Vulcraft’s Design Tools allow you, as the designer, to obtain custom design information for your project, look at scenarios, and allow you to find the highest value solutions for your client.
Calculate the bare deck diaphragm shear and stiffness for your configuration based on AISI S310 and IAPMO reports.
Determine the uniform gravity and wind-uplift loads for your bare deck configurations.
Information on wall anchorage design for steel deck, steel deck web crippling design, and other tools are available.
N-deck profiles have 3-inch deep ribs with narrow low flutes and wide high flutes that create a uniform look from the bottom side. N-deck is ideal for spans greater than 10 feet, and is available in 32" wide panels, resulting in greater coverage and fewer necessary sheets to be laid.
