About this detail

This diagram details the placement and spacing requirements for three-quarter-inch diameter shear connectors welded to the top flange of a steel beam or girder running between columns. The composite metal deck is penetrated by field-welded shear studs which are spaced equally between supports with maximum end distances of one foot. Composite beam notes specify connector height calculations, puddle weld sizes for interrupted deck conditions, minimum spacing rules, and unpainted flange requirements. Studs are placed in pairs across the length of members when required to maintain minimum spacing, and directly over the beam web for thin flanges.
