Stud shear connectors are welded through the metal deck to the top flange of the supporting steel beam to provide composite action with the concrete slab. The detail defines the centerline alignment, spacing, and clearance requirements for the shear studs relative to the beam web. Proper placement ensures adequate transfer of horizontal shear forces between the steel framing and the concrete topping.
