About this detail

Cold-formed metal stud partition bracing attaches to an overhead composite steel deck. A one-half-inch Dens Deck sheathing tops the steel decking, and the angled stud brace is secured to the bottom flutes of the decking using three number-ten screws. The bracing consists of either a three-and-five-eighths-inch by twenty-five-gauge metal stud spaced at four feet on center with a maximum span of seven feet, or a six-inch by twenty-gauge metal stud spaced at four feet on center with a maximum span of ten feet, with alternating brace directions. Where required, studs are lapped twelve inches minimum and screwed together with track using three number-eight screws minimum. The brace connects to the head track with three number-eight screws, and the track gauge matches the stud gauge. The metal partition head track ties into the top of the wall partition, secured with one screw into each flange of the metal channel studs, which are sized per the partition type.
