Where perimeter beams, or intermediate beams that are to receive shear studs, run parallel to the deck span and the deck width either falls short or is positioned such that a trough is not located over the beam flange, galvanised mild steel flashings should be provided to form a closure to the profile (refer to Fig 4.9b). Flashings are available in 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.6mm and 2.0mm gauges; supplied to site in standard 3m lengths. The exact geometry and requirement for these flashings will be detailed on SMD decking layout drawings where provided.
