About this detail

A continuous bent plate measuring 5/16-inch thick is provided at the slab edge when the distance is less than 14 inches, and 3/8-inch thick when between 14 and 18 inches, anchored with 1/2-inch diameter deformed bar anchors at 18 inches on center. A continuous number 5 reinforcing bar runs within the slab edge alongside the steel beam supporting the metal deck. A structural steel brace composed of an L4x4x1/4 angle spaced at a maximum of 6 feet on center connects to the beam web using a 3/8-inch by 5-inch square plate at each brace, welded with 1/4-inch fillet welds. Steel studs and exterior window systems bear directly on and attach to the concrete slab and structural steel framing via supplier connections designed to accommodate vertical deflection and seismic drift. Deeper metal studs are provided where the window system is offset below to accommodate proper attachment.
