About this detail

A concrete slab over metal floor deck bears on a steel beam with a cantilevered edge condition featuring a continuous number five reinforcing bar and a bent plate anchored with half-inch diameter dowels at twenty-four inches on center with one-inch concrete cover. An L3x3x1/4 diagonal kicker angle extends from the steel beam up to the slab edge assembly, utilizing a PL3/8"x4"x1'-3" plate secured with two 5/8" diameter by 5" embed wedge anchors or cast-in-place headed anchors. The contractor has the option to change the kicker to an L3x3x3/8 angle connected to the nearest beam while maintaining slope limits, or provide a bolted connection using two 7/8" diameter A325 bolts instead of field welds. An L2x2x3/16 edge angle supports the outrigger at each beam and at four feet on center maximum, maintaining a three-quarter-inch minimum gap at the steel stud framing bypass. Typical connections utilize 3/16-inch fillet welds and 1/4"x4"x0'-4" plates at the diagonal brace.
