2.1 9-00-1 How to enter Partition Data

PROGRAM ENHANCEMENT

DATE: September 22, 2000

NUMBER: 9-00-1

PROGRAM: DESCTRL, DESED, XDESCTRL

MANUAL: Design

ENHANCEMENT: How to enter Partition Data.

TO ACTIVATE: Currently active.

DESCRIPTION: Partition Wall information is entered in the Building Editor screens. The buildingentry screens are accessed by making the DesCtrl the active item and double-clicking themouse, or press the <E> key on the keyboard. After entering the Job Title to use on Reports,the Building Editor Menu appears. This menu has been rearranged to accommodate six setsof information, which are called books. The partition wall book is the last book and is located atthe lower right of the menu as shown below.



This can consist of up to six unique partition walls. For each partition the user will specify thelayout, framing members, bay spacings, girts, panels, colors, framed openings, partial walls andintersections. Each screen is shown below with a description for each item on each screen.

Clicking on each partition button displays the partition screen. Each partition screen has the<F1> help key and <ALT><F1> graphics help available.

A. PARTITION WALL - Layout, Framing

The first screen is the Partition Layout and Framing. This screen is shown below.

The partition orientation can be either Longitudinal or Transverse in orientation. The start andend distances are entered for the wall, along with information about the start and end adjacentwall Id and tie-in option. The wall side vs. offset is specified as 2 characters. The firstcharacter specifies to which side of the location the wall framing occurs. The secondcharacter specifies which side of the wall is the outside of wall. CL = centered on locationwith left as outside, CR = centered on location with right as outside, RL = wall is to the rightof location with left side as outside, and LR = wall is to the left of location with right side asoutside. The quantity and locations of this wall are entered where locations are as measuredperpendicular to the wall. For the quantity to be more than one, the wall framing and tie-insettings must be the same for all locations. The column depth is specified. The column type for



start, interior, and end are entered. The rafter information is then entered including rafter type,rotation, and rafter framing option.

B. PARTITION WALL - Bay Spacing

The second screen is the Partition Bay Spacing. This screen is shown below.

This screen is the same as the wall bay spacing screen. Bay spacing for the six partitions isentered by selecting each of the six partition buttons.

C. PARTITION WALL - Girts

The third screen is the Partition Girt. This screen is shown below.



This screen is similar to the wall girt screen, including the top girt type. It also includes thebase angle, channel, and trim information. Flange strapping is not available on partition walls.

D. PARTITION WALL - Panels, Colors

The fourth screen is the Partition Panels/Colors screen. This screen is shown below.



The partition can have a panel on one or two sides. Each side can be a different panel, screwlength, color, and height. The trim for each side can also be different, and the partition canhave insulation. Trim color and insulation are included on this screen.

E. PARTITION WALL - Framed Openings

The fifth screen is the Partition Framed Openings screen. This screen is shown below.



This screen is the wall framed opening screen. Each partition can have up to two framedopenings per bay with a maximum of twenty per wall.

F. PARTITION WALL - Partial Walls

The sixth screen is the Partition Partial Wall screen. This screen is shown below.



This screen is similar to the partial wall screen for the walls. There is a new format for bothscreens which allows the Base Type and Full Load option to be different for each partitionwall defined. Previously, any partial wall along the wall had the same Base Type and Full Loadoption.

On the next page is a screen capture of the Partial Wall screen from the Wall book.



G. PARTITION WALL - Intersection

The seventh screen is the Partition Intersection screen. This screen is shown below.



The partitions can intersect each other and continue on through each other. When a columnoccurs at the intersection, then the column type and tie-in option must be specified. Forintersections occurring at a rigid frame interior column location, enter '-' as the added columntype.

NOTE: Intersecting partitions that continue on through each other without an added columnspecified are designed and detailed to continue on through each other. There are no addedcolumns and girts are designed based on the bay spacing.

There are two other screens that have been updated to include partition data. The Code/Loadscreen and Deflection Limit screen have been updated.

H. LOAD - Code, Loads

The Code, Loads screen now includes a setting for partition wind. The screen is shownbelow. This applies to all designed components of the partition wall. Designed componentsinclude: columns, girts, and panels.



I. LOAD - Deflection Yields

The Deflection Yields screen now includes deflection limit settings for partition columns, girts,and panels. The screen is shown below.



The partition input screens can be understood easier by reviewing the example buildingincluded, PARTN2.zip. The paper copies are included in the partition manual. The plan view,3D drawing, and DesCtrl.in file are included in the last section of the Partition Manual. TheBuilding Editor menu is arranged in the same order as the DesCtrl.in file. In the last section ofthe Partition Manual is a portion of the help file pertaining to partitions.



