The illustration shows anchorage and diagonal bracing details for light gauge steel stud walls. At a framed deck, the stud is screwed to the bottom track at each side, and the track is secured through the subfloor to the joist below with two screws. At a slab, the stud is similarly screwed to the track, while an expansion or anchor bolt secures the track to the slab. The bracing detail shows a diagonal strap screwed to each stud and to the bottom track, with multiple studs at the wall end as required.
