About this detail

An exterior wall assembly meets the third-floor concrete slab on metal deck, supported by a structural steel beam with sprayed-on fireproofing. The exterior wall consists of six-inch metal studs with batt insulation, five-eighths-inch exterior gypsum sheathing, a weather-resistant barrier, and seven-eighths-inch cement plaster. An expansion joint and deflection track occur at the slab intersection to accommodate structural movement. The interior side is finished with gypsum board, while the exterior features a painted J-mold and one-inch continuous rigid insulation against an existing concrete shear wall.
