Wandsysteme aus Fertigteilen für große Höhen

Wall Systems for Exceptional Heights

For industrial hall constructions, the outside and/or inside walls are very often constructed as precast panel wall systems, with single concrete wall panels mounted on top of each other. According to the design requirements the top panel can be loaded by the weight of a further wall system, very often consisting of lighter aereated concrete panels. The wall panels are normally fixed either at defined points by dowels or continuously, e.g. by a wire rope loop system. Furthermore, these wall systems, if appropriately constructed, can be used as stiffening members for the overall construction or as fire walls. For the detailing, dimensioning and stability analysis of these wall panels some special features have to be observed, which will be pointed out in this paper.
