it's for interior partitions only; no cladding just GWB; its prototype docs; the detail calls for studs to underside of deck AND diagonal bracing; not clear to me how the diagonal brace note got into the drawings & I never questioned it as it seemed to be a good conservative practice....

if I am building a demising partition wall with 6" metal studs from concrete slab to bottom of metal deck.
the bottom of the deck is approx. 19' AFF.
what is the typical load one should use - 5, 7.5 or 10 psf?
what is the typical min. allowable deflection - l/120, l/240 or l/360?

The exterior bearing walls in IIIA typically can NOT have materials that are considered combustible (basically ASTM 136 compliant plus composite materials like gyp bd). if the exterior wall is nonbearing AND has no required fire rating than fire-retardant-treated wood can be used HOWEVER any...
