4 4 Introduction Overview of Non Structural Wall Systems Code Requirements for Drift Accommodation Typical Configurations Details and Detailing Challenging Conditions Interior Framing Summary

5 5 Overview of Non Structural Wall Systems Structural Design Wind Design Loads Seismic Deign Loads Deflection Limitations Accommodate Building Movement Typical Vertical Movements Typical Lateral Drifts Refer to CSFEI Tech Note 542

6 6 Wind Design Loads 2006 International Building Code (ASCE ) Wind Loads Component and Cladding P = q h (GC p -GC pi ) GC p = 1.1 (Elements not in areas of discontinuity) GC p = 1.4 (Elements in areas of discontinuity) Loads decrease with increased Tributary Area Suction Loads typically govern and are typically constant over height of building.

7 7 Seismic Design Loads 2009 International Building Code Seismic Loads ASCE Nonstructural Components F p = 0.4a p S DS I p R p ( ) a p = 1.0 and R p =2.5 z h (Table Either Interior or Exterior Walls) For Fasteners of the Connecting system a p = 1.25 and R p = 1.0 (Exterior Only) Loads Increase with Building Height

8 8 Deflection Limitations Out-of-plane deflection limitations are based upon limiting distress to finishes based on curvature of wall system. Metal Panels: L/180 to L/240 EIFS: L/240 to L/360 Cement Plaster: L/360 Brick Veneer: L/360 to L/600 or more Stone Veneer: L/480 to L/600 Out-of-plane deflections for cold formed wall systems are most always governed by wind loading Serviceability limits for wall deflections based upon 70% of Component and Cladding Loads

9 9 Accommodation of Building Movements Accommodation of Building Movements Isolate the Wall System from the Structure Vertical Deflection of Perimeter Beams/Slabs Lateral Drift of Building Frame System Isolate Relatively Light Building Exterior from Inadvertent Loads caused by Expected Building Deformation.

10 10 Accommodation of Building Movements Vertical Deflection of Perimeter Beams/Slabs With typical 30 foot spans and design live load deflections of L/360, building live load deflections can reach 1 inch. Value for perimeter beam live load deflection is typically limited to ¾ inch or less. Actual design value must be verified with Engineer of Record for structure.

11 11 Accommodation of Building Movements Lateral Drift of Typical Systems Actual drift should be obtained from Engineer of Record for structure For Category II structure D a can be 2.5% of story height. For 15 foot floor height and 2.5% drift D a = 4 ½ inches

19 19 FEMA P-749 Seismic Performance Limit the chance of total or partial collapse as a result of MCER ground motions to various percentages depending upon Occupancy Categories For all structures, minimize the risk that, in likely earthquakes, debris generated by damage to cladding, ceilings, or mechanical or electrical systems will fall on building occupants or pedestrians. To the extent practicable, avoid economic losses associated with damage to structural and nonstructural systems as a result of relatively frequent moderate earthquake events.

47 47 Challenges with Accommodating Lateral Drift At Building Corners:

48 48 FEMA P-749 Seismic Performance Limit the chance of total or partial collapse as a result of MCER ground motions to various percentages depending upon Occupancy Categories For all structures, minimize the risk that, in likely earthquakes, debris generated by damage to cladding, ceilings, or mechanical or electrical systems will fall on building occupants or pedestrians. To the extent practicable, avoid economic losses associated with damage to structural and nonstructural systems as a result of relatively frequent moderate earthquake events.

49 49 Challenges with Accommodating Lateral Drift Avoid Beams in Wall Space or Vertically Offset Joints:

50 50 Challenges with Accommodating Lateral Drift Avoid Columns in Wall Space: D a Interstory

51 51 Challenges with Accommodating Lateral Drift Integration with Glass Wall Systems:

52 52 Challenges with Accommodating Lateral Drift Utilities in Walls can Cross Joints and Must be Designed to Prevent Locking Joint

53 53 Interior Framing Why not treat them the same as Exterior Framing?

54 54 Interior Framing Why not treat them the same as Exterior Framing? Finishes are not usually as heavy Falling hazards are not usually as great Typically interior contains numerous corners and intersections MEP penetrations are more extensive Beams and columns are contained in walls Ceilings are typically braced to floor above Life Safety systems can become compromised if walls shift differently than floor above.

55 55 Interior Framing Why not treat them the same as Exterior Framing?

56 56 Interior Framing Why not treat them the same as Exterior Framing? Make attachments top and bottom ductile. Control failure method to avoid undesirable outcomes (falling hazards).

57 57 Bearing Walls?

58 58 Bearing Walls? A wall that is part of the structural system moves with the building and is designed to do so. A non structural element could be designed to do the same.
