About this detail

A continuous 3/16 inch thick equal-leg angle supports the soffit framing below a structural steel beam as sized per plan. The angle connects to stiffener plates spaced twelve inches from each end and at four feet on center in between. Steel track framing, specified one gauge thicker than the studs with two-inch flanges, fastens to the angle and secures to each steel stud with two number ten self-tapping metal screws per side. Stud overhang is limited to a minimum of one-quarter inch and a maximum of one-half inch, remaining less than two-thirds of the stud width.
