The panels were placed into bulb tee slots at right angles to bar joists. The bar joists were 5 ft apart of the tees, which were 30 1/2 in. apart. The rooftop was approximately 22 ft above a 6 in. thick poured concrete deck. The equipment was Permadeck panels of wood fibers/Portland cement banded under pressure.
