About this detail

An expansion joint condition occurs between a reinforced concrete sidewalk and an exterior wall assembly, alongside an aluminum door threshold. The exterior wall consists of a cement plaster finish over rigid insulation, fluid-applied membrane air barrier, half-inch exterior sheathing, and six-inch metal studs spaced at sixteen inches on center with batt insulation and five-eighths-inch painted gypsum board on the interior. The wall meets a six-inch-by-seven-and-a-half-inch structural concrete curb featuring a weep screed and a floor base. A civil expansion joint separates the sloping concrete sidewalk from the building curb and door threshold.
