What this detail covers
- Partition head connection where a steel beam runs through the floor zone.
- Blocking and fixing zones around the beam to match the specification.
Key steps
- Confirm engineered beam size (especially downstand depth) and pocket clearances.
- Install blocking as shown to create a fixing zone for the partition head.
- Fix to specification and maintain any required movement allowance.
Checks
- Beam size and downstand depth confirmed before framing (avoid clashes).
- Fixings installed to spec and into the intended blocking zones.
Common mistakes
- Framing before confirming the actual beam depth.
- Fixing into thin/unsupported deck edges instead of the specified blocking.
Indicative only: always follow the engineer’s fixing schedule and the project drawings.
