About this detail

Shear studs are positioned along the beam axis of a composite steel beam between left and right supports with an equal number of studs placed on each side of the beam midspan. For single rows, studs are centered over the beam web with the first stud located a maximum of 150 millimeters from the support, followed by stud spacing as required. For double rows of studs, parallel configurations maintain specific offsets from the beam axis. Shear studs measure nineteen millimeters in diameter with lengths of 115 millimeters after welding for concrete toppings between 65 and 90 millimeters, or 140 millimeters for toppings greater than 90 millimeters. Where no framing plan quantity is identified, studs are provided at 600 millimeters on center. Remaining studs are sequenced based on whether metal deck flutes run perpendicular or parallel to the beam.
