Steel Composite Construction
Steel Composite Construction
(OP)
I am interested in construction practices.
Are the shear studs installed in the shop or in the field?
If in the shop, how is the deck installed in the field?
If studs installed in the field, how is this done?

RE: Steel Composite Construction
The shear studs are usually installed on site. I usually spec that the top flange of the composite beams remain unpainted to facilitate welding of the studs.
Deck is installed direct to the top flange of the steel floor beams.
Shear studs are welded through the deck material onto the top flange of the steels.

How are the studs welded?
Is there a special welding rig?
