In-plane performance of gypsum board partition wall systems subjected to cyclic loadings

Plan-Design, Construction, Performance, and Renovation Criteria for Sustainable Buildings: Data Review

“…A study found that it satisfied structural performance and construction sustainability. [162,163] Precast concrete slab Precast concrete offers a wide range of benefits recognized by LEED which require minimum energy and increase the life span of buildings. It is durable and requires low-maintenance and no construction waste is generated in the field.…”

“…These walls are compatible with conventional floor-to-ceiling height and can be utilized on structures up to four floors. [163] Common cladding alternative Cladding, which is simply the application of one material over another, has become one of the most popular options for upgrading the exterior of an existing structure. [184] Insulated wall panels It is utilized in floors, walls, and roofs to provide a high-performance material that is exceptionally durable, sustainable, and energyefficient.…”

Seismic Fragility of Chinese Light‐Gauge Steel Keel Gypsum Board Partition Walls

“…Padilla-Llano et al performed axial tensile tests on light-gauge steel keels with C sections [16], including 12 cyclic tests, 12 monotonic compression tests, and 2 monotonic tensile tests, and evaluated the hysteretic behavior, strength degradation, and energy dissipation characteristics of the light-gauge steel keels with C sections. Amer et al conducted research on LSKGBPWs with dampers [17]. Quasi-static tests were performed with a varying number of dampers, showing that the ultimate bearing capacity of the wall with dampers was greatly increased.…”

Seismic response assessment of architectural non-structural LWS drywall components through experimental tests

“…Indeed, over the last few years, along with several studies on architectural non-structural LWS drywall components, which were mainly focused on fire behaviour [4][5], effect on the structural response [6][7][8][9][10][11], joining technologies [12][13], diaphragm action [14][15] and behaviour under axial and lateral loads [16][17], a large number of research studies were also undertaken on investigating the seismic behaviour. Generally, these researches included the study of the local and global behaviour: seismic behaviour of board-to-frame fixings adopted for realizing partitions and façades [18][19][20][21]; seismic behaviour under monotonic, quasi-static cyclic and dynamic loadings in the in-plane [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] and outof-plane [35][36] directions of partitions and façades; study of the interaction between partitions and façades and/or ceilings and surrounding elements by means of shake table tests on full-scale one or multi-storeys buildings completed with architectural non-structural components [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]…”

“…(iii) effect of the constructional details on the seismic response, i.e. stud dimensions and spacing ( [25], [27], [30][31] and [34]), presence of back-to-back studs [31][32], track dimensions [31], board thickness, type, number and orientation ( [22], [25], [27], [31] and [34]), board-to-frame fixing type and spacing ( [24], [25], [27], [31][32]), wall finishing type ( [24] and [34]), presence of doors or windows ( [22][23] and [25]), partial-height partitions [30], aspect ratio of partitions [27], presence of damper devices [33]; (iv) effect of the loading conditions (quasi-static or dynamic) on the lateral response ( [23][24], [27] and [30]); (v) estimation of the repair costs after a seismic event ( [23], [28] and [34]); (vi) interaction with surrounding elements ( [22], [34], [38], [39], [40] and [45]); (vii) evaluation of dynamic amplification and dynamic parameters [43][44][45]; (viii) presence of mechanical...…”
