About this detail

A storefront parapet assembly anchors to a steel beam and ten-inch steel joist roof framing system. The parapet consists of 600S200-68 metal studs at twelve inches on center with a 16-gauge track, backed by seven-sixteenth-inch oriented strand board sheathing fastened with four number ten screws per stud at a six-inch minimum lap. Back-to-back parapet studs connect via aluminum stiffener clips with four number twelve screws into the studs and four number twelve screws into a continuous C20x20.7 channel. An HSS5x5x3/16 hollow structural section spans continuously between joists, welded with three-sixteenth-inch fillets. Additional web members beneath the steel channel provide load transfer for an added wind load of plus or minus 4.8 kips. A three-eighth-inch bent plate attaches the storefront framing to the structural steel beam.
