Decking — Deck Pour Sequence
Deck Pour Sequence for composite floor and roof deck work.
Composite floors prefer single-pour bays — construction joints in composite slabs need EOR-approved locations, usually at points of low shear. When the volume forces multiple pours, the joint location is an engineering decision made BEFORE the pump truck quotes.
Formula
Note: Erection-planning estimate only. Member weights, connection capacities and tolerances for execution must come from the issued drawings, the EOR and the erection engineer — never from a generic calculator.

About Decking — Deck Pour Sequence
Decking — Deck Pour Sequence computes the governing relationship t = V/rate; pours = ⌈t/shift⌉ live as you type. Composite floors prefer single-pour bays — construction joints in composite slabs need EOR-approved locations, usually at points of low shear. When the volume forces multiple pours, the joint location is an engineering decision made BEFORE the pump truck quotes. Defaults are pre-filled with realistic values for this exact scenario, and the worked example substitutes your numbers step by step so the math is never a black box.
How to use Decking — Deck Pour Sequence
- 1Enter your values — Floor volume, Pump + finish rate, Crew shift limit (sensible defaults are pre-filled).
- 2Read the live results: Pour duration, Pours needed.
- 3Check the "with your numbers" line to see t = V/rate; pours = ⌈t/shift⌉ substituted step by step.
- 4Adjust inputs until the scenario matches yours, then copy or share the result.
Why use Decking — Deck Pour Sequence?
