(conservative) tested capacities.

8. Test Setup
8.1 Test Support Frame
8.1.1 Single-span test: The test support frame shall consist of either two exterior
support wide-flange steel beams, as shown in Figure 1, or bar stock as shown in
Figure 3.
8.1.2 Two-span or three-span test: The test support frame shall consist of two exterior
support wide-flange steel beams and one (two span test) or two (three span test)
interior support wide-flange steel beams, as shown in Figure 2. It shall be
permitted to vary span lengths within an individual test specimen, however the
length of any exterior unloaded spans for a three span test shall not be less than
50% of the length of the interior loaded span, nor shall the unloaded span of a
two span test be less than 50% of the length of the loaded span.
8.1.3 The test frame shall be wide enough to accommodate the width of the test
specimen.
8.1.4 Wide flange support beams shall have minimum flange width of 4 inches (100
mm), a maximum flange width of 6 inches (150 mm), a minimum flange
thickness of inch (6 mm), and a maximum flange thickness of 1 inch (25

beam support. Flat bar stock shall be a minimum width of 4 inches (100 mm)
and a maximum width of 6 inches (150 mm), with a minimum thickness of 3/8
inch (9 mm) and a maximum thickness of 1 inch (25 mm).
8.1.5 Rollers and pins as shown in Figure 3 shall be permitted if bar stock deck
bearing points are used.

9. Test Procedure
9.1 Testing shall be conducted after the concrete has reached its specified compressive
strength, but not less than seven days after casting. Except as noted, structural
lightweight concrete shall be permitted a longer curing time if required. High early
strength concrete shall be permitted to be tested earlier than seven days.
9.2 Specimens shall be tested using concentrated line loads as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
Alternatively, uniform loading in accordance with Section 9.2.1 shall be permitted to
be used with l equal to the distance from the support to the intersection of the first
vertical flexural crack with the bottom of the deck, but need not be less than l/4.
9.2.1 Uniform loading using air bags, vacuum boxes, or other means shall be
permitted as an alternate to Figures 1 and 2, provided that the test method does
not provide stiffening to the test specimen.

9.3 Loading: All loads shall be applied continuously and without impact, except for pauses
to take instrument readings. Load shall be applied at an approximate rate of
10% of the anticipated ultimate load per minute.
User Note: The anticipated ultimate load can be estimated by calculation, or
from test experience of similar profiles. The load should generally be applied in
increments of approximately one-tenth of the estimated ultimate load. The rate
of loading should also receive proper consideration, since rapid loading may
unduly affect the results. A small preload to set bearing, load apparatus, and
instrumentation may be desirable, after which the loading sequence is
commenced from zero load.

10. Data Evaluation

10.1 General
10.1.1 No test result shall be eliminated unless a rationale for its exclusion can be
provided that is acceptable to the reviewing authority. Such rationale shall be
included in the test report.

10.2 Shear Bond Testing

10.2.1 The following shall apply when testing is performed to establish performance in
accordance with SDI-C, Appendix 3.
10.2.1.1When three or more different deck thicknesses are tested, the following
equation shall apply:

Vt = bd [k1t/l+ k2/l+ k3t + k4] (Eq 10-1)

Where:
Vt = tested shear bond resistance, pounds/foot (N/m) of slab
width
b = unit slab width = 12 inches (1000 mm)
d = effective slab depth, measured from top of slab to the
gross section neutral axis of the deck unit, in (mm)
l = shear span, in (mm)
t = base metal thickness, in (mm)
k1, k2, k3, k4 =
shear bond coefficients obtained from multi-linear
regression analysis of test data from three or more deck
thicknesses tested.

Alternately, it shall be permitted to use the provisions for one or two

deck thicknesses contained in Section 10.2.1.2.

T-CD - 2017 Test Standard for Composite Steel Deck-Slabs

10.2.1.2 When one or two deck thicknesses are tested, the following
equation shall apply:

Vt = bd [k5/l + k6] (Eq 10-2)

Where:
k5, k6 = shear bond coefficients obtained from a linear regression
analysis of the test data for each individual deck
thickness tested.

