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. The edge construction may be installed without sub-deck support or scaffolding beneath the deck during construction.
