About this detail

Headed studs in a single row are placed directly over the beam web, utilizing two or three rows only when needed to achieve the total specified stud count. Studs are spaced equally along the beam or per bay, with a four-inch minimum and twelve-inch maximum spacing, and located outside of protected zones. When flutes run parallel to the beam below, the metal deck is split where necessary to fit stud spacing. Studs are positioned adjacent to stiffening ribs on the side away from midspan where possible, maintaining a four and one-half inch minimum edge distance from the face of the column or perpendicular beam.
