About this detail

A structural connection links a steel roof beam, metal roof deck, and cold-formed metal stud backup framing at an exterior glazing line. The roof deck bears on a steel beam and is secured with fillet welds specified as one-eighth inch for K-joists and one-quarter inch for long-span joists. Six-inch eighteen-gauge metal studs spaced at sixteen inches on center form the perimeter wall, tied back with continuous three-sixteenth by eight-inch steel plates fastened using two number twelve self-tapping screws at each stud. Three number twelve self-tapping screws fasten each stud intersection, while diagonal bracing connects to the structural steel per detail reference. Exterior glazing is located per architectural drawings.
