About this detail

Connection between glazing and steel stud framing at a roof edge and parapet. A steel beam and metal roof deck are supported by steel joists or beams with an additional point load of plus or minus five kips from wind forces. Continuous angles and an L4x4x5/16 member at variable spacings up to seven feet maximum are welded with quarter-inch fillet welds. An L3x3x5/16 strongback is required at mid-length if the L4x4x5/16 member exceeds ten feet. The steel stud system by the supplier accommodates vertical deflection and horizontal seismic drifts, while angle connections are coped as required and bear on the framing.
