1 inch = 25.4 mm
Longitudinal direction:
Deck-to-braced frame collectors: The metal deck is welded to an edge angle per the manufacturer' specs. The
s
edge angles are welded continuously to the edge beam collectors (detail not shown).
Shear transfer mechanism for mezzanine-to-vertical element connection
Transverse direction:
Exterior walls: The deck is welded to an edge angle per the manufacturer' specs; the angle is anchor-bolted to the
s
CMU bond beam; the bolts carry only shear from forces parallel to the walls (no gravity loads).
Shear demand = 116 plf (1.69 KN/m)
Shear capacity of bolts @ 4'o/c = 11.9k / 4'= 2975 plf (43.4 KN/m) > 116 plf (1.69 KN/m), OK
1 inch = 25.4 mm
Interior walls: Shear forces are transferred from the mezzanines to the CMU shear walls through dowels.
The dowels are embedded into the concrete deck topping and bent around the bond beam steel in the wall.
Shear demand on dowels = transverse mezzanine diaphragm shear = 116 plf (1.69 KN/m). By inspection
it is seen that this connection has adequate capacity.
