Technical Guidance Notes

8.2 - Spans

Structural roof decks can be designed for the following span conditions. It is important that sheet weights and manual handling implications are considered when determining span conditions and detailing sheet lengths.

The span condition impacts the load resistance of the structural roof deck, therefore it is imperative that sheets are installed in accordance with the detailed design. Sheets should not be cut to alter span conditon without written consent from the structural engineer and/or the manufacturer.
