COMPOSITE AND SUPPORT STRUCTURES

摘要

A method of constructing a composite structure (10) comprises the steps of: (i) attaching light gauge sheeting to a plurality of joists that have been sufficiently closely spaced so that the sheeting is able to support a cementitious slab that has formed a composite structure with the sheeting and joists; (ii) forming the cementitious slab on the sheeting to form the composite structure; and (iii) supporting the joists until the cementitious slab has sufficiently cured.
