The paper presents shear table testing of architectural non-structural drywall systems made of cold-formed steel-framed indoor partition walls, outdoor façade walls and suspended ceilings. The tests were carried out on two different typologies of prototypes (Type 1 and Type 2) for a total number of five specimens. The influence on seismic response of basic and enhanced anti-seismic solutions, corresponding to the use of fixed or sliding connections at the walls and ceilings perimeter, was investigated. The seismic response evaluation of the systems under investigation has been performed according to ICBO-AC156 code with different levels of increasing intensity. Test results have been analyzed in terms of dynamic amplification and fragility curves. Test results highlight that enhanced solutions have a better seismic response than basic solutions and indoor partition walls have a higher seismic "fragility" than outdoor façade walls.

Abstract
The paper presents shear table testing of architectural non-structural drywall systems made of cold-formed steel-framed indoor partition walls, outdoor façade walls and suspended ceilings. The tests were carried out on two different typologies of prototypes (Type 1 and Type 2) for a total number of five specimens. The influence on seismic response of basic and enhanced anti-seismic solutions, corresponding to the use of fixed or sliding connections at the walls and ceilings perimeter, was investigated. The seismic response evaluation of the systems under investigation has been performed according to ICBO-AC156 code with different levels of increasing intensity. Test results have been analyzed in terms of dynamic amplification and fragility curves. Test results highlight that enhanced solutions have a better seismic response than basic solutions and indoor partition walls have a higher seismic "fragility" than outdoor façade walls.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
