About this detail

Beam connections, floor slab edges, and drift-accommodating attachments for exterior window systems and curtain wall spandrel panels. The assembly features structural steel beams and columns, a concrete slab on metal deck, and kicker braces designed to handle seismic movements. Full-depth web stiffeners and connection plates tie the framing together while leaving designated clearances for vertical deflection. Exterior wall studs, window systems, and curtain wall spandrels interface with the structural slab and framing according to architectural coordination notes.
