About this detail

Cold-formed steel studs are braced horizontally using a continuous twenty-gauge by one-and-one-half-inch wide steel strap or a one-and-one-half-inch cold-rolled channel spanning between blocking pieces. Blocking consists of a piece of track or stud of the same gauge as the studs, placed at each end of walls and at a maximum of eight feet on center in between. One number ten screw fastens the strap or channel to each stud flange, and four screws secure it to each blocking piece. For eighteen, sixteen, and fourteen gauge studs, the blocking to stud connection is welded with a one-eighth inch fillet weld, while twenty gauge and thinner studs utilize cut flanges per the referenced section. Splices in the strap or channel are provided where required.