2.2 9-00-2 Design of Partition Walls

PROGRAM ENHANCEMENT


NUMBER: 9-00-2

PROGRAM: PARTDES, MPARTDES, XPARTDES

MANUAL: DESIGN

ENHANCEMENT: Design of partition walls

DESCRIPTION: The cell labeled PartDes on the design screen is used to design partition walls. Thisprogram will design from one to six partition walls. The design input file is much like that forendwalls. A new data line, number 8, describes the location of the partition walls, as shownbelow. The help file describes each term in the input file.

*( )PARTITION WALL LOCATION:*Sets_Of -------Start------- --------End--------*Partn Partn Orient Wall Adj Tie-in Adj Tie-in --Location-*Walls Id (L/W) Dir. Offset Wall Option Offset Wall Option Qty Offset 6 1 'L' 'RL' 0.0000 0 4 65.0000 6 4 1 33.0

Partition design is much like endwall design. Features available in the partition design include:

1. LOADING: There is a single wind load, pressure and suction, entered by the user duringbuilding data entry that is the wind load for columns, girts, jambs, and panels. However, theuser can edit any of these loads on any of the walls.

2. COLUMNS: Available columns include C, D, R, W, O and U. You can set the columnsize or let the program determine the size. You can set the rotation and base elevation ofeach column. There is no weak axis column design. No axial load is considered in thecolumn design.

3. RAFTERS: The rafters can be short between the purlins, short below the purlins, orcontinuous below the purlins. Rafter types include C, O, or U. There is no rafter design.

4. GIRTS: Flush or bypass girts are available, same choices as for the exterior walls. Thetop girt can be of a different type. Top girts are located at the top of the wall panels. If thefront and back wall panels are not at the same elevation, two top girts will be used. Girtflanges attached to wall panels are considered fully braced.

The partition wall design reports are the similar to the endwall design reports. There is aseparate report for each partition wall. If there are wall panels on both sides, there is aseparate panel report for each wall panel.



2.3 9-00-3 Detailing of Partition Walls

PROGRAM ENHANCEMENT


NUMBER: 9-00-3

PROGRAM: All detailing programs

MANUAL: DETAILING

ENHANCEMENT: Detailing partition walls.

TO ACTIVATE: Set the desired detailing methods and detailing parameters.

DESCRIPTION: The MBS software will now do the complete design, detailing, and drawing ofpartition walls. The previous program enhancement described the partition wall design. Thefollowing program enhancement describes drawing of partition walls. This enhancementdescribes how to detail partition walls.

A. CONNECTION HELP FOR PARTITION WALLSThe best over view of partition wall detailing is to view the connection help for partition walls.This connection help is divided as follows.

CONNECTIONS TO PARTITION WALL COLUMNSCONNECTIONS TO PARTITION WALL RAFTERSCONNECTIONS TO PARTITION WALL GIRTSCONNECTIONS BETWEEN ADJACENT PARTITION WALLS

This program enhancement is divided into the above sections.

B. CONNECTIONS TO PARTITION WALL COLUMNSThe partition wall connections for columns are listed in Table 1. The table format is typical forconnection help tables. The first two columns list what the columns are connected to. The nextcolumn is any special conditions. This followed by data on the detailing method, drawing, anddrawings for detailing parameters. For ease of reference, the table is divided into sections aslisted on the left.

Partitions consist of flush girts and R, W, C, D, or tube columns. Tube columns are not a partof the partition except where the partition includes a rigid frame interior column that is a tubemember. Connection between the flush girts and the partition wall columns are described insection 1. It is possible for an adjacent partition to end at the location of a column in anotherpartition. Then there must be some options for connecting the girts of an adjacent wall to thatcolumn. These options are provided in section 2 of the table. If you have an 'O' type columnadjacent to girts from an adjacent partition, you may want to attach the 'O' column to thosegirts. This is addressed in section 3 of Table 1.

Options for the column to base plate connection are the same as for endwall columns. SeeTable 1 section 4. The top of the column will attach to the underside of a rigid frame or to apartition rafter. Table 1 section 5 and 6 address these connections. Section 6 refers to the tablefor connections to the rafter.



C. CONNECTIONS TO PARTITION WALL GIRTSThe major wall girt connections have been described in Table 1. Table 2 provides connectioninformation for two other types of girt connections. Section 2 describes how to connect girts ofone partition to the girts of an adjacent partition. When the partition is located under a rigidframe, it is necessary to connect the partition wall girt to the inside flange of the rigid framesidewall column. These connection options are described in section 3 of Table 2.

D. CONNECTIONS TO PARTITION WALL RAFTERSThe top of the partition wall columns must be provided some type of structural support. Fortransverse partition under the rigid frame, the columns are connected to the lower flange of therigid frame. For partition walls not under the rigid frame, the tops of the columns are attachedto a partition wall rafter which is attached to the roof purlins. Connections for the rafters arereferenced in Table 3. Section 1 of Table 3 references drawing PT1 which illustrates theoptions and orientation for the rafter. Note the rafter can be in short sections between thepurlins (either in the plane of the purlin or below the purlin) or it can be a continuous memberbelow the purlins. The orientation of the rafter, direction of the open side, is also set by theuser.

