About this detail

An interior non-bearing concrete masonry unit wall connects to an overhead concrete floor slab and metal deck with a slip joint detail allowing for vertical deflection. Two one-half-inch diameter by three-inch embedment expansion anchors secure the connection centered in the low flute of the metal deck at twelve inches on center typically. A lateral load plate measuring one-quarter by three by four inches by one foot three inches is staggered at four feet on center on each side of the wall and two feet from the end of the wall for perpendicular conditions. For parallel conditions, a plate measuring one-eighth by seven by three feet three inches is spaced at four feet on center with a one-eighth inch fillet weld on three sides. An additional plate measuring one-quarter by three by four inches by six inches is provided at four feet on center on each side of the wall with a one and one-half inch clearance.
