During the construction of floor decking, it is recommended to lay the floor decking first and then weld the studs to ensure construction stability, improve work efficiency, and ensure welding quality.

1. Potential Problems of Welding the Studs First

If weld shear stud first, then lay floor decking, you may encounter the following challenges:

• Increased positioning difficulty : After welding shear stud, the floor deck precise positioning becomes more complicated. It is necessary to ensure that each board is accurately docked with the studs, which increases the difficulty and time cost of construction.
• Affected welding quality : If welding is performed before the floor decking is laid, the welding quality may be affected by the on-site environment (such as wind, humidity, etc.), resulting in weak welds or defects.
• Safety risks: Areas where floor decking is not laid may pose a safety hazard, as workers need to work on high, incompletely secured platforms, increasing the risk of falling.

In view of the above analysis, we recommended laying floor decking first and then welding shear stud. The advantages of this sequence are:

• Improve construction stability: Laying the floor decking first can provide a stable working platform for welding work, which is conducive to the safe operation of workers and reduces welding quality problems caused by environmental factors.
• Improve work efficiency: Stud welding on the laid floor deck can complete the positioning and welding work more accurately and quickly, reducing rework and adjustment time.
• Ensure construction quality: The floor decking, as the supporting surface for welding, can better ensure the verticality and horizontality of the bolt welding and improve the overall construction quality.