For transverse partition walls the connections between the rafter and the column or door jambare referenced in Table 3 section 2. Note the column to rafter connections come from thesame list as endwall columns to endwall rafters connections.

The rafter for longitudinal partitions is a short piece either between two purlins or just belowtwo purlins. The rafter to column or door jamb connections are referenced in section 3 of Table 3.

The connection between the rafter and the purlins is referenced in section 4 of Table 3.

E. CONNECTIONS BETWEEN ADJACENT PARTITION WALLSWith the option for multiple partition walls in a building, it is necessary to address the differentways in which those partition walls will intersect. Table 4 references the resulting connections.Drawings PT2 through PT5 provide plan views of the possible partition wall intersections. Thefirst column in the Table refers to the wall being processed in that the wall intersection is eitherat the end of the wall, 'Ends' or at a point along the wall, 'Continues'. The second columndescribes the location of the wall intersection for the adjacent wall.

A large number of detailing methods are available for these connections. The Table lists thedrawings that contain the detailing methods rather than list each of the detailing methods.

2.5 9-00-5 Building Drawings are available on Partition Walls

PROGRAM ENHANCEMENT


NUMBER: 9-00-5

PROGRAM: MWRDRAW, XPARTDWG, PARTDWG

MANUAL: Drawing

ENHANCEMENT: Building Drawings are available on Partition Walls.


DESCRIPTION: Six new cells for Partition walls have been added to the Building Dwg2 TAB. Previously the Combined Drawing cells were located here, but Combined Drawing cells havebeen moved to the new Building Dwg3 TAB. This new arrangement is shown below.

The new version of DWGCTRL.IN file lines 28, 29, and 30 define the partition drawing layout.Partition Drawing layout is not available in the old format of the DWGCTRL.IN file. These



are similar to the EWDWG and SWDWG input lines. The first line defines the Paper Size,Object Offset, and Scale Factor. The second line defines the Drawing Option, ContentsOptions, Table Options, General Notes, and Logo. The third line defines User Details to placeon the Partition Drawings. The new lines are displayed below.

For the partition walls there are two new items: Contents Option and Display Option. Contents Option can be set to 'F' for framing, 'S' for sheeting, and 'I' for insulation. Anycombination of these letters is also available: 'FS', 'FI', 'SI', 'FO', 'SO', and 'FSI', which willcombine the desired views onto the one drawing.

Display Option can be set to 'P' or 'F'. The 'P' denotes a partial view, or partition area only.The 'F' denotes a full view, which includes the building outline. Both will contain the sameinformation, but 'F' is a smaller view to include the building outline.

These lines Partition Drawing Size Factors, Partition Drawing Options, and Partition DrawingUser Details transfer to the PartDwg*.IN files, where '*' is numbers 1 through 6.

The erection drawings for the partition walls are similar to the endwall and sidewall drawings.There are up to four different views shown on the drawing: framing plan, up to two sheetingplans, and the insulation plan. The framing plan labels the column, rafter, jambs, headers, girt,angles, and loose clip locations. The framing plan includes the member table, angle table, andclip table. The sheeting plans will layout the front/left, and/or the back/right sheeting plans. Thepanel lengths and trim locations are labeled, and a trim table is included. The insulation plan willbe included when insulation is called for on the wall. The cut lengths are shown on the planand a table notes the insulation roll that the cut is from.

There is not a utility program included to add these new lines to your DWGCTRL.IN file. However, a DWGCTRL.NEW is included to cut and paste to your default DWGCTRL.IN



file.



2.6 9-00-6 Partition Wall Example: Transverse partition wall underrigid frame

PROGRAM ENHANCEMENT


NUMBER: 9-00-6

PROGRAM: All

MANUAL: Design, Detailing, Drawing, and Data Files

ENHANCEMENT: Partition Wall Example: Transverse partition under rigid frame.


DESCRIPTION: This example illustrates the design, detailing, and drawing of a transverse partitionwall located under a rigid frame. It is similar to the endwall framing that can be located undera rigid frame in the endwall. An added feature is that the interior rigid frame columns aredetailed to include the clips for the partition wall girts.

A. DESCRIPTION OF PARTITION WALLThis is partition wall 3 of the 6 partitions set up in the test building. The erection drawing forthe partition wall is shown on page 2. Note there are 6 framed openings, the columns are wideflange members except for the interior rigid frame columns which are tube members.

B. DESIGN OF PARTITION WALLThe partition wall is design for a user set wind loading that is used on all of the wallcomponents. In this case the design wind load is 10 psf. Details of the design to be reportedinclude a wall girt, a wall column, and the interior rigid frame column subject to partition wallwind load.

