A metal deck bears on a steel beam flange with a one-inch fillet weld spaced at twelve inches on center. The deck overhangs the edge of the flange by a two-inch minimum distance, with a detail callout requiring a one-half-inch minimum dimension. A companion table lists standard steel deck gauges from twelve to twenty along with their corresponding design thicknesses in inches. Minimum size requirements govern the overall geometric layout of the deck edge relative to the supporting structural member.
