Insulating concrete and foamed concrete are two types of insulating concrete that can be used as insulation on a steel roof deck. Is the steel deck used under such concrete required to be a special type of steel deck and why?

What will be an ideal response?


The steel deck used with insulating concrete must be a slotted deck to allow the water in concrete to evaporate from
the underside of the deck because being a watery mix, it has a lot of water. Foamed concrete does not contain as
much water. Although a non-slotted deck may be used with foamed concrete, the use of slotted deck is preferred.
