About this detail

Structural stud wall wood framing connections consist of top plate splices, sill plate layouts, and anchor bolt details. The top plate splice elevation specifies upper and lower plate laps of four feet minimum, with plate splices located directly over studs and fastened with twelve 16d nails symmetrically spaced. The sill plate plan and section detail anchor bolts spaced per the shear wall schedule, utilizing a 3 inch by 3 inch by 1/4 inch plate washer required at the top of concrete with a minimum embedment of 7 inches. Additional strap ties such as MSTC40 and MSTA36 are specified for duct penetrations and shear wall conditions.
