About this detail

An exterior slab edge assembly features concrete over a metal floor deck supported by structural steel beams. Outriggers fabricated from hollow structural sections (HSS 3x3x1/4) are coped to the beam flanges and spaced at four feet on center maximum. Kickers made from L4x4x1/4 angles connect each outrigger with a welded plate measuring 1/4 inch by 4 inches by 4 inches, secured by three-sixteenths inch fillet welds. Cold-formed metal framing consists of six-inch by eighteen-gauge studs (600S162-43) at sixteen inches on center supporting exterior sheathing and continuous track at the glazing interface. Single five-eighths inch plug welds are applied at each hollow structural section connection.
