![]() Walls need to accommodate in-plane and out-of-plane movement and provide sufficient flexibility at junctions between walls. A combination of fixed/free ceiling connections at the wall junction or seismic bracing within the ceiling cavity are the most common method used is constructing suspended ceilings in seismic rated buildings. Factors such as room size, height of the building, ceiling mass and dynamic acceleration, will influence the final design pathway taken to achieve seismic compliance. How does seismic design impact the construction?Ĭeilings needs special consideration when seismic forces are present. Heavy-duty acoustic ceiling with alternative seismic bracing in plant room at government building. Economic loss and hardship through limitation to the functionality of workspaces and habitable spaces is also common following earthquake events, even when the structure itself has not suffered substantial damage. When it comes to damage to the structure, it can have a significant cost impact to rectify the damage or worse, demolish parts of the building and rebuild. The risk to life is a straightforward argument thinking ahead and designing for earthquakes has proven to save lives. The intent of seismic design is to minimise risk to life and reduce damage to the structure. In certain buildings, walls, ceiling and facades constructed from light gauge steel framing system need to be designed to resist seismic loads during earthquake events. When you use Studco’s advanced seismic solution, you can build with confidence.
