CFM Deck Support Thing at Metal Deck Direction Change 3

You know how, at a deck direction change, you need HSS or something on your steel beams between joists to pick up the deck not parallel to the beam? I'm missing some of those and am in danger of having to pay for them instead of Christmas this year. Is there any kind of CFM member that could be used for this purpose instead of HSS/angles that would be cheap? The loads are nothing of course.

I'm going to violate KootK policy and not supply a sketch here. I'm too busy so, instead, I'm just going to draw upon previously earned good will. Besides, if you don't understand what I've written, you've probably got no business responding anyhow.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

Do you have a sketch? Is framing OWSJ or steel beams? Can you use a CFS 'screed angle'? The member at the transition in deck span may be located at the U/S of the deck and the deck is puddle welded to it. Deck spanning at right angles should be puddle welded to the same member. The deck should have foam 'fillers' to keep the concrete from 'flowing out'. How did the contractor intend to construct this? and were there any shop drawings?

-OWSJ
-Steel Beams
-No screed angle as the slab keeps on trucking past this.
-Depth = 2.5"
-Don't sweat contractors and shop drawings. I own this.

I assume he's talking 4" deep for a standard joist seat type idea.

I don't see why you couldn't put a 4" deep light gauge channel. Are you relying on that area to do any diaphragm load transfer action or is it just along for the ride?
 
- Diaphragm irrelevant
- 2.5" joist seats. It's US; 4" is a CANAM thing.

If I understand the situation correctly.....I've used Z/C sections for this purpose in the past.
 
Kootk, see picture below. This might work for you. If you can get studs 2.5" wide that would be ideal. If not you can use two tracks and adjust the height as needed and screw the flanges together.

If you really want to skimp just throw in some wood blocking.
 
There it i! Great solution. Imagine those sketches with HSS instead of the CFM and you've got the sketches I should have posted in the first place.

1. Can the joist supplier get you some quick 2.5K's?
2. Use two - 2 1/2" deep light gage "C" joists back to back between joists - then screw them together with a couple of #10 screws and screw down to the supporting beam.
3. Use (2) 2x4's ripped down to 2 1/2" depth from 3 1/2 and glue down to the beam. (I know - weird)
4. Use a light gage "Z" shape to lap over the supporting deck end, drop vertically between the two deck ends and then lap under the supported deck side flange. Screw together aggressively.

Glad I asked now. So many options.

@JAE/DETstr: fire an issue for the wood option? This one's non-combustible in general.

Got it. Thanks all. Friends in need. I'm a satisfied distressed damsel.

JAE, anyway you could provide a quick sketch of this? I use to use a Z-Shape for this myself.....but what I did was cut off one leg.....screw it/puddle weld down to the supporting beam.....then lap it a little off center (on one side) of the beam. You may have shown me a [better] alternative way here.

 
Thanks dik. What I was talking about was the member rotated 90o. But this is a good idea.
 
Used this detail lots of times... need foam blockouts to keep the concrete from flowing through.

Dik
 
@dik: I considered that and mostly like it. The problem that I have is that, when I look at the realities in plan, that angle would never terminate over a joist. It would always have to cantilever up against a column or something. How do you deal with that? Design the cantilever? Maybe I could mix and match and use lugs where the cantilever would otherwise be.

Not usually a problem... you require some angle framing at columns to accommodate interrupted deck.
