SOG Design
SOG Design
(OP)
Is there a standrad design method for slab on grade? I need to determine if a 5" SOG will be able to hold a 6"x12' tall non-load bearing cmu wall (all new construction).

For what it's worth, our typical detail for non-load bearing CMU partitions has a thickened slab under it.
Yes, the wall needs to be braced at the top. I usually provide a bond beam at the top with angles connecting the bond beam to the structure above. The vertical legs gets slotted holes to allow the structure above to deflect without loading the wall.
RE: SOG Design
If the walls can work with these and other required loads without being braced, then you are OK without bracing.

If you have to support the walls on plain concrete slabs there are some good design methods in Army/Navy publications, I can look it up later if you cannot easily find this online.
