About this detail

Spacing and placement requirements for shear studs and puddle welds on a composite metal deck running perpendicular to a steel beam or girder. Shear studs are located on the side of the flute toward the nearest end of the beam, maintaining a minimum half-inch clearance and a four-and-a-half-inch minimum spacing. Puddle welds are provided where no stud is present, with an eighteen-inch maximum spacing between studs and puddle welds. Additional studs must be added at ends to meet the number required on plan.
