Steel Stud Deflection Track Detail

The limiting heights tables included in the gypsum construction handbookare from astm c754 and were developed by the gypsum association.

Steel stud deflection track detail. Comes in different sized from 0 50 0 70 0 75 and 1 15 bmt. Selection of steel stud size is usually derived from limiting height tables based on the capacity of the steel and the allowable deflection of finis h surfaces. Fasten jamb studs to track top and bottom 2. Pre punched 1 slots are spaced 1 o c.

Infill stud sill angle header tracks infill stud jamb additional anchorage jamb base track cripple stud cripple stud use of cripple stud to receive head sill tracks at the jamb studs helps maintain. Steel stud partitions national gypsum company single layer construction 1. For superior head of wall vertical deflection and the added benefit of horizontal drift movement clarkdietrich introduces two solutions maxtrak slotted deflection track and maxtrak 2d slotted deflection drift track. Track cut and bent down 3.

Deflection tracks cannot be used in axial load bearing stud conditions or above continuous window spandrels. The maxtrak system allows the top of the wall stud to float within the track legs. Channel stiffeners friction fit optional 4 steel 1. Top of stud 15 to 25mm below underside of track top track fixed to concrete hot rolled frame.

Deflection bracket at every stud and fixed to track with 1 no. Allows for fast easy and flexible stud installation. To accommodate any stud spacing 2 leg height for added strength and improved performance. The rondo steel stud seismic wall system is designed to allow movement along the wall and provide flexibility at wall junctions due to deflection occurring from a seismic event.

Deflection track details must be designed for the specific conditions of a building to accommodate the required deflection and end reactions of the studs. The bailey multi slot track is an economical deflection system designed to provide complete flexibility. Scafco slotted track is the industry preferred system for achieving head of wall deflection and fire resistance for interior and exterior walls. Used at the top of wall frames to locate the wall studs and to allow for vertical deflection of the ceiling.
