Abstract: A poured concrete deck structure which extends to the external building line or to a designated line of an internal opening of a building has a form deck which is supported by metal structural girders, including edge girders which are spaced from the building line or designated line, and an edge construction which retains the concrete according the building specifications. The edge construction is improved by terminating the form deck at the edge girders, providing a plurality of spaced support means secured to the top of the edge girders and extending towards the building line or designated line and providing a plurality of adjacent pans for retaining the poured concrete. The pans are supported by at least two supports, and are in communication with an edge girder. The pans may be secured to the edge girder, to the support means, or to both, after proper alignment with the building line or designated line.

Abstract: A panel wall construction using box-tee sheet metal shapes wherein the panels may be inserted in channels of the sheet metal shape or clips may be inserted in slots between the channels of the sheet metal shapes to hold the panels. These same shapes may be used for mullions, base sills, top caps and horizontal stiffeners and horizontal joint assemblies thereby producing a panel wall system wherein no screw-type fasteners are required to hold the panels in place. Disclosed clips hold the box-tee sheet metal shapes and the panels. The disclosed panel wall construction provides a very light weight construction which has great flexibility with respect to panel thickness and width as well as great flexibility of design to accommodate wind loadings.
