INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the BONDEK structural steel decking design and construction
manual. We have simplified the work of engineers with this single book which
replaces two previous publications. Further, it was developed to latest
versions of relevant British Standards and includes advanced design of
formwork and design for fire.
BONDEK is a profiled steel sheeting widely accepted by the building

construction industry to be highly economical, versatile and robust. It has
been used to great effect on many major building projects, as well as
countless small ones. It can be used as a formwork as well as a reinforcement
system for composite concrete slab construction.
This new publication is based on our extensive research conducted on BONDEK

profiled steel sheeting, so the information is not applicable to other sheeting
profiles.
LYSAGHT
This manual implements several major new technical developments:

• Linear elastic analysis of continuous composite slabs
• Increased unsupported spans of BONDEK sheeting at the formwork stage due
to inclusion of negative moment region capacities
• Design for reliable control of flexural cracking in support regions; and
• Economical design for fire due to BONDEK sheeting being partially effective
for fire rating of up to 120 min.
This publication contains complete technical information on the following

grades of BONDEK:
• BONDEK 0.75 mm thickness
• BONDEK 1.00 mm thickness
• BONDEK 1.20 mm thickness (Includes data for recently introduced 1.2mm).
These developments allow you to make significant improvements compared
with the design methods we previously published for slabs using BONDEK.
Additionally, BONDEK 2003BS software has been developed which would allow
you to get quicker and more economical solutions with more options. Call our
Customer Support Centres (listed on the front cover) to obtain a copy of the
software.

1 FEATURES AND APPLICATIONS
1.1 SPANNING CAPACITIES
New design rules have been developed for the design of BONDEK acting as a
BONDEK
structural formwork for the construction of composite and non-composite
slabs (where BONDEK is used as lost formwork). The rules for calculating
moment capacities are based on testing performed at BlueScope Steel
Technology facility at Chester Hill, Sydney Australia.
The data obtained allowed us to include moment capacities in negative
regions of the design model in accordance to BS 5950: Part 4: 1994 and
reference document in this Standard: Technical Note 116: Design of profiled
sheeting as permanent formwork. As a consequence, the span limits that
previously applied to BONDEK in continuous spans have been increased by up
to 12%.
1.2 COMPOSITE ACTION

BONDEK has a very high shear-bond capacity. Due to this, BONDEK slabs do
not normally have limitations on imposed loads on typical spans unlike
trapezoidal profiles.
1.3 DESIGN EFFICIENCY

The range of BONDEK gauges available (0.75 mm, 1.0 mm and 1.2 mm) allows
much closer matching of design requirements and deck performance. BONDEK
1.2 mm is not available in the design tables and software. However, the
solutions with this BONDEK 1.2 thickness may be designed by our Customer
Support Centre.
1.4 ECONOMICAL DESIGN FOR FIRE

BONDEK sheeting was conservatively treated as ineffective in our previous
®
publications.
Fire tests conducted recently at Victoria University of Technology showed that
BONDEK has some capacity in fire up to 120 min. Effective area of BONDEK is
mainly concentrated in top flanges of the profile. Lap joints fully cast in
concrete contribute more than dovetail ribs. Fire tests have been conducted
to investigate temperatures within concrete body and within BONDEK sheeting
itself as well as effect of elevated temperatures on shear bond capacity.
BONDEK sheeting capacity was included in fire calculations as a result of this
research. No additional fire reinforcement may be necessary in many design
cases.
1.5 QUICKER TROUBLE-FREE INSTALLATION

The installation of BONDEK follows simple, familiar and widely accepted
practice. BONDEK is available in long lengths so large areas can be quickly and
easily covered to form a safe working platform during construction. The bold
embossements along the top of the ribs of BONDEK enhance safety by
reducing the likelihood of workers slipping.

