About this detail

A cold-formed metal stud wall bears on a concrete foundation stem wall and slab-on-grade. The assembly features a foundation track anchored with anchor bolts and a plate washer, aligned with the centerline of the studs, anchor bolts, and footing. The concrete stem wall includes continuous horizontal reinforcement with three number five bars top and bottom, along with number four dowels spaced at twelve inches on center connecting to the slab and footing. An optional construction joint is detailed with a roughened one-quarter-inch amplitude surface and a continuous keyway with a waterstop. Below the slab, insulation is provided as needed against the exterior of the stem wall. A one-eighth-inch gap is maintained between the exterior wall sheathing and the concrete curb.
