About this detail

A structural gusset plate extends vertically through a concrete slab on metal deck, positioned over a supporting steel beam, truss chord, or beam extension connected to a column. A gusset plate for a brace or truss rises centrally above the top of concrete, flanked by concrete slab reinforcement including top reinforcing bars and transverse reinforcement or welded wire reinforcement terminating at each side of the gusset. Number four reinforcing bars run parallel to each side of the gusset plate, extending development length past the gusset at each end with hooks provided at column conditions. Shear studs are welded to the supporting beam flange and spaced symmetrically around the gusset plate connection. Notes specify stud staggering requirements for typical conditions versus slab edges, as well as uniform distribution where welding access is restricted by connection geometry.
