About this detail

The suspended gypsum board ceiling connects to the overhead metal deck and concrete assembly using vertical hanger wires and splayed seismic brace wires. A steel strap bent to align with the wire secures the splayed seismic brace, which is installed with four tight turns at both ends. The vertical hanger wire ties to a reinforcing bar embedded in the concrete with three wraps around the rebar and one wrap around the wire. Additional support details show main runners and hat channel cross runners fastened with self-tapping screws.
