Abstract
A steel deck structure can comprise a first steel deck panel including an upturned male lip and a second steel deck panel including a downwardly directed U-shaped female channel that can extend over and receive the upturned male lip to form a side-lapped seam. A tool can be used to form an attachment within the side-lapped seam to attach the steel deck panels together. The attachment can comprise one or more slit openings extending through the side-lapped seam and a pair of semi-conical shaped lobes that bulge in an opposite transverse direction from the longitudinal center of the side-lap seam and extend longitudinally along the side-lapped seam in opposite directions from the one or more slit openings. The tool can be powered by a linear actuator and can include a control system that controls the linear actuator for automatically forming the attachments.
