About this detail

Standard masonry wall brace connections to the underside of a concrete slab on metal deck occur in exterior wall, parallel deck, and perpendicular deck conditions. The connection utilizes an L6x4x3/8 structural angle brace secured to the deck with a quarter-inch thick base plate and four three-quarter-inch diameter expansion anchors with three and a quarter inches of embedment into the deck flute. Additional connection components include L3x3x1/4 angles of eight-foot maximum length, gusset plates, and three-sixteenth-inch fillet welds joining the steel members. Two three-quarter-inch diameter expansion anchors secure the wall framing angles, requiring a minimum two and a half inch edge distance and maintained waterproofing between anchors.