2.3 SHEETING
BONDEK is rolled-formed from hot dipped, zinc-coated, high tensile steel, in
base metal thickness (BMT) of 1.2, 1.0 and 0.75mm.
The steel conforms to both AS 1397 and BS EN 10147, and:
• for 1.2 BMT the grade is G500;
• for 1.0 and 0.75 BMT the grade is G550.
The coating is Z350 (350g/m2 minimum coating mass) or Z450 (450g/m2

minimum coating mass) on both sides.
Embossments on the top of flanges provide the mechanical connection
between the steel and concrete.
2.4 CONCRETE
All tables have been developed for the C30 concrete with normal density of
2400 kg/m3 (wet density). Other concrete grades are available in the BONDEK
2003BS software.
2.5 REINFORCEMENT
Steel reinforcement is necessary to control shrinkage and temperature
effects, as flexural negative reinforcement over supports and in some
instances for fire engineering purposes. It shall comply with requirements of
BS 4449:1997 for bars and with BS 4483:1998 for fabric.
Reinforcement Grade 460B shall be specified.
2.6 SHEAR CONNECTORS

Shear studs for composite beams may be specified with BONDEK concrete
slabs as required by BS 5959:Part 3: section 3.1 where relevant. Strength
reduction factors are not applicable since BONDEK forms a solid slab. Shear
studs shall not be considered when composite beams are not a design
option such as concrete frame buildings or composite slabs supported by
masonry walls.
2.7 DESIGN METHODS

There are three ways you can design concrete slabs using BONDEK:
• Using the design tables given in this manual.
BONDEK
• Calculate from first principles using relevant British Standards and data
from this manual and available through BlueScope Lysaght, Singapore and
Lysaght Technology at Chester Hill, Sydney Australia.
• Run our software. This is also likely to produce more economical design .
The software allows input of parameters which are not available in tables
such as grades of concrete other than C30.

2.8 FORMWORK DESIGN
The BONDEK formwork shall be designed in accordance to BS 5950:
Part 4: 1994 and BS 5950: Part 6: 1995 and Technical Note 116: Design of
profile sheeting as permanent formwork
BONDEK bending capacities have been confirmed by tests conducted at the
Lysaght Technology facility at Chester Hill, Sydney, Australia.
Our design tables can be used to detail BONDEK acting as a structural
formwork, provided the following conditions are satisfied:
• The support lines extend across the full width of the sheeting and have a
minimum bearing of 50 mm at the ends of the sheets when rest on steel or
concrete and 70 mm when rest on other materials such as masonry wall.
• The sheets continue within each slab span length without any overlaps or
intermediate splicing or jointing longitudinally.
• The sheets are designed as single or continuous span formwork.
• The slab has a uniform cross section.
• The formwork is not used as a restraint to supporting steel beams during
construction. When necessary, restraint capacities can be analysed using
first principles.
• Separate consideration is given to sides of the sheeting where edges shall
be restrained.
• BONDEK sheeting ends shall be securely fixed to the supporting structure
• The ratio of the longer slab span to the shorter slab span (Ll/Ls) of any two
adjacent spans does not exceed 1.2 (i.e. Ll/Ls ≤ 1.2).
• The supports are effectively rigid such that their vertical deflections
during the construction phase can be ignored in design. Figure 2.3

1) Construction Stage 1 is defined as being prior to the placement of concrete, and Stage 2 as during the placement of concrete up until the concrete hardens.
2) Gdc includes an allowance for concrete ponding and the weight of steel reinforcement.
3) Both distributed and line load cases must be considered separately.

