About this detail

Structural connection between a roof support steel beam, a metal roof deck, and exterior metal studs at the building soffit. An L4x4x1/4 angle spaced at six feet on center maximum acts as a kicker supporting the assembly, with connections detailed on sheet SE703 or connecting to an adjacent beam per sheet SE601. A one-quarter inch fillet weld secures the steel beam assembly where indicated. Metal studs span vertically with connections provided by the supplier, incorporating a gravity connection and a drift track designed to accommodate vertical building deflection and seismic drifts. A horizontal drift joint is located in the building skin at the window head, and conditions where dimension D exceeds six inches require reference to sheet SE721.
