Welded Shear Studs & Composite Floor Deck

Welded Shear Studs & Composite Floor Deck

(OP)
Would anybody mind sharing the general structural notes for these two items here! Our library doesn't have these notes so I want a jump start on creating a new set of notes for both.

Thanks in advance.

RE: Welded Shear Studs & Composite Floor Deck

(OP)
I'll see one more time if anyone can share these notes. If not, that's still OK.

Merry Xmas all.

RE: Welded Shear Studs & Composite Floor Deck

Not sure that you can have general notes as each job will be different. Would suggest that you state the dimensions of the studs, profile of the sheets and then add some information taken from the following link

RE: Welded Shear Studs & Composite Floor Deck

Although notes will vary from engineer to engineer, the notes should generally cover the following:

1) diameter and length of headed studs required
2) general instructions of how to layout the studs in the low flutes of the deck
3) Maximum stud spacing along beam, minimum side to side spacing, clearance from edge of beam flange, additional studs, etc.
4) Fastening of deck to beams
5) Removal of ceramic ferrules
6) Restrictions on erection of masonry walls on composite slabs until proper curing.

I hope this helps....

MIN STUD LENGTH TO DIA RATIO FOR HEADED STUDS SHALL BE 4

HEADED STUD SHALL PROJECT 2X STUD DIA INTO CONC OVER STEEL DECK

HEADED STUD LONGITUDINAL SPACING SHALL BE 6X STUD DIA MIN AND TRANSVERSE SPACING SHALL BE 4X STUD DIA MIN

WELD AND TEST HEADED STUDS TO CSA W59, INCLUDING APPENDICES