10.2.1.3 The yield and ultimate flexural limit states capacity shall be
permitted to be established by analysis in accordance with conventional
reinforced concrete design in accordance with ACI 318 or by testing.
10.2.2 A testing program shall be conducted for each deck profile and embossment
pattern for which design values are required.
10.2.2.1 A testing program shall be conducted for each deck surface
coating to be used with a given profile or embossment pattern. Shear
bond coefficients shall be permitted to be established using the deck
surface coating demonstrating the lowest shear bond strength, provided
that verification of a coatings lower shear bond strength is found from a
minimum of two comparison tests.
10.2.2.2 A testing program shall be conducted for each type of concrete to
be used. Tests using specimens made of structural lightweight concrete
may be used to establish values for normal weight concrete provided
that at least two comparison tests indicate that the shear bond strength is
lower for the structural lightweight concrete.
10.2.2.3 Because the shear span, l, and deck thickness, t, are the most
important parameters in the shear bond equation, the shear span controls
the extreme conditions of the shear bond resistance for any given deck
thickness. The shear span shall be varied to achieve the maximum and
minimum shear bond resistances of any composite slab system. Table
10.2.2.3-1 shall be permitted to be followed as a guide. However, it shall
not be required to test more than one slab depth.

10.2.3. The number of tests required in a testing program for establishing shear bond
coefficients shall be as follows:
10.2.3.1 When three or more different deck thicknesses are used in the
testing program, a minimum of two tests in each deck thickness shall be
carried out. For each deck thickness, one test shall be carried out at the
maximum shear bond resistance (shortest l) and the second test at the
minimum shear bond resistance (longest l) (i.e. eight tests are required
for four deck thicknesses). This will enable the determination of the
coefficients k1, k2, k3, and k4 of the shear bond resistance expression,
which then shall be used to predict the shear bond resistance of all deck
thicknesses and shear spans within the range of thicknesses tested.
10.2.3.2 When a number of different deck thicknesses are produced for
design and only the thinnest deck thickness is used in the testing
program, a minimum of four tests shall be carried out, two at the
maximum shear bond resistance and two at the minimum shear bond
resistance. This will enable the determination of the coefficients k5 and
k6 of the shear bond resistance expression for this one individual deck
thickness. These results shall now be applied conservatively to all
thicker deck thicknesses, provided that a minimum of two additional
tests are carried out on the thickest deck thickness to confirm that this
procedure is conservative.
10.2.3.3 When a number of different deck thicknesses are produced for
design (t1... t(n-1), tn, where t1 is the thinnest and tn is the thickest) and
only the t1 and t(n-1) deck thicknesses are used in the test program, a
minimum of four tests in each deck thickness shall be carried out. For
each deck thickness tested, two tests shall be carried out at the maximum
shear bond resistance and two at the minimum shear bond resistance.
This will enable the determination of the shear bond coefficients k5 and
k6 for each thickness tested. These results shall be permitted to be used
for deck thicknesses between t1and t(n-1) by straight line interpolation of
the shear bond coefficients. The shear bond coefficients k5 and k6 of the
deck thickness t(n-1) shall be permitted to be used conservatively on the tn
deck thickness provided the embossment depths equal or exceed the t(n-1)
embossment depths.

10.2.4 Analysis of Test Results

10.2.4.1 If three or more deck thicknesses are used in the testing program,
a multiple-linear regression analysis shall be used to determine the shear
bond coefficients, k1, k2, k3, and k4. Ratios shall be calculated for all test
data by dividing the experimental shear bond resistances by the
respective computed shear bond resistances. If any ratio is less than
0.85, each associated shear bond coefficient k1, k2, k3, and k4, shall be
reduced by 5%. This reduction is necessary because the calibrated
resistance factor, v, is based on a maximum scatter limit of 15%.

