About this detail

Roof edge overhang conditions supported by steel beams with bent closure plates, outriggers, and diagonal kickers. Metal roof deck bearing on structural steel beams with a continuous bent plate closure sizing table based on overhang length, ranging from 3/16 inch for overhangs under 6 inches to 5/16 inch for overhangs between 10 and 12 inches. For overhangs between 12 and 28 inches, a C10x15.3 horizontal channel and an L3x3x1/4 diagonal kicker are incorporated, with options to upsize the kicker to L3x3x3/8 and connect to the nearest beam. Connection plates measuring 1/4"x4"x0'-4" are typically welded at edge braces and diagonal braces using three-sided fillet welds. Clearances require a three-quarter inch minimum gap at brick veneer, curtain walls, or steel stud framing, and a one and one-quarter inch minimum gap at precast framing.
