$1-16.$ Determine an appropriate floor deck thickness $($gauge$)$ and beam spacing for the typical bay and floor deck detail shown in Figure $1-30.$ Note that the depth of the composite metal deek and the total depth of the concrete$-$on$-$metal deck are given. Assume only a $2-$span condition exists. Total floor dead load $=80psf($includes the weight of the floor slab and deck$)$ and the live load is $175$ psf $.$ Neglect the weight of the framing in your calculations.
