2. Orthotropic deck - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthotropic_deck

   The same structural effects are also true of the concrete slab in a composite girder bridge, but the steel orthotropic deck is considerably lighter, and therefore allows longer span bridges to be more efficiently designed. Resistance to use of an orthotropic deck relates mainly to its cost of fabrication, due to the amount of welding involved.

   Subsequently, the deck's top reinforcing steel is placed on top of the precast panels at the site, and concrete is poured over the entire assembly to achieve the final thickness of the deck. This process effectively accelerates the construction of structures by eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming field forming, and the placing of ...

4. Composite construction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_construction

   A composite steel deck combines the tensile strength of steel with the compressive strength of concrete to improve design efficiency and reduce the material necessary to cover a given area. Additionally, composite steel decks supported by composite steel joists can span greater distances between supporting elements and have reduced live load ...

5. Deck (building) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deck_(building)

   A deck is also the surface used to construct a boardwalk over sand on barrier islands. Laying deck or throwing deck refers to the act of placing and bolting down cold-formed steel beneath roofing and concrete floors. This is usually done by an ironworker, sometimes in conjunction with a cement mason or carpenter. It regarded as one of the most ...

6. Large panel system building - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_panel_system_building

   The first German use of large panel system-building construction is what is now known as the Splanemann-Siedlung in Berlin's Lichtenberg district, constructed in 1926–1930. [1] These two- and three-storey apartment houses were assembled of locally cast slabs, inspired by the Dutch Betondorp in Watergraafsmeer, a suburb of Amsterdam.
