About this detail

Metal deck bearing and puddle weld attachment conditions at wide flange beams for both parallel and perpendicular orientations. The assembly features a metal deck bearing directly on a wide-flange beam with a minimum one-and-a-half-inch bearing length. Puddle welds secure the metal deck to the wide-flange beam flange, with a two-inch lap specified at deck splices or an optional top seam weld. For parallel conditions where the wide flange does not occur at a low flute, a split metal deck with an 18-gauge filler plate is provided. General notes require two rows of puddle welds at all drag lines with adjacent puddle welds offset two inches apart when occurring in the same flute.
