About this detail

A partial height exterior wall and steel guardrail assembly at a concrete slab on metal deck. The guardrail consists of a two-inch by one-inch painted steel bar stock top rail and bottom rail with two-inch by one-half-inch painted steel pickets, welded with complete joint penetration welds at connection B5. The guardrail posts are anchored with a one-quarter-inch steel plate welded to the structural edge plate and both sides of the intermediate post with three-sixteenth-inch fillet welds on three sides, and reinforced with number four dowels at forty-eight inches on center aligned with the guardrail post. The concrete slab bears on a structural steel beam, with perimeter framing utilizing three and five-eighths-inch twenty-gauge minimum steel studs at sixteen inches on center. The exterior finish comprises seven-eighths-inch exterior plaster cement over metal lath and an air and water barrier over five-eighths-inch exterior sheathing, terminating with a continuous drip screed and soffit framing below.
