About this detail

A C10x15.3 horizontal channel connects to a supporting steel beam with a two-inch minimum horizontal cope as required, secured by three-sided fillet welds. A continuous quarter-inch bent plate runs along the edge, while quarter-inch by four-inch by four-inch typical plates are welded at the edge brace and diagonal braces. An L2x2x3/16 edge angle supports outriggers at each steel beam and at four-foot-zero-inch on-center maximum. An L3x3x1/4 diagonal kicker brace ties back to the structure, with a contractor option to substitute an L3x3x3/8 member connected to the nearest beam. Clearances require a three-quarter-inch minimum gap at brick veneer, curtain wall, or steel stud framing, and a one-and-a-quarter-inch minimum gap at precast framing.
