Open Table
Deck construction | Typical deck seam length factor |
---|---|
Continuous sheet constructionb: | |
5-feet wide sheets | 0.2c |
6-feet wide sheets | 0.17 |
7-feet wide sheets | 0.14 |
Panel constructiond: | |
5 × 7.5 feet rectangular | 0.33 |

aDeck seam loss applies to bolted decks only. Units for SD are feet per square feet.
b SD = 1/W, where W = sheet width (feet).
cIf no specific information is available, these factors can be assumed to represent the most common bolted decks currently in use.
d SD = (L + W)/LW, where W = panel width (feet), and L = panel length (feet).