STEEL DECK
AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS INSTITUTE/ STEEL DECK INSTITUTE
s
INSTITUTE

T-CD - 2017 Test Standard for Composite Steel Deck-Slabs

10.2.4.2 If each deck thickness is treated separately, a linear regression
analysis shall be used to determine the shear bond coefficients k5 and k6
for each deck thickness. If the ratios of experimental to computed shear
bond resistances are less than 0.85, the shear bond coefficients k5 and
k6 shall be reduced by 5%.
10.2.4.3 The tested shear bond resistance shall be determined as follows
for specimens tested under concentrated line loads:

Vt = Pt/2 + W/2 (Eq 10-3)

Where:
Vt = tested shear bond resistance, pounds/ft (N/m) of slab
width
Pt = ultimate failure load from test, pounds/ft (N/m) of slab
width
W = weight of the composite slab specimen, pounds/ft (N/m)
of slab width
10.2.4.4 The resistance factor shall be as required by SDI-C Appendix 3.

10.2.5 Alternate shear bond analysis: Alternate rational methods for establishing the
shear bond strength shall be permitted to be used if the pertinent parameters
contributing to a shear bond failure (including deck cross section; steel
thickness; shear span; concrete weight, strength, and type; shear transfer
devices; and method of loading) are considered. These methods include linear
and nonlinear relationships between the parameters. Sufficient tests shall be
made to establish the test method variability.

User Note: The shear bond testing method of ASCE 3-91 is an example of an
alternate rational method. The regression model of ASCE 3-91 is similar to
Equation 10-2 of this Standard.

10.3 Confirmatory Testing

10.3.1 When confirmatory testing is required, structural performance shall be
evaluated in accordance with the following procedure:
10.3.1.1 Test results shall be evaluated to demonstrate that the mean
tested strength of the composite steel deck-slab is not less than the
strength predicted by an established empirical or rational design
methodology.
10.3.1.2 Evaluation of test results shall be made on the basis of the mean
value of test data from the results of not fewer than three specimen tests
which are reflective of the construction for which performance is being
evaluated, provided no individual test result deviates more than 20%
from the mean value obtained from all tests. If such deviation from the
mean value exceeds 20 percent, additional tests shall be made until the

10

STEEL DECK
AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS INSTITUTE/ STEEL DECK INSTITUTE

INSTITUTE

T-CD - 2017 Test Standard for Composite Steel Deck-Slabs

deviation of each of the initial and additional test results from the mean
value of all initial and additional test results is within 20%, or until at
least three additional tests have been performed
10.3.1.3 The resistance factor, , shall be as defined by the established
empirical or rational design methodology.
10.3.1.4 If the mean tested strength of the composite steel deck-slab is
less than the nominal strength computed by the established empirical or
rational design methodology, the testing shall be permitted to be
considered to be performance testing and evaluated in accordance with
Section 10.4.

10.4 Performance Testing

10.4.1 Structural performance shall be evaluated in accordance with the following
procedures:
10.4.1.1 Tests of a Single Configuration: Evaluation of test results based
on a single configuration shall be made on the basis of the mean value of
test data from the results of not fewer than three specimens which are
reflective of the construction for which performance is being evaluated,
provided the deviation of any individual test result from the mean value
obtained from all the tests does not exceed 20 percent from the mean. If
such deviation from the mean value exceeds 20 percent, more tests of
the same kind shall be made until the deviation of any individual test
result from the mean value obtained from all the tests does not exceed
20 percent, or until at least three additional tests have been performed.
The mean value of all tests shall then be regarded as the nominal
strength, Rn, and the coefficient of variation, Vp, shall be determined by
statistical analysis. The resistance factor and factor of safety shall be
determined in accordance with Section 10.5.
10.4.1.2 Evaluation of a Range of Test Configurations: Evaluation of an
analytical or empirical theory to a range of test configurations shall be
based on the ratio of the test results to the analytically predicted value
for that configuration. No fewer than three configurations shall be
tested. The configurations shall include the maximum and minimum
conditions covered by the analytical theory. The resistance factor and
factor of safety shall be determined in accordance with Section 10.5.

10.4.2 Consideration shall be given to any variation of differences between the

specified properties and the actual properties of the specimens used in the tests
by adjustment of tested strength in accordance with Table 10.4.2.

User Note: Table 10.4.2 is intended to be used to adjust tested strength when
the design parameters of the intended product (Fy for instance) differ from the
tested prototype.