2.9 COMPOSITE SLAB DESIGN
The BONDEK composite slabs shall be designed in accordance to BS 5950: Part
4: 1994, BS 8110: Part 1: 1997, BS 8110: Part2: 1985, BS 4449: 1997. AS
3600-2001 may be used where relevant.
The design concept is based on "k" and "m" method. Data about shear-
bond capacity have been obtained from full-scale tests and supplementary
small-scale slip-block tests. The tables provide with solutions for steel frame
or masonry wall types of construction.
Our design tables and software can be used to design composite slabs with
BONDEK, provided the following conditions are satisfied:
• It is a common practice to design continuous slabs as a series of single
spans. Minimum nominal reinforcement at intermediate supports shall be
specified in this case in accordance to BS5950: Part4: 1994, Clause 6.8. It
shall be noted that nominal reinforcement will not prevent formation of
BONDEK
wide cracks over supports - requirements of BS8110: Part 1: 1994, Clause
3.5.8 for crack control will not be satisfied. Increased slab thickness may be
required in many instances when continuous slabs are designed as a series
of simply supported spans.

• The ratio of longer slab span (Ll) to the shorter slab span (Ls) of any two
adjacent spans does not exceed 1.2, that is Ll/Ls<=1.2.
• The bending moments at the supports are only caused by the action of vertical
loads applied to the slab.
• The first interior span shall have the same thickness as the end span.
• The geometry of the steel sheeting profile shall conform to the dimensions
and tolerances shown on our production drawings.
Sheeting with embossments of a depth less than that specified on these
drawings shall not be used as composites unless the values of "k’ and "m" are
revised.
• The specified concrete strength grade is in the range C30 to C40 (only C30 is
available in tables). The wet concrete density must be 2400 kg/m3 for normal
weight concrete. The concrete shall follow the recommendations given in BS
8110.
• Composite action must be assumed to exist between the steel sheeting and
the concrete once the concrete in the slab has attained a compressive strength
of 20 MPa. Prior to the development of composite action during construction,
LYSAGHT
potential damage to the shear connection must be avoided, and maximum

construction imposed loads shall be limited to 1.5 kPa.
• Reinforcement Pattern 2 shall be used when imposed load exceeds twice the
dead load.
2.10 DESIGN FOR FIRE

The BONDEK composite slabs shall be designed for fire conditions in accordance
to BS 5950-8: 1990, BS 476-20: 1987 and BS 476-21: 1987.
Reduction factors are applied to allow for the adverse effect of elevated
temperatures on the mechanical properties of concrete and steel. Values of
these reduction factors have been derived from fire tests conducted at Victoria
University of Technology and extensive finite element analysis of BONDEK
composite slabs.
Reduced shear bond capacity is also considered for elevated temperatures.
Our tables may be used to detail BONDEK composite slabs when the soffit is
exposed to fire provided the following conditions are satisfied:
• The composite slab acts as a one-way element spanning in the direction of the
sheeting ribs for both room temperature and fire conditions.
• The composite slab has been initially designed and detailed for room
temperature conditions in accordance to this manual.
• The fire design load is essentially uniformly distributed and static in nature.
• Adequate detailing of slab jointing, edges, slab holes and cavities (for
penetrating, embedded or encased services) to provide the appropriate fire
resistance period. Alternatively the local provision of suitable protection (such
as fire spray material) will be necessary.
• The fire periods are 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 or 240 min.

4 CONSTRUCTION
4.1 SAFETY
BONDEK is available in long lengths, so large areas can be quickly and easily
covered to form a safe working platform during construction. One level of
formwork gives immediate protection from the weather, and safety to people
working on the floor below. The minimal propping requirements provide a
relatively open area to the floor below.
The bold embossments along the top of the ribs of BONDEK enhance safety by
reducing the likelihood of workers slipping. Some Lysaght centres, may
supply BONDEK with knurling on the upper face of the flutes, which provides
even more safety against slippage.
It is commonsense to work safely, protecting yourself and workmates from
accidents on the site. Safety includes the practices you use; as well as
personal protection of eyes and skin from sunburn, and hearing from noise.
For personal safety, and to protect the surface finish of BONDEK, wear clean
dry gloves. Don’t slide sheets over rough surfaces or over each other. Always
carry tools, don’t drag them.
Occupational health and safety laws enforce safe working conditions in most
locations. Local laws may require you to have fall protection which includes
safety mesh, personal harnesses and perimeter guardrails where they are
appropriate. We recommend that you adhere strictly to all laws that apply to
your State.
BONDEK is capable of withstanding temporary construction loads including the
mass of workmen, equipment and materials as specified in Section 2.8 of this
manual. However, it is good construction practice to ensure protection from
concentrated loads, such as barrows, by use of some means such as planks
LYSAGHT
and/or boards.
4.2 INSTALLATION
BONDEK is delivered in strapped bundles. If not required for immediate use
stack sheets or bundles neatly and clear of the ground, on a slight slope to
allow drainage of water. If left in the open, protect with waterproof covers.

