About this detail

An exterior high parapet assembly framed with structural steel columns and hollow structural section members includes an HSS6x2x1/4 parapet support beam and HSS6x6x1/4 braces spaced at six feet six inches on center maximum. The steel columns feature a one-half-inch column cap plate and a one-half-inch closure plate at the top connection, welded with one-quarter-inch fillet welds. Infill steel studs and curtain wall glazing attach to the structure per supplier requirements, backed by a continuous five-sixteenth-inch bent plate and L3x3x1/4 angles at each beam. Metal roof deck fastens to the framing beams according to general structural notes, supported by full-depth web stiffeners and connection plates. Additional stability is provided by a four-inch standard pipe column assembly and a three-eighth-inch by six-inch by six-inch welded plate.
