Materials used in interior wall section structure:
A. OT 125 roof joists 7' 4" oc. Since there is one joist per column, no edge beam is required.
B. Steel roof deck.
C. 3 x 3 x 1/4" edge angle for attachment of windows.
D. 12 C 10.2 channel transferring floor joist load to column.
E. Steel angles at floor to facilitate attachment of windows.
F. 4 x 4" x 10 lb. column.
G. Steel floor deck.
H. OT 141 floor joists 1' 10" oc. There are more joists at the floor than the roof because of their greater loads.
