Steel Deck Institute (SDI) Diaphragm Design Method and incorporates the latest ICC-ES
AC43 performance data. The program incorporates a powerful design optimization feature
with estimating and zoning functions in order to produce the most cost-effective steel deck
design solution today.

ROOFDECK Spreadsheet program for the purpose of analysis and design of roofs with steel deck.
Specifically, roof decks subjected to gravity loading (dead + live or snow) and wind uplift Alex Tomanovich 2018 07 778
loading can be analyzed using either ASD or LRFD methods. Bending stresses as well as
deflections are checked. Roof decks can be analyzed for either 1-span, 2-span, or 3-span
configurations. Program allows user to select between four (4) different profiles of Vulcraft
steel roof deck, 1.5A (narrow rib), 1.5B (wide rib), 1.5F (intermediate rib), and 3N
(acoustical).

ROOFDECK.xls_(Rev._1.1) "ROOF DECK" is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of analysis of
1.5 inchType 'B' (wide rib) roof deck (using Vulcraft type deck) for diaphragm analysis and 2018 07 777
deck axial force capacity from wall anchorage forces.
