Course Description

This continuing education course reviews key design and detailing of considerations for interior nonloadbearing concrete masonry partition walls, highlighting considerations that influence performance, constructability, and efficiency. It brings together best practices related to fire resistance, sound control, structural behavior, crack control, and connection detailing while also emphasizing strategies that improve cost-effectiveness and reduce material use through a combination of explanatory content and pre-engineered solutions.

Learning Objectives

• Identify cost, carbon, and productivity-saving measures using off-the-shelf design alternatives.
• Review nonstructural performance objectives related to sound abatement, fire resistance, and crack mitigation for an array of applications.
• Detailing of top- and base-of-wall connections to meet loading and isolation requirements.
• Apply pre-engineered design solutions for partition walls, even those used in high wind and high seismic applications.
