Wall Steel Plate Standards

INTRODUCTION Steel plate shear walls (SPW) have been used in a significant number of buildings, beginning decades ago, before the existence of design requirements specifically addressing this structural system. Implementation has accelerated significantly since the recent...

NOTE: This guide specification covers the requirements for corner guards, wall guards (bumper guards), door protectors, and wall panels.

This standard sets the performance requirements for exterior wall panel systems that are exposed to natural hazards such as wind, hail, and windborne debris. Exterior wall panel systems include, but are not limited to, wall panels constructed of metal, plastic, mineral wool,...

Ties are essential in cavity walls to ensure that the wall is structurally sound and stable. A cavity wall is as strong as a solid wall only if the two slender leaves are securely tied together. Lack of skill or care in installing ties can lead to distortion, cracking,...

This volume provides a concise overview of the main facets of masonry wall construction, including materials, structural design, types of walls, movement, insulation, rain exclusion, site practice, defects and repair. The subject is covered in sufficient depth for a comprehensive...

NOTE: This guide specification covers the requirements for fabric covered acoustical wall panel systems.

This standard applies to the fire performance requirements for insulated wall curtain products for use in facilities protected in accordance with FM Global Data Sheets. These products shall not be installed against a substrate. These products shall be FM Approved with specific height...

This specification establishes the performance and product requirements for an automotive white wall tire cleaner.

NOTE: This guide specification covers the requirements for both factory color and mill finish aluminum or steel non-structural metal wall panels.

NOTE: This guide specification covers the requirements for both factory color and mill finish fabricated aluminum or steel structural metal wall panel assemblies.

Distress of cavity walls is sometimes attributable to corrosion or absence of the metal ties. BRE research has shown that steel ties made before 1981 could corrode prematurely. Generally the wall bulges, cracks or leaks, but if subjected to high wind loads it might even...

This European Standard specifies requirements for wall ties, tension straps, hangers and brackets for interconnecting masonry and for connecting masonry to other parts of works and buildings including walls, floors, beams, and columns. Where anchors or fasteners are supplied or...

Provides information on the detailing which, under test conditions, has been found to be effective in preventing water penetration across a range of window-to-wall joints.

Several BRE publications deal with corroding wall ties, covering the history, recognition and assessment of damage and the replacement of damaged ties in existing construction. This Digest discusses how to investigate the problem, sampling to determine condition and zinc loss of corroded...
