Deflection Head Track Bracket

[Trainee339]

Hi All,

I am designing a bracket for an external facade wall. We need to provide the gap of 20-30mm to allow for incremental deflection.the bracket needs to be fabricated with the slotted holes for the screw (as shown in the attached sketch). What checks I need to run on the bracket to determine the thickness of the bracket?
Only self weight of lining/framing and external wind pressure is applied to the stud. The reaction at the top is 3KN.

thanks & Regards

Here is a tech guide. You can find more info by looking at the published documentation from AISI and CFSEI. Link Sorry but these are US trade groups.

Thanks for the document GC.

But let us assumed there is no deflection head track and only it is a bracket. what do you think in that case?


Thanks
