The blocks are designed to support the construction loads between lines of temporary supports with a safety factor of 2.5.  The ribs are keyed into the blocks which tests show provides a 15% sharing of loads between adjoining blocks.

It is advisable to do a non destructive block load test at the beginning of every project to check on strength and to give confidence to those working on the deck.
