About this detail

Holdown connection details for cold-formed steel shearwalls at various corner and interior conditions. The assembly incorporates back-to-back studs such as 162-54 sections fastened with two rows of number 10 self-drilling metal screws at twelve inches on center, connected to existing hollow structural section columns or framing per plan. Shearwall boundaries are anchored using epoxy-threaded rods embedded into a concrete slab with a five-inch minimum thickness, complemented by proprietary metal connectors fastened with multiple number 14 self-drilling screws to the post or jamb. Additional framing connections utilize studs secured with two rows of quarter-twenty-eight Teks five screws at twelve inches on center typical. Shearwall placements and schedules are coordinated per plan with standard edge spacing and corner holdowns specified as required.
