Survey Related to Edge Details in Concrete-Filled Steel Deck Slabs

Abstract

The aim of this survey is to gain insight into the common practices employed by structural engineers regarding the typical edge detail in concrete-filled steel deck floor systems. The survey content, which included questions and figures, was developed based on feedback from design engineers and the AISC Task Committee 5 on composite structures. The survey was advertised to the structural engineering industry through the AISC weekly bulletin email and was open from May to August 2023. The survey results provided valuable perspectives on different practices and typical edge details of structural engineering design firms across the United States from 34 respondents. It showed large scatter in typical edge details related to minimum slab overhang distance, pour stop type used, steel deck termination, pour stop connection and more.