4.2.1 PROPPING
It is a common practice to specify unpropped BONDEK formwork, however,
depending on the span of a BONDEK slab, temporary propping may be
needed between the slab supports to prevent excessive deflections or
collapse of the formwork.
BONDEK formwork is normally placed directly on prepared propping. Props
must stay in place during the laying of BONDEK formwork, the placement of
the concrete, and until the concrete has reached the strength of 20 MPa.
Propping generally consists of substantial timber or steel bearers supported
by vertical props. The bearers must be continuous across the full width of
BONDEK formwork.
Where the underside of BONDEK formwork is featured as a finished ceiling,
wide form-ply strips attached to the bearers will minimise marking. The width
of the form-ply strips depends upon the slab depth, BONDEK metal thickness
and spans. Form-ply strips of 300 mm width have been used successfully.
BONDEK
Propping must be adequate to support construction loads and the mass of
wet concrete. The number of props you need for given spans is shown in our
tables.
Method 1
Position Bondek sheet
parallel with
4.2.2 LAYING
previously-laid sheet. BONDEK must be laid with the sheeting ribs aligned in the direction of the
Interlock sheets by designed spans. Other details include the following:
applying pressure to
either position. • The slab supports must be prepared for bearing and slip joints as
required.
• Lay BONDEK sheets continuously over each slab span without any
intermediate splicing or jointing.
• Lay BONDEK sheets end to end. Centralise the joint at the slab supports.
Where jointing material is required the sheets may be butted against the
jointing material.
• Support BONDEK sheets across their full width at the slab support lines and
at the propping support lines.
• For the supports to carry the wet concrete and construction loads, the
minimum bearing is 50 mm for ends of BONDEK sheets, and 100 mm for
Method 2 intermediate supports over which the sheeting is continuous.
Position Bondek sheet • In exposed applications, treat the end and edges of the BONDEK sheets
at an angle. with a suitable edge treatment to prevent entry of moisture.
Interlock sheets by
lowering sheet through
an arc. 4.2.3 INTERLOCKING THE SHEETS
®
Overlapping ribs of BONDEK sheeting are interlocked. Either of two methods
can be used in most situations, though variations may also work.
In the first method, lay adjacent sheets loosely in place. Place the female lap
rib overlapping the male lap rib of the previous sheet and apply foot
pressure, or a light kick, to the female lap rib (Figure 4.2).
Figure 4.2
Two methods of interlocking In the second method, offer a new sheet at an angle to one previously laid,
adjacent BONDEK sheets and then simply lower it down, through an arc (see Figure 4.2).
If sheets don’t interlock neatly (perhaps due to some damage or distortion
from site handling or construction practices) use screws to pull the laps
together tightly (see Section 4.2.8, Fastening side-lap joints).
39
4.2.4 SECURING THE PLATFORM
Once laid, BONDEK provides a stable working platform. BONDEK shall be fixed to
supporting structure at end supports with screws or nails or equivalent. Where
additional security is needed you can use:
• weights;
• screws or nails into the propping bearers
• BONWEDGE and BON-NUT Suspension system pulling down from underneath.
LYSAGHT
Take care if you use penetrating fasteners (such as screws and nails) because
they can make removal of the props difficult, and perhaps result in damage to
the BONDEK.
4.2.5 INSTALLING BONDEK ON STEEL FRAMES

