Architectural Elements (D11)
Most projects include a significant number of non-structural architectural
elements that under some conditions require restraint as well. This section
relates specifically to vibration-isolated elements and restraint requirements
for them.
The most likely audience for this section would be Architects and Structural
Engineers responsible for the integrity of the structure.
Floating
Floor Restraint Design (D11.1)- This section addresses the basic parameters required to ensure the performance
of a floating floor restraint system. Internal forces in the slab as well
as appropriate restraint techniques are addressed.
- Floating Floor Perimeter Restraint (D11.1.1)
- (Under Construction) Pros and cons of perimeter restraints are
covered in detail in this section.
- Floating Floor Internal Restraints (D11.1.2)
- (Under Construction) In many cases perimeter restraint is either
not possible or impractical. For these cases internal restraint elements
are needed. Information on appropriate internal restraints is available
in this section.
- Isolated Ceiling Perimeter Restraint (D11.2.1)
- (Under Construction) Pros and cons of perimeter restraints are
covered in detail in this section.
- Isolated Ceiling Internal Restraints (D11.2.2)
- (Under Construction) In many cases perimeter restraint is either
not possible or impractical. For these cases internal restraint elements
are needed. Information on appropriate internal restraints is available
in this section.
- Isolated Walls Restrained at the Top and Bottom
(D11.3.1)
- (Under Construction) Pros and cons of perimeter restraints are
covered in detail in this section.
- Isolated Wall Internal Restraints (D11.3.2)
- (Under Construction) In many cases top and bottom restraint is
either not possible or impractical. For these cases internal restraint elements
are needed. Information on appropriate internal restraints is available
in this section.