B1. WALL GIRT DESIGNConsider girt G-59 it has a load width of 4'-8 1/2" and a span of 16'-8" minus the offset at eachend of the member giving a span of 15.75'. The wind load moment is: 4.707 * 10 * 15.75² / 8 =1460 ft-lbs. The unbraced length of each girt flange is zero due to the wall panels on eachsurface. The allowable moment of the smallest 8 inch C section is 5.75 ft-kips which is muchgreater than the applied load of 1.46 ft-kips.

The deflection of the 8X25C16 girt is 5 * 4.707 * 10 * 15.754 * 1.728 / (384* 29000 * 7.791) =0.058 inch. The limiting deflection is span divided by 180 = 15.75 * 12 / 180 = 1.05 inch.Hence, the 8X25C16 girt is selected.

B2. COLUMN DESIGNConsider the first interior column from the left end of the wall. It labeled on the drawing asPC-8. Load width for the column is 16'-8". The column length is 24'-2", plus the rise in the roofof 16.6", minus the 8" purlin depth, minus the approx 8" rigid frame rafter depth, and minus cliphole offset of 2" resulting in a column length of 23.95'. The moment in the column from the 10



psf wind load is 16.67 * 10 * 23.952 / 8 = 11.95 ft-kips. The allowable moment in a W8X10that has an unbraced length of 7.33' is 17.7 ft-kips.

The column deflection is 5 * 16.7 * 10 * 23.954 1.728 / (384 * 29,000 * 30.8) = 1.38". Thiscompares to an allowable of 23.95 * 12 / 120 = 2.40". Hence the W8X10 column is used.

B3. RIGID FRAME INTERIOR COLUMNThe rigid frame interior column is pinned at each end and subject to an axial load to support therigid frame. In addition, due to this partition wall, the column is subjected to a moment from thewind load. From the rigid frame design a 6" by 6" tube column with 3/16" wall thickness wasselected. Member area is 4.27 in^2, section modulus 7.93 in³, and radius of gyration 2.36 in. Ithas a maximum axial load of 24.2 kips and consider the moment from wind on the wall to bethe same as the above column of 11.95 ft- kips. The column axial stress is 24.2 / 4.27 = 5.67ksi. The column bending stress is 11.95 * 12 / 7.93 = 18.1 ksi. The allowable bending stressare 0.60 * 46 = 27.6 ksi and axial allowable with an unbraced length of 7.33' is 24.3 ksi. Thecombined axial and bending check is:

5.67 / 24.3 + 18.1 / 27.6 = 0.23 + 0.66 = 0.89 < 1.33, therefore okay.

C. PARTITION WALL DETAILINGMany parts of the partition detailing are the same as a typical endwall. Only those parts whichare unique for this partition wall be presented. Those parts include: length of girt G-55, lengthof column PC-8, and length of girt G-59. These items will illustrate calculating member lengthof members that frame into the rigid frame rafter and column and also detailing the girtconnection to a tube column.

C1. LENGTH OF GIRT G-55.This girt connects to the hot rolled column on the right and to the rigid frame sidewall columnon the left. Detailing methods and parameters are shown below.

CONNECTIONDETAILING

METHOD DRAWING PARAMETERS DRAWING

Girt to R W column 358 = 1 PT6 fcq = 3.25" PP1

Girt to sidewall column 124 = 2 RF8 eww = 0.25 RF8

Member parameters for the 8X25C16 are: a = 2.0", b = 4.0", c = 1.75"

Figure C1 illustrates the factors necessary to calculate the girt length.

Based on the drawing, the length of girt G-55 is:= 16' 8" - (10. + 2 * 0.3125 - 11.5 + (12.5 -11.5) * 17 / 22.58 + 0.25 + 3.25) = 173.62"= 14'-5 5/8", program length is the same.

C2. LENGTH OF COLUMN PC-8The column connects to the underside of the rigid frame with a clip that is welded to thecolumn flange. The column to rafter connection is controlled by DM125 shown on drawing EC4. The gap between the underside of the flange and the top of the column is set byDT_BUILD(evv) which is set to 1.0".

Figure C2 illustrates the factors necessary to calculate the column length.



Based on the drawing, the length of column PC-2 is:

= 24'-2" + 16.6667" - (8 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 8 - (8 - 7) * 1.67 / 10) * Ö145 / 12 - 1.0= 24.1064' = 24'- 1 1/4", program length is the same.

C3. LENGTH OF GIRT G-59.Girt G-59 was selected since it frames into the rigid frame tube column. This connection isdetailed by DM360. Option 1 for a welded clip is used. DT_BUILD(fct) is the gap betweenthe surface of the tube column and the end of the girt. This is shown on parameter drawing PP2 and is set to 0.25". The side dimension on the tube column is 6". The other end of the girtis attached to the R column. As illustrated in section C1, the offset parameter isDT_BUILD(faq) which has a value of 3.25".

Based on the above parameters, the length of girt G-59 is:= 16'-8" - ( 3.25 + 0.25 + 3.0 ) = 16'-1 1/2" , program length is the same.

