Can I use any metal decking for constructing a TAB-Deck™ project?

Theoretically all metal decks on the market can be used for TAB-Deck™. However, as TAB-Deck™ takes into consideration the composite action between the steel deck and SFRC, before doing so, it is necessary to conduct a certain number of tests to characterize this composite behaviour. Test results are available today for SMD (UK) metal deck profiles TR60™, TR80™ and R51™ when used in conjunction with HE 1/50 fibres as well as for ARVAL (ArcelorMittal) Cofraplus 60 decks when HE+ 1/60 fibres are used in the SFRC.