BONDEKmay be installed directly on erected structural steelwork.
General fastening of BONDEK
The sheeting shall be fixed to the structural steel using spot welds, or fasteners
such as drive nails or self-drilling screws.
Place the fixings (fasteners and spot welds) in the flat areas of the pans adjacent
to the ribs or between the flutes. The frequency of fixings depends on wind or
seismic conditions and good building practice. However at least one fastener
per pan shall be provided at end supports.
One fixing system is as follows.
• At the end of sheets: use a fixing at every rib (Figure 4.3).
• At each intermediate slab support over which the sheeting is continuous:
use a fixing at the ribs on both edges (Figure 4.3).
• Fix BONDEK with drive nails, self-drilling screws or spot welds.
• Drive nails should be powder-activated, steel nails 4 mm nominal diameter,
suitable for structural steel of 4 mm thickness or greater.
• For structural steel up to 12 mm thick, use 12-24 x 38 mm self-drilling
hexagon head screws or equivalent.
• For structural steel over 12 mm thick, pre-drill and use 12-24 x 16 mm
hexagon head screws or equivalent.
• Spot welds should be 12 mm minimum diameter. Surfaces to be welded
must be free of loose material and foreign matter. Where the BONDEK soffit
or the structural steelwork has a pre-painted surface, securing methods
other than welding may be more appropriate. Take suitable safety
precautions against fumes during welding zinc coated products.
Fastening composite beams
Stud welding through the sheet has been considered a suitable securing
method for the sheeting in a composite beam; however some preliminary fixing
by one of the methods mentioned above is necessary to secure the sheeting
prior to the stud welding. Some relevant welding requirements are:
• Mating surfaces of steel beam and sheeting to be cleaned of scale, rust,
moisture, paint, overspray, primer, sand, mud or other contamination that
would prevent direct contact between the parent material and the BONDEK;
• Welding must be done in dry conditions by a certified welder;
• For pre-painted BONDEK sheets, special welding procedures may be
necessary; and
• For sheets transverse to beams, Stud welding must be between pan flutes
to ensure there is no gap between mating surfaces.

4.2.6 INSTALLING BONDEK ON BRICK
SUPPORTS
Brick walls are usually considered to be brittle and liable to crack from
imposed horizontal loads. Thermal expansion and contraction, long-term
shrinkage, creep effects and flexural deflection of concrete slabs may be
sufficient to cause such cracking. To prevent the cracking, BONDEK slabs are not
usually installed directly on brick supports, although this is not always the case
in earthquake construction.
Slip joints
Generally, a slip joint is provided between BONDEK and masonry supports
(Figure 4.4).
• At least one fastener per pan (screws, nails, or equivalent) shall be
provided at end support.
• Slip joint material may be placed directly in contact with the cleaned
surface of steelwork.
• The top course of masonry should be level, or finished with a levelled bed
of mortar to provide an even bearing surface. Lay the top courses of bricks
with the frogs facing down.
• The width of a slip joint should not extend beyond the face of the slab
support.
• The slip joint material must have adequate compressive strength to avoid
it being compressed into irregularities of the mating surfaces and thus
becoming a rigid joint.
Slip joint material must allow movement to occur, usually by allowing flow
under pressure or temperature, however it must not run or solidify. Generically,
the materials are a non-rotting, synthetic carrier impregnated with a neutral
synthetic or petroleum-based material.