C4. RIGID FRAME DETAILINGNote the shop drawings for the rigid frame columns and rafters have welded clips to attach thewall girts and the partition columns. The hole offsets match the parameters illustrated in theabove sections. A shop drawing of the rigid frame sidewall column is on drawing RF1-1A.

The shop drawing for the tube columns also have a welded clip. This is shown on drawing RF1-7. Note their are clips on 4 sides of the columns since there are intersecting partitions atthose rigid frame columns.

C5. WALL PANEL DETAILINGParameters for detailing the partition wall panels are shown on drawing PP8.

D. PARTITION WALL DRAWINGSPartition wall drawings include the erection drawings for the framing and the sheeting plus theshop drawings for the individual members. The erection drawing is shown on drawing PARTDWG3. The unique shop drawings were illustrated in the above section on detailing.

2.7 9-00-7 Partition Wall Example: Transverse partition wall not atrigid frame

PROGRAM ENHANCEMENT


NUMBER: 9-00-7

PROGRAM: ALL

MANUAL: Design, Detailing, Drawing, Data Files

ENHANCEMENT: Partition Wall Example: Transverse partition wall not at rigid frame.

TO ACTIVATE: Currently Active.

DESCRIPTION: This example illustrates the design, detailing, and drawing of transverse partitionwalls not located at a rigid frame. This is similar to endwall design and detailing, except for therafter. A rafter is added between purlins, or to the underside of the purlin as specified by therafter option. The top of column attaches to the added rafter. The rafter option and orientationare specified by the user in the DESCTRL.IN file, see PE 9-00-1.

A. DESCRIPTION OF PARTITION WALLThis is partition wall 4 of the 6 partitions setup in the test building. The erection drawing for thepartition is shown on page 2. Note there is one framed opening, the columns are wide flangemembers except for the 'O' type columns at the ends. The rafter option 3 and orientation 'D'are used.

B. DESIGN OF PARTITION WALLThe partition wall is designed for a user set wind loading that is used on all the wallcomponents. In this case the design wind load is 10 psf. Details of the design that are reportedare a wall girt, a corner column, and an interior column.

B1. WALL GIRT DESIGNConsider girt G-62, which has a load width of 6'-0". The girt span is the bay width minus theoffset at each end, which gives a span of (20'-0") - (2 * 3 1/2") = 19'-5". The wind load iswL²/8 = (6.00 * 10.0) * (19.4167)² / 8 = 2828 ft-lbs. The unbraced length of the inside girtflange is the full length by default, due to panels on one side only. The allowable moment ofthe smallest 8" Z section is 3.04 ft-kips which results in a unity check value of 0.93.

The deflection of the 8X25Z16 girt is 5 * (6.0 * 10) * (19.4167)4 * (1.728) / (384 * 29000 *7.759) = 0.85 inch. The limiting deflection is span divided by 180, which is (19.4167 * 12) / 180= 1.29 inch. Hence, the 8X25Z16 is selected.

B2. CORNER COLUMN DESIGNConsider the left partition corner column. It is labeled PC-11 on the drawing. Load width forthe column is 20'-0" / 2 = 10'-0". The column length is 24'-2" plus the rise in the roof of 0.666"minus the 8" purlin depth resulting in a column length of 23.556'. The column is assumedsupported by the sidewall girts, therefore the calculated moment is based on the girt span



rather than the column length. The moment maximum resulting from the 10 psf wind load is(10 * 10) * (7.333)² / 8 = 0.67 ft-kips. The allowable moment for the 8X2CH16 that has anunbraced length of 7.33' is 1.90 ft-kips.

The deflection of the 8X2CH16 column is 5 * (10 * 10) * (7.333)4 * (1.728) / (384 * 29000 *6.373) = 0.04 inch. The limiting deflection is span divided by 180, which is (7.333 * 12) / 180 =0.48 inch. Hence, the 8X2CH16 is selected.

B3. INTERIOR COLUMN DESIGNConsider the first interior column from the left end of the wall. It is labeled PC-12 on thedrawing. Load width for the column is 20'-0". The column length is 24'-2" plus the rise in theroof of 1.666' minus the 8" purlin depth resulting in a column length of 25.166'. The calculatedmoment from the 10 psf wind load is (10 * 20) * (25.166)² / 8 = 15.83 ft-kips. The allowablemoment for the W8X10 that has an unbraced length of 7.33' is 17.7 ft-kips.

The deflection of the W8X10 column is 5 * (10 * 20) * (25.166)4 * (1.728) / (384 * 29000 *30.8) = 2.02 inch. The limiting deflection is span divided by 180, which is (25.1666 * 12) / 180= 1.68 inch. Hence, the W8X10 did not work due to deflection considerations. The next 8"

deep column, W8X13, gives a deflection of 5 * (10 * 20) * (25.166)4 * (1.728) / (384 * 29000 *30.8) = 1.57 inch. Hence the W8X13 column is selected.

