These structural details illustrate composite metal deck and concrete slab edges supported by structural steel beams, showing both parallel and perpendicular deck configurations. An edge form supplied by the metal deck manufacturer is positioned at the slab perimeter with a design requiring no shoring. Shear connectors are placed along the top flange of the steel beam as specified per plan. Reinforcing includes continuous number four bars where number three hooks occur, along with number three bars spaced per the provided overhang spacing schedule maintaining three-quarters of an inch clearance from the top of the slab.
