ABSTRACT:
Seismic and fire resistant wall structure and method in which a U-shaped channel member having vertically extending slotted openings in the side flanges thereof is mounted on the underside of a beam or other overhead structural member, with a layer of fire retardant material in the upper portion of the channel. Studs are connected to the channel member with fasteners which pass through the slotted openings and permit relative vertical movement between the channel member and the studs, while holding the studs in place horizontally. Fire retardant wallboard is attached to the opposing side faces of the studs and extends between the floor and the channel member.
