About this detail

A C10x15.3 horizontal channel connects to a steel beam with a coped end, welded with a three-sided three-sixteenths inch fillet weld and a one-quarter inch plate measuring four inches by four inches by four inches. An L3x3x1/4 diagonal kicker brace extends down to the steel beam bottom flange, secured with a 1/4 inch by 4 inch by 4 inch plate, with an option for the contractor to substitute an L3x3x3/8 kicker connected to the nearest beam per detail 14/SE601. At the roof edge, an L2x2x3/16 edge angle supports an outrigger at each beam and at four feet on-center maximum, paired with a continuous one-quarter inch bent plate. The assembly maintains a three-quarters inch minimum gap at brick veneer, curtain wall, or steel stud framing, and a one and one-quarter inch minimum gap at precast framing and bypass framing per architectural drawings.