C. PARTITION WALL DETAILINGMany parts of the partition detailing are the same as a typical endwall. Only those parts whichare unique for this partition wall will be presented. These include: length of girt G-62, length ofcorner column PC-11, length of interior column PC-12, partition rafter layout & length forrafter option 3 with 'D' orientation.

C1. LENGTH OF GIRT G-1The girt connects to hot-rolled partition column on the right and the 'O' partition column on theleft. Detailing methods and parameters are shown below.

CONNECTION DM DRAWING PARAMETERS DRAWING

Girt to WR Column 40 EC10 eg = 4.50 PE5

Girt to O Column 351 PT16 eeq = 0.50 PT16

Member parameters for the 8X25Z16 are: a = 2.0", b = 4.0", c = 1.75"

Figure C1 illustrates the factors necessary to calculate the girt length.

Based on the figure, the girt length is: (20'- 0") - (10" + 0.50") - (4.50") = 18'- 9" (225"),program length is the same.

C2. LENGTH OF CORNER COLUMN PC-11The top of column connects to the partition rafter. The column to rafter connection iscontrolled by DM354 as shown on drawing PT10. The gap between the top of column andlowest height of the rafter web across the column flange is set by DT_BUILD(leg) which hasa value of 0.25 inch. The bottom of column connection is set by DM348 as shown on drawing EC3.




Based on the figure, the length of column PC-11 is: (24'- 2") + (1/12) * (10") - (8") / COS -(0.25") - (0.25") = 23'- 6 5/16" (282.306"), program length is the same.

C3. LENGTH OF INTERIOR COLUMN PC-12The top of column connects to the partition rafter. The column to rafter connection iscontrolled by DM354 as shown on drawing PT10. The gap between the top of column andlowest height of the rafter web across the column flange is set by DT_BUILD(leg) which hasa value of 0.25 inch. The bottom of column connection is a welded base plate as this is theonly available option for W and R columns as shown on drawing EC3.


Based on the figure, the length of column PC-12 is: (24'- 2") + (1/12) * (19'-10") - (8") / COS -(0.25") = 25'- 1 9/16" (301.556"), program length is the same.

C4. PARTITION RAFTER LAYOUT AND LENGTH FOR RAFTER OPTION 3 WITH 'D'ORIENTATION

The rafter offset is the horizontal offset distance to the start of the rafter. The first rafter willalways have an offset of 0.00, because all offsets are measured from the beginning of thepartition. The number of pieces is determined by the maximum piece length allowed and thesurface intersections. The offset in PARTDET.IN is an approximate distance, and requiredadjustments due to end conditions are made in the PARTDET.OUT file. The maximum rafterlength is set by DT_BUILD(leh) which has a value of 240.0 inch. The layout is from the peakdown with the full length pieces at the peak. Figure C4.1 shows the preliminary layout used inthe PARTDET.IN file.

*( )PARTITION_RAFTERS:*Partn No. Raf Raf Raf Raf* Id Raf Id Offset Size Orn Option 4 6 1 0.0000 '8X2CH16' 'D' '3' 2 5.0691 '8X2CH16' 'D' '3' 3 25.0000 '8X2CH16' 'D' '3' 4 44.9309 '8X2CH16' 'D' '3' 5 64.8618 '8X2CH16' 'D' '3' 6 84.7927 '8X2CH16' 'D' '3'

The rafter is then finalized by considering the required lap and the end conditions. The 'O'type rafter lap is set by DT_BUILD(lej) which has a value of 2.0 inch. The end conditionsconsidered are for rafters that do not extend the full length of the partition, see PP7 drawingfor available end condition parameters.

The length of RAFTER1 = (5.0691') / COS - (0.25") + (2.00") = 5'- 2 13/16" (62.7900"),program length is the same.

The length of RAFTER2, RAFTER3, RAFTER4, and RAFTER5 are all full length of 20'- 0".

The length of RAFTER6 = (75.0000') / COS - (3) * (20'0") + (3) * (2.00") - (0.25") = 15'- 8



7/8" (188.8696"), program length is the same.

C5. WALL PANEL DETAILINGParameters for detailing the partition wall panels are shown on drawing PP8. The partitionpanel detailing uses the DM options as set in the DS_PANEL.SIZ file. The longitudinalpartitions and partitions with panels specified to a height below the roof line follow the DM forsidewall. The transverse partitions with panel height to the roof line follow the DM forendwall.

D. PARTITION WALL DRAWINGSPartition wall drawings include the erection drawings for the framing and one or two sheetingplans. All the views are shown on one drawing. In the absence of panels on both sides of thepartition those views are not shown. The erection drawing is shown on page 5. Partition walldrawings include the shop drawings for the individual members. These unique shop drawingsare illustrated in the above section on detailing.

PROGRAM: All

MANUAL: Design, Detailing, Drawing, and Data Files

ENHANCEMENT: Partition Wall Example: Longitudinal partition with rigid frame columns.


