• Ceiling areas over 1,000 SF must have horizontal restraint wire or rigid bracing • Ceiling areas over 2,500 SF must have seismic separation joints or full height partitions • Ceilings without rigid bracing must have 2" oversized trim rings for sprinklers and other penetrations
Timber-framed floor and ceiling construction with standard or typical detailing can transfer lateral loads between bracing lines spaced up to 6 m, or 7.5 m with dragon ties (NZS 3604:2011). A structural diaphragm is required for spacings wider than this. Bracing elements can be located anywhere within the bracing line. This is helpful with
securing non-structural walls and ceilings. Both the TRACKLOK® and GRIDLOK® range of connections have been designed to comply with building code requirements and ceiling manufacturers warranties. The TRACKLOK® system for walls and the GRIDLOK® system for ceilings are perfect examples of applying logic, innovation and
7 gru 2020 · Suspended ceilings are complex building systems that can be divided in different categories according to the configuration of the metal grid and the components that are installed. They can be firstly divided between continuous dry-wall ceiling systems and T-Grid suspended ceilings.
9 cze 2022 · When considering seismic bracing solutions, here are some of the key things to consider: Differential movement between the ceiling and the building structure. The weight of the ceiling, and therefore magnitude of seismic loads. Design of the system to withstand horizontal seismic loads.
Selection of Structural Shapes. The most common shapes used for horizontal bracing are single angles and WT-shapes. Single angles are the most economical shape for resist-ing small and medium loads, because WT-shapes must be split from W-shapes and straightened by the fabricator.
• Partition walls must not be braced to the ceiling grid. • The Braced Ceiling solutions illustrated in this Guide are indicative only, showing fixed rectangular grid configurations. Guidance from a qualified structural engineer should be sought for rooms with complex geometry.
