The Steel Deck Institute (SDI) has developed new design manuals to assist in the use of their consensus floor and roof deck standards. The SDI Floor Deck Design Manual, 1st Edition (FDDM) is based on the requirements of the ANSI/SDI NC-2010 Standard for Non-composite Steel Floor Deck and the ANSI/SDI C-2011 Standard for Composite Steel Floor Deck-Slabs. The SDI Roof Deck Design Manual, 1st Edition (RDDM) is based on the requirements of the ANSI/SDI RD-2010 Standard for Steel Roof Deck. Both manuals contain information on available deck profiles and finishes, and design and installation information. Additionally, both manuals contain extensive tables for design and design examples. This paper will illustrate the key features of both manuals