4.2.7 CONSTRUCTION AND MOVEMENT
JOINTS
Joints used between BONDEK slabs generally follow accepted construction
practices. Construction joints are included between slabs for the convenience
of construction. Movement joints allow relative movement between adjoining
slabs. The joints may be transverse to, or parallel with, the span of the
BONDEK slab. Movement joints need a slip joint under the BONDEK sheeting.
(Figure 4.4).
The BONDEK sheeting and any slab reinforcement are not continuous through
a joint.
Design engineers generally detail the location and spacing of joints because
joints effect the design of a slab.
4.2.8 FASTENING SIDE LAP JOINTS

If BONDEK sheeting has been distorted in transport, storage or erection, side-
lap joints may need fastening to maintain a stable platform during
construction, to minimise concrete seepage during pouring, and to gain a
good visual quality for exposed soffits (Figure 4.5).
4.2.9 CUTTING AND FITTING EDGE FORM

EDGE FORM is a simple C-shaped section that simplifies the installation of most
BONDEK slabs. It is easily fastened to the BONDEK sheeting, neatly retaining the
concrete and providing a smooth top edge for quick and accurate screeding.
We make it to suit any slab thickness.
EDGE FORM is easily spliced and bent to form internal and external corners of
any angle and must be fitted and fully fastened as the sheets are installed.
LYSAGHT
There are various methods of forming corners and splices. Some of these
methods are shown in Figures 4.6 and 4.7.
Fasten EDGE FORM to the underside of unsupported BONDEK panels every 300
mm. The top flange of EDGE FORM must be tied to the ribs every 600 mm with
hoop iron 25 mm x 1.0 mm (Figures 4.7 and 4.15). Use 10–16 x 16 mm
self-drilling screws.

4.2.10 SEALING
Seepage of water or fine concrete slurry can be minimised by following
common construction practices. Generally gaps are sealed with waterproof
tape or by sandwiching contraction joint material between the abutting ends
of BONDEK sheet. If there is a sizeable gap you may have to support the
waterproof tape, and BONFILL may be found useful (Figure 4.8).

joint material and many more.

4.2.12 HOLES
BONDEK acts as longitudinal tensile reinforcement similarly to conventional bar
or fabric reinforcement does in concrete slabs. Consequently, holes in BONDEK
sheets, to accommodate pipes and ducts, reduce the effective area of the
steel sheeting and can adversely effect the performance of a slab.
Some guidelines for holes are (Figure 4.10):
• Place holes in the central pan of any sheet, with a minimum edge
distance of 15 mm from the rib gap.
• Holes should be round, with a maximum diameter of 150 mm.
• For slabs designed as a continuous slab: space holes from an interior
support of the slab no more than one tenth of a clear span.

4.2.13 INSPECTION
We recommend regular qualified inspection during the installation, to be sure
that the sheeting is installed in accordance with this publication and good
building practice.
BONDEK
4.2.14 CUTTING
It is easy to cut BONDEK sheets to fit. Use a power saw fitted with an abrasive
disc or metal cutting blade. Initially lay the sheet with its ribs down, cut
through the pans and part-through the ribs, then turn the over and finish by
cutting the tops of the ribs.
4.3 REINFORCEMENT
BONDEK sheeting acts as longitudinal tensile reinforcement. The condition of
sheeting should be inspected before concrete is poured.
Reinforcement in slabs carries and distributes the design loads and to control
cracking. Reinforcement is generally described as transverse and longitudinal
in relation to span, but other reinforcement required for trimming may be
positioned in other orientations. Figure 4.11 shows a typical cross-section of
a BONDEK composite slab and associated terms.
Reinforcement must be properly positioned, lapped where necessary to
ensure continuity, and tied to prevent displacement during construction.
Fixing of reinforcement shall be in accordance with BS-8110: Part 1.
To ensure the specified minimum concrete cover, the uppermost layer of
reinforcement must be positioned and tied to prevent displacement during
construction.
Where fabric is used in thin slabs, or where fabric is used to act as both
longitudinal and transverse reinforcement, pay particular attention the
required minimum concrete cover and the required design reinforcement
depth at the splices—splice bars are a prudent addition.
®
Always place chairs and spacers on pan areas. Depending upon the type of
chair and its loading, it may be necessary to use plates under chairs to
protect the BONDEK, particularly where the soffit will be exposed. Transverse
reinforcement may be used for spacing or supporting longitudinal
reinforcement.

