Abstract A poured concrete insulated deck structure comprising a series of parallel sub-purlins having horizontal flanges extending outwardly at the lower portion of the sub-purlin, a temperature resistant, moisture permeable formboard resting on flanges between adjacent sub-purlins, the formboard having secured to its upper surface rigid synthetic polymer foam having spaces vertically therethrough providing communication from the upper side of the formboard to the upper side of the foam, spaces having an area of more than about 5 percent of the area of the formboard, and poured concrete adjacent the upper side of the foam and extending through the spaces contacting the upper side of the formboard, the concrete completing drying by escape of moisture through the formboard. The structure of this invention results in a unitized structure affording high strength, high insulation properties, fire resistance, design versatility and economy.
A poured concrete insulated deck structure comprising: a series of parallel sub-purlins having horizontal flanges extending outwardly at the lower portion of said sub-purlin; high temperature resistant, moisture permeable formboard, said formboard being a mineral fiber structural board having plastic bonded mineral fibers with an integral mat facing reinforced with parallel glass fiber strands, resting on said flanges between adjacent sub-purlins, said formboard having secured to its upper surface rigid synthetic polymer foam having spaces vertically therethrough providing communication from the upper side of said formboard to the upper side of said foam, said spaces having an area of about 5 to about 20 percent of the area of said formboard; poured concrete adjacent the upper side of said foam and extending through said spaces contacting the upper side of said formboard, said concrete completing drying by escape of moisture through said formboard; reinforcing wire mesh over said foam; and a waterproof wearing surface to the exterior of the poured concrete.
