About this detail

A wide-flange beam connects to an existing hollow structural section column alongside a cold-formed steel framing partition head assembly. The layout incorporates new cold-formed steel joists and blocking spaced at four feet on center. A deep-leg top track with a sixteen-gauge minimum thickness, fifty-ksi steel, and one-and-one-eighth-inch vertical slots without horizontal slots is secured using two rows of Hilti X-U shot pins at twenty-four inches on center. Number ten self-tapping sheet metal screws with stand-off washers are installed at the center of each flange. Gypsum board is screw-attached to additional full-depth blocking rather than to the deep-leg top track to accommodate vertical movement, leaving the gypsum board unattached to the deep-leg top track.
