PSI System: B

Dovetail Deck

System “B” consists of load-bearing structural stud (braced) walls with a 2” inch deep, Dovetail formed metal deck acting as a permanent form to receive a composite concrete slab. This system affords long spans, typically 16 to 20 feet, with continuous bearing, eliminating the need for load distribution members.

The longer spans allow more flexibility in locating load-bearing walls, suitable for almost any type of multi-story residential construction.
