An HSS beam connects to a concrete slab edge using a continuous embed plate and side connection plates. The embed plate measures 1/2 inch by 12 inches by the slab thickness and includes four welded stud anchors. Two 1/4-inch thick plates measuring 4 inches by 6 inches are welded to each side of the HSS beam with 3/16-inch fillet welds. Two 3/4-inch diameter through-bolts installed in horizontal short slotted holes secure the connection. A maximum 1/2-inch gap is maintained between the structural steel and the concrete slab edge. Slab edge reinforcement consists of number 4 top and bottom bars extending 48 inches minimum.
