About this detail

A handrail vertical post attaches to a concrete slab edge and steel floor framing. A continuous three-eighths-inch bent plate matches the slab thickness and extends its vertical leg upward to function as a kick plate. Number four by two-foot ASTM A706 weldable dowels spaced at sixteen inches on center anchor into the concrete over metal deck and reinforce the slab edge, with a dowel positioned within six inches of each handrail vertical and welded to the bent plate. L3x3x1/4x0'-4" angles with one-quarter-inch stiffeners connect the deck edge to the handrail verticals, utilizing three-sixteenths-inch and one-quarter-inch fillet welds as specified. The supporting beam is sized per plan, and deck attachments refer to sheet S5.101.
