Abstract
An L-shaped brace is used for reinforcing free-standing, light gauge, steel studs, gypsum board walls which are built up from a standard size, light-gauge track which is mounted to the floor. The brace has one leg which is fastened to the floor through the track, with the other leg extending vertically and being fastened either to one of a steel stud, or to the inside of a vertically extended length of track used to define the end of a free-standing wall.
