About this detail

A horizontal C10x15.3 channel chord connects to a steel beam supporting a metal roof deck. A diagonal L3x3x1/4 kicker angle ties into the beam flange using a 1/4 inch plate, with an alternate contractor option to use an L3x3x3/8 angle connected to the nearest beam. At the perimeter, an L2x2x3/16 edge angle supports an outrigger at each beam and at four feet on center maximum. Continuous 1/4 inch bent plates and gusset plates measuring 1/4 inch by 4 inches by 0 feet 4 inches are welded with typical 3/16 inch fillet welds. Clearances require a three-quarter inch minimum gap at brick veneer, curtain wall, or steel stud framing, and a one and one-quarter inch minimum gap at precast framing storefronts.
