Non-structural walls - partitioning and closing elements - and ceiling of cement boards

Abstract

The process of designing / erecting a new building involves, among others, the identification of the optimal variant for non-structural and / or finishing elements. This choice is made considering several factors, including material and labor costs, the construction duration, the desired finishing degree, the thermal and acoustic comfort offered by various solutions, the seismic area (in terms of construction weight), the expected field of use etc. The choice of the partitioning and closing solution and that of suspended ceilings is one of the potentially important factors involved also in the design and assessment of structural behavior. The purpose of this paper is to present one of the current solutions for the use of these partitioning/closing elements and suspended ceilings with cement boards on metallic or wood structures, usable both indoors and outdoors and providing a number of advantages.