4.3.1 TRANSVERSE REINFORCEMENT

Transverse reinforcement is placed at right-angles to the ribs of BONDEK.
Deformed bar or fabric reinforcement may be used. In most applications the
transverse reinforcement is for the control of cracks caused by shrinkage and
temperature effects, and for locating longitudinal reinforcement
To control flexural cracking in the top face of the slab, transverse
reinforcement in the top-face may be required over walls or beams which run
in the same direction as the BONDEK sheets.
For ease of construction, reinforcement for control of cracking due to
shrinkage and temperature is usually fabric reinforcement.
45
4.3.2 LONGITUDINAL REINFORCEMENT
Longitudinal reinforcement is positioned to carry design loads in the same
direction as the ribs of BONDEK. Deformed bar or fabric reinforcement may be
used.
Top-face longitudinal reinforcement is usually located over interior supports
of the slab and extends into approximately a third of the adjoining spans.
Bottom-face longitudinal reinforcement is located between supports of the
LYSAGHT
slab but, depending upon the detailing over the interior supports, it may be
continuous, lapped, or discontinuous. Bottom-face longitudinal reinforcement
may be placed on top of or below transverse reinforcement.
Location of bottom-face longitudinal reinforcement in elevated temperatures
requires special design. (Figure 2.6)
4.3.3 TRIMMERS
Trimmers are used to distribute the design loads to the structural portion of
the slab and/or to control cracking of the concrete at penetrations, fittings
and re-entrant corners. Deformed bar or fabric reinforcement may be used.
Trimmers are sometimes laid at angles other than along or across the span,
and generally located between the top and bottom layers of transverse and
longitudinal reinforcement. Trimmers are generally fixed with ties from the
top and bottom layers of reinforcement.
4.4 CONCRETE
4.4.1 SPECIFICATION
The concrete is to have the compressive strength as specified in the project
documentation and the materials for the concrete and the concrete
manufacture should conform to BS8110: Part 1: 1997, Section 6.
4.4.2 CONCRETE ADDITIVES

Admixtures or concrete materials containing calcium chloride or other
chloride salts must not be used. Chemical admixtures including plasticisers
may be used if they comply with BS8110.
4.4.3 PREPARATION
Before concrete is placed, remove any accumulated debris, grease or any
other substance to ensure a clean bond with the BONDEK sheeting. Remove
ponded rainwater.
4.4.4 CONSTRUCTION JOINTS

It is accepted building practice to provide construction joints where a
concrete pour is to be stopped. Such discontinuity may occur as a result of a
planned or unplanned termination of a pour. A pour may be terminated at
the end of a day’s work, because of bad weather or equipment failure. Where
unplanned construction joints are made, the design engineer must approve
the position.
In certain applications, the addition of water stops may be required, such as
in roof and balcony slabs where protection from corrosion of reinforcement
and sheeting is necessary.
Construction joints transverse to the span of the BONDEK sheeting are
normally located where shear forces are a minimum (such as the mid-third of
a slab span) and ideally over a line of propping. Locate longitudinal
construction joints in the pan (Figure 4.12).
Form construction joints with a vertical face—the easiest technique is to
sandwich a continuous reinforcement between two boards.
Prior to recommencement of concreting, the construction joint must be
prepared to receive the new concrete, and the preparation method will
depend upon the age and condition of the old concrete. Generally, thorough
cleaning is required to remove loose material, to roughen the surface and to
expose the course aggregate.

