   Steel Smart System (SSS): SSS is a software tool that aids architects, engineers and contractors in the design and optimization of structures built from light gauge steel. [21] Steel Smart Decks (SSD): SSD is a software tool developed to automate the process of deck system design using cold formed steel. [22]

3. Composite construction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_construction

   A composite steel deck combines the tensile strength of steel with the compressive strength of concrete to improve design efficiency and reduce the material necessary to cover a given area. Additionally, composite steel decks supported by composite steel joists can span greater distances between supporting elements and have reduced live load ...

4. Orthotropic deck - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthotropic_deck

   An orthotropic bridge or orthotropic deck is typically one whose fabricated deck consists of a structural steel deck plate stiffened either longitudinally with ribs or transversely, or in both directions. This allows the fabricated deck both to directly bear vehicular loads and to contribute to the bridge structure's overall load-bearing behaviour.

5. Steel design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_design

   The design and use of steel frames are commonly employed in the design of steel structures. More advanced structures include steel plates and shells . In structural engineering, a structure is a body or combination of pieces of the rigid bodies in space that form a fitness system for supporting loads and resisting moments .

6. Deck (building) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deck_(building)

   A deck is also the surface used to construct a boardwalk over sand on barrier islands. Laying deck or throwing deck refers to the act of placing and bolting down cold-formed steel beneath roofing and concrete floors. This is usually done by an ironworker, sometimes in conjunction with a cement mason or carpenter. It regarded as one of the most ...

7. Open web steel joist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_web_steel_joist

   The main function of an OWSJ is to provide direct support for roof or floor deck and to transfer the load imposed on the deck to the structural frame i.e. beam and column. In order to accurately design an OWSJ, engineers consider the joist span between bearing points, joist spacing, slope, live loads , dead loads , collateral loads, seismic ...