DESCRIPTION: This example illustrates the design, detailing, and drawing of a longitudinal partitionwall located such that it includes interior columns of rigid frames. The interior rigid framecolumns are detailed to include the clips for the partition wall girts.

A. DESCRIPTION OF PARTITION WALLThis is partition wall 1 of the 6 partitions set up in the test building and illustrated in PE 9-00-9.The erection drawing for the partition wall is included in this enhancement. Note there is oneframed opening that is an open bay. One influence of the open bay is to have two separatepartitions, one on each side of the open bay, that can be entered as a single partition. The twointerior columns are tube members which are interior columns for the rigid frames.

B. ENTERING PARTITION WALL DATAA plan view of the partition wall is in the 'Help files' part of this manual. The input data for thepartition walls is also in that section. Please take out the plan view drawing of the wall and thepages containing the partition wall input data. The following comments describe some of theinput items for the wall.

LINE: PARTITION WALL LOCATIONa) The 'L' is for longitudinal indicating that the wall runs along the length of the building.b) The 'R' indicates that the wall is to the right of the offset dimension.c) The next 3 columns indicate information about the start of the wall, followed by three

columns about the end of the wall.d) The 0.0 offset at the start of the wall indicates that the partition wall starts on the

inside face of the left endwall.e) The 0 at the start of the wall indicates that the partition wall starts next to an outside

wall.f) The start tie-in condition is 1 since it is planned that the start column will be attached

to the endwall girts, see drawing PT20.g) The wall ends at 65' from the left endwall and it is adjacent to wall 6.h) The tie in option only applies if this wall has a column at the end of the wall. This wall

does not have a column at that location, the girts attach to the column in the adjacentwall. Enter a number since the program is expecting a number.



i) There can be a number of partition walls identical to this that are located at differentwidths over the building. Enter the quantity of identical partition walls under Qty.

j) The location offset is the distance from the back sidewall to the partition wall. Notethis dimension can be to the left, right, or center of the wall as indicated under thecolumn heading 'Wall Dir'.

LINE: PARTITION WALL BAY SPACINGa) Enter this the same as for endwall bay spacing. View the longitudinal walls from the

building front sidewall. Note that 4 bays are entered including the 20' bay which will bean open bay.

LINE: PARTITION WALL FRAMED AND OPEN BAYSa) Enter the data the same as for wall framed openings.

LINE: PARTITION WALL COLUMN/RAFTER FRAMINGa) This partition wall starts with an open C column which is labeled 'O'. The interior

columns are 'C' and there is no column at the end of the partition wall.b) A 'C' member will be used as the rafter and it will be open to the 'L'. That is, the open

side of the 'C' will facing the building left endwall. c) Rafter option '1' indicates that the rafter is placed between the purlins. This is shown

on drawing PT1.

LINE: PARTITION WALL PARTIAL WALLSa) Not used in this wall.

LINE: PARTITION WALL GIRTSa) The partition wall has Z flush girts.b) The wall has panels on one side up to the 18' level. There is an option to have a

different girt type at the top of the wall panels. Set that girt type under the columnheading 'Top_Girt Type'. In this case the top girt will be a CF.

LINE: PARTITION WALL GIRT LOCATIONa) Data entry is similar to building wall girt location.b) Since the wall panels go to 18', you may want to set a girt at that level.

LINE: PARTITION WALL PANELS, LEFT/FRONT SIDE OF WALLa) On the front side of this wall there will be a panel that extends to 18'. If a 0.0 height is

entered then the letter designation B or T is used indicating that the panels extent tothe bottom or top of the purlins.

b) The panel part name comes from the DS_PANEL file.c) The panel color and trim color are represented by a four letter code. The first two

letters are for the color and the second two letters are for the trim style.

LINE: PARTITION WALL PANELS, RIGHT/BACK SIDE OF WALLa) The wall panel on the back side of the wall continues to the bottom side of the purlins

as indicated by the 0.0 height and the 'B' letter.

LINE: PARTITION WALL ACCESSORIESa) Insulation will not be used on this wall.b) The base options used include base channel and base seal.



LINE: COLUMN INFO. FOR INTERSECTION OF TWO CONTINUOUS PARTITIONSa) Note from the plan view of the partitions that wall 1 intersects with wall 3. Walls 1

and 3 need to be entered as wall id.b) The column type for each wall is '-' since the common column is a rigid frame column.c) The column options are shown on drawing PT20. The '-' option is used since no

partition wall columns are used, the only column used is the rigid frame column.

C. DESIGN OF PARTITION WALLThere is nothing new in this design compared to what is reported in PE 9-00-5. Hence, nodesign calculations will be provided.

D. PARTITION WALL DETAILINGMany parts of the partition detailing are the same as a typical endwall. Only those parts whichare unique for this partition wall be presented. Those parts include lengths and hole locationsfor: girts, jambs, columns, and rafters.

