Describe cellular steel-floor raceway systems and its advantages.

What will be an ideal response?


?Cellular steel-floor raceway systems consist of metal decking with wiring raceways and a structural concrete slab on top. The cellular raceways provide space to run electrical wiring, telephone lines, and data cables. These connect to a large main header duct that has a removable cover for lay-in wiring. Inserts provide access through the concrete slab to the wiring in the raceway. The cellular system provides a fire-resistant barrier between floors, serves as a form for pouring the concrete deck, and provides tensile reinforcement for the concrete floor slab. Metal decking is generally plug-welded to the steel beams, girders, and joists.
