About this detail

Diagonal bracing attachments to concrete-filled metal decks are oriented both parallel and perpendicular to deck flutes. The assembly utilizes unpunched P1000 channel struts secured to the concrete-filled metal deck using one-half-inch-diameter expansion anchors with three-and-five-eighth-inch embedment at each end. Diagonal braces connect to the channel framing using P1354 connectors with one-half-inch-diameter bolts and P1010 spring nuts. Alternate cable brace configurations with dual cable clamps and P1843 support fasteners are also included for attachment to concrete, structural steel, or metal stud structures. Minimum edge clearances of one and one-quarter inches at W2 and W3 decks and three-quarters of an inch at B decks are maintained. Maximum brace forces are designated as 1,520 pounds and 2,020 pounds based on LRFD load combinations.
