About this detail

Shear studs are welded through metal deck to the top flange of a structural steel beam, with spacing tailored to the orientation of the deck flutes. For decks running perpendicular or skewed, studs are spaced evenly over the beam length with a maximum spacing of 12 inches, supplemented by puddle welds where no stud is required and additional studs at the ends to meet required counts. For decks running parallel to the beam, studs maintain a 4-1/2 inch minimum and 12-inch maximum spacing, also utilizing additional end studs as needed. The beam is supported by bolted framing connections at both ends.
