About this detail

Angle brace connections for steel framing supporting a concrete-filled metal deck are provided for both parallel and perpendicular deck orientations relative to the supporting beam. The angle brace consists of an L6x6x1/2 angle with four 3/4-inch-diameter Nelson studs located at the troughs of the steel deck, though this angle may be omitted where a beam occurs exterior or at a frame beam as sized per plan. Connections at both ends of the brace utilize a 3/8-inch plate fastened with two 7/8-inch-diameter A325N bolts unless noted otherwise, with the 3/8-inch plate optionally field-welded to beams at the contractor's option. At frame beams, full-height stiffener plates with widths as required for two bolts are welded with 3/16-inch welds on two sides and a ten-inch minimum total weld length. The top connection to the beam is similar to the bottom connection, with brace sizes specified as L4x4x3/8 for lengths under six feet and L6x6x3/8 for lengths between six and ten feet unless noted otherwise.