D1. GIRT G-2: FROM END COLUMN TO RIGID FRAME COLUMN TO DOOR JAMBCalculation are shown on Figure D1. Figure D1 includes the reference to the required detailingmethods and detailing parameters. Length calculations are also given.

D2. INTERIOR COLUMN TO RAFTER CONNECTIONThis connection is illustrated in Figure D2. The option '1' rafter with a 'R' orientation is used.Bolted clips connect the rafter to the roof purlins. A four bolt pattern connects the top of thecolumn to the rafter. The Figure lists the detailing methods, detailing parameters, and reportsthe equations for length calculations.

Figure D2A details the location of the holes in the rafter. The rafter to purlin clip is alsodetailed on this drawing.

D3. END COLUMN TO RAFTER CONNECTIONThis connection is the same as the for the interior column to rafter in section D2

D5. WALL PANEL DETAILINGParameters for detailing the partition wall panels are shown on drawing PP8. Figure D5illustrates the calculation of the length of the panels on the front and back of the wall. Recallthat the front panel stops at the 18' girt while the back panel stops at the underside of the roofpurlins.

MANUAL: Detailing

ENHANCEMENT: Partition Wall Detailing Example: Building with six partition walls.


DESCRIPTION: This example illustrates the detailing of columns, rafters, girts, clips, sheeting, trim,and fasteners for partition walls. This covers items not covered in other enhancements. Theintent of this enhancement is to show HOW TO CALCULATE lengths, hole locations, andquantities for the various members in partition walls.

Each partition is detailed separately and includes all columns, rafters, door jambs, headers,girts, panels, loose clips, sheeting angle, trim, and fasteners that are unique to this wall. Eachitem that has already been shown how to calculate will not be repeated.

Formulas for calculating member lengths are shown on each shop drawing. For columns notoccurring at a rigid frame, the roof height must be calculated. For partition columns that occurat a rigid frame but not rigid frame interior columns, the height to the underside of rigid framemust be calculated. When underside of rigid frame height is required the MPARTDETprogram will calculate this value. Door jambs that extend full height have lengths calculatedsimilar to columns. All other members involve spacing between members. After the roofheight, frame height, or spacing between members are calculated then end deducts are appliedto arrive at the member length.

Many parts of the partition detailing are the same as a typical endwall. All directions noted inthis enhancement are as viewed from the outside of building standing at either the left endwallor the front sidewall. The left side of transverse and front side of longitudinal walls arespecified on the same line.

A. OVERALL DESCRIPTION OF PARTITION WALLS KEYDWG_6There are 6 partition walls included in this example. Partition 1 and 2 are longitudinal withsheeting full height on one side of the wall. Partition 3 is a transverse partition the full buildingwidth that is centered on the rigid frame above. Partitions 4 and 5 are transverse partitions thefull building width that extend to the underside of the purlins. Partition 6 is a partial widthpartition that extends to the underside of purlins. The plan view of this partition example isshown on KEYDWG_6. Partition wall 1 will be fully detailed, then only the portions of theother partitions that require a different calculation will be included.

B. PARTITION WALL 1 PART1_FSPartition 1 is a longitudinal partition that includes rigid frame interior columns as partition



columns. The top of columns are connected to an added rafter, with rafter option 1 androtation 'L' for open side to the left. There is a 20'-0" x 24'-6" opening in the second bay. Girtheights are 7'-4", 12'-0", 15'-0", and 18'-0". The program will add top girts for panels that do notextend to the roof line. The panel height specified is 18'-0" for the left side. The panel height isentered as 0'-0" to represent full height with 'B' top of purlin for panels extend to the bottom ofpurlin for panels on the right side. Colors for panels and trim are 'P1' for the left and 'P7' forthe right. This partition starts at the left endwall, intersects partition 3 at a rigid frame column,and ends at partition 6.

B1. COLUMNS AND RAFTERSMembers listed in this paragraph have shop drawings with sketches showing calculations. Thefirst column is an 'O' column with mark PC-1 and a 'C' rafter above with mark PR-1. The next2 columns are rigid frame interior columns with no added rafter above. The last column is a'C' column in partition 6. These are labeled on the framing view, see PART1_FO. A rafterPR-2 is provided at the top of door jamb that extends to the roof line, type 2 opening.

B2. SECONDARY FRAMINGMembers listed in this paragraph have shop drawings with sketches showing calculations. Forthe framed opening, the left door jamb has a mark of DJ-5, and the header has a mark ofDH-3. Girt type is 'ZF' and top girt type is 'CF', which occurs at the top of panel height of18'-0". Door jambs, headers, and girts locations are shown on PART1_FO, and calculationsfor length of girt are included.

B3. PANELSPartition panels can be full height by specifying 0.00' height and the panel part name. Partition1 has a full height on the back sidewall side of the wall, and an 18'-0" top of panel height on thefront side of the wall. The panel lengths are calculated and shown on PART1_SO.
