About this detail

Z closure plates attached with typical fasteners bridge gaps between metal deck profiles and depressed brace frame beams. Two conditions are included: one with the metal deck running perpendicular to the beam and another with the deck running parallel. The non-structural closure plates span gaps ranging from one-quarter inch to five-eighths inch, with notes indicating that where gaps are three-sixteenths inch or less, the deck can be pressed down to close the gap. Contractor-determined gauge and attachment methods apply to the Z closure plates, while concrete, reinforcing, and shear studs are omitted for clarity. The installation ensures that the full deck thickness can be poured above the upper deck flutes.
