Full Name
ICC-ES AC379 – Acceptance Criteria for Fastening Systems for Use with Re-entrant-type Steel Deck Panel Profiles
Scope
ICC-ES AC379 outlines the acceptance criteria for fastening systems used with re-entrant-type steel deck panel profiles in building construction. It covers various aspects of product performance, including:
- Strength and load capacity: evaluates the fastening system’s ability to resist uplift and lateral loads in different applications.
- Durability: assesses the system’s resistance to corrosion, fatigue, and other environmental factors.
- Compatibility: ensures the fastening system is compatible with the specific re-entrant-type steel deck panel profile and other building materials.
- Installation: provides guidelines for the proper installation and use of the fastening system.
The purpose of AC379 is to provide a standardized framework for evaluating these fastening systems, ensuring they meet the minimum requirements for safety and performance in building construction under the International Building Code (IBC).
