A spandrel bracing connection at a steel beam supports a composite metal deck slab and an exterior steel stud wall assembly. A structural steel angle brace sized L4x4x1/4 is spaced at 6'-0" on center maximum, featuring a 3/8-inch by 5-inch square plate at each brace connected with a 1/4-inch fillet weld. The window system bears directly onto the cold-formed steel stud top track with gravity connections using screws or welds to the primary structure. A continuous reinforcing bar (#5) is incorporated alongside the slab edge detailing, maintaining a 1-inch clearance and a 1-inch approximate gap as coordinated with architectural drawings.
