Definitions
- This invention relates generally to isolating building components from building movements whilst maintaining their structural integrity. More particularly, this invention relates to channels and arrangements thereof that allow for non-axial loadbearing walls to accommodate in-plane vertical and horizontal building movements whilst providing for enhanced structural restraint and resistance against out-of-plane transverse actions.
- Lightweight walls are typically made of vertically positioned, equally spaced wall studs that are fitted into horizontal channels at the head and base of the wall, wherein sheathings are then fixed to the stud frame.
- Non-axial loadbearing walls (commonly known as wind-bearing walls) must be isolated from in-plane vertical building movements (such as live load deflections), as well as in-plane horizontal building movements (such as seismic or wind-induced drift) whilst maintaining their out-of-plane restraint and resistance against transverse actions (such as wind actions, body impact and shelf loads).
- Such isolation may be achieved by providing floating connections between the wall stud and the head or base channel, however, the out-of-plane structural resistance of such a connection is typically insufficient due to the thinness of the sheet metal comprising these elements. This affects the economy of the wall design, as providing added reinforcements to enhance the structural capacity of the stud-to- channel connection is labour intensive and costly, and may impede the functionality of the floating connection.
- the present invention seeks to provide a way which will overcome or substantially ameliorate at least some of the deficiencies of the prior art, or to at least provide an alternative. [0006] It is to be understood that, if any prior art information is referred to herein, such reference does not constitute an admission that the information forms part of the common general knowledge in the art, in Australia or any other country.
- stud wall restraint system arrangements involving a channel with integrated manually bendable connectors (clips) with slots that allow in plane vertical and horizontal building movements whilst providing enhanced structural restraint and resistance against out-of-plane transverse actions.
- Fasteners typically concrete screw anchors
- the slots may be flanged for greater strength and stiffness around the slotted portion of the channel.
- Bushings may be used so that the fasteners do not compress the channel against the substrate that it is connected to, allowing for free sliding between the channel and the substrate.
- the bushings may be non- metallic such as being made of plastic to prevent potential noise due to steel-on-steel contact.
- Fasteners are also installed through the vertical slots within the connectors, providing floating connections to accommodate in-plane vertical building movements between the channel and the wall studs.
- Vertical slots may also be made within the channel’s flanges to allow for additional floating connections between the wall stud and the channel where required.
- Such floating connections provide out-of-plane structural restraint and resistance to the wall but do not impede in-plane building movements, hence eliminating unwanted load swaps between the wall and the primary structure.
- the integrated connectors provide enhanced structural restraint and resistance against out-of-plane actions. Stress-relief perforations may be incorporated at the juncture between the connectors and the channel’s web, allowing for manual bending of the connectors on site.
- the connectors may be bent downwards, upwards or at an angle where required.
- the channel may be manufactured with the connectors cut out but not bent, enabling flat-packing and more economic freight. This feature also makes the channel less prone to damage during transport and handling.
- the channel may be connected through the horizontal slots to a plenum bracing assembly.
- the connectors may be bent upwards, providing a fixing plate for back bracing a partial-height wall to an overhead support structure.
- the apertures incorporated within the connector are utilised for such cases where fixed connections may be required.
- the slots within the connectors may be oriented parallel to the channel’s web to allow for vertical building deflections.
- the channel may be used as a header or sill member.
- the integrated connectors may be used to connect the channel to the jamb studs and cripple studs.
- the channel may be used at the base of a wall as well as the head, as required.
- Notches may be incorporated intermittently along the channel’s flanges to provide stress relief in the longitudinal direction of the channel should any incidental impediment of horizontal in-plane movements occur.
- a stud wall restraint system for in plane building movement isolation, the system comprising: a channel having side flanges and a web therebetween wherein: the web comprises intermittent elongate longitudinal slots orientated along a longitudinal axis of the channel; the web comprises intermittent integrally formed fold out connectors; and the connectors comprise elongate slots.
- the flanges may comprise intermittent collocating pairs of transversal slots.
- the longitudinal slots may run horizontally and the slots of the connectors may run vertically.
- Stress-relief perforations may form a line of weakness along a base of each connector so that each connector may be folded out by hand.
- the system may further comprise fasteners securing the channel to a support structure using the longitudinal slots and wherein bushings prevent compression of the web by the fasteners.
- the bushings may be non-metallic.
- the slots of the connectors may orientate along a longitudinal axis of the channel when the connectors are not folded out.
- Each connector do not extend beyond the flanges when folded out in one embodiment.