4.4.5 PLACING
The requirements for the handling and placing of the concrete are
covered in BS8110: Part 1: 1997, Section 6.2.
BONDEK
The concrete is placed between construction joints in a continuous
operation so that new concrete is placed against plastic concrete to
produce a monolithic mass. If the pouring has to be discontinued for any
more than approximately one hour, depending on the temperature, a
construction joint may be required.
Start pouring close to one end and spread concrete uniformly, preferably
over two or more spans. It is good practice to avoid excessive heaping of
concrete and heavy load concentrations. When concrete is transported by
wheel barrows, the use of planks or boards is recommended.
During pouring, the concrete should be thoroughly compacted, worked
around ribs and reinforcement, and into corners of the EDGE FORMS by
using a vibrating compactor. Ensure that the reinforcement remains
correctly positioned so that the specified minimum concrete cover is
achieved.
Unformed concrete surfaces are screeded and finished to achieve the
specified surface texture, cover to reinforcement, depths, falls or other
surface detailing.
Surfaces which will be exposed, such as EDGE FORMS and exposed soffits,
should be cleaned of concrete spills while still wet, to reduce subsequent
work.
®
47
4.4.6 CURING
After placement, the concrete is cured by conventional methods, for
example, by keeping the slab moist for at least seven days, by covering the
surface with sand, building paper or polythene sheeting immediately after it
has been moistened with a fine spray of water. Follow good building
practice. Be particularly careful when curing in very hot or very cold weather.
Until the concrete has cured, it is good practice to avoid concentrated loads
such as barrows and passageways with heavy traffic.
4.4.7 WHEN TO REMOVE PROPS

Various factors affect the earliest time when the props may be removed and a
slab initially loaded. Methods of calculating times and other guides are given
in AS 3610—1995, Clause 5.4.3
4.5 FINISHING
4.5.1 SOFFIT AND EDGE FORM FINISHES
For many applications, BONDEK gives an attractive appearance to the
underside (or soffit) of a composite slab, and will provide a satisfactory
ceiling—for example, in car parks, under-house storage and garages,
industrial floors and the like. Similarly, EDGE FORM will give a suitable edging.
Additional finishes take minimal extra effort.
Where the BONDEK soffit is to be the ceiling, take care during construction to
minimise propping marks (refer to Installation—Propping), and to provide a
uniform surface at the side-laps (refer to Installation—Fastening Side-lap Figure 4.13
BONSTRIP makes an attractive

preparation for any following finishes.
4.5.2 PLASTERING
Finishes such as vermiculite plaster can be applied directly to the underside
of BONDEK with the open rib providing a positive key. With some products it
may be necessary to treat the galvanised steel surface with an appropriate
bonding agent prior to application.
Plaster-based finishes can be trowelled smooth, or sprayed on to give a
textured surface. They can also be coloured to suit interior design
requirements.
4.5.3 CHANGE OF FLOOR LOADINGS

Where a building is being refurbished, or there is a change of occupancy and
floor use, you may need to increase the fire resistance of the BONDEK
composite slabs. This may be achieved by the addition of a suitable fire-
protection material to the underside of the slabs. The open ribs of BONDEK
provide a positive key to keep the fire spray in position. Such work is beyond
the scope of this manual.
48
4.6 SUSPENDED CEILINGS & SERVICES
4.6.1 PLASTERBOARD
A BONDEK soffit may be covered with plasterboard by fixing to
battens.
Fixing to battens
Steel ceiling battens can be fixed directly to the underside of
the slab using powder-actuated fasteners. The plasterboard is
then fixed to ceiling battens in the usual way (Figure 4.14).

4.6.2 SUSPENDED CEILING

Ceilings are easily suspended from BONDEK slabs using Ceiling Suspension
Nuts, BON-NUT suspension nuts, or BONWEDGE suspension brackets. Threaded
rods or wire hangers are then used to support the ceiling. Alternatively,
hangers may be attached to eyelet pins powder-driven into the underside of
the slab, or to pigtail hangers inserted through pilot holes in the BONDEK
sheeting before concreting (Figure 4.15).
