non-bearing 35 foot tall partition wall
non-bearing 35 foot tall partition wall
(OP)
I have a interior non-loadbearing wall that is 35 feet tall x 50 feet long. The architect is asking what we can use to construct this wall. He would rather use wood, but wasn't sure if anyone has ever run into spanning wood 35 feet without going to some kind of engineering lumber, such as I-joist. Any suggestions?

The columns could be spaced as needed inside the partition, with horizontal framing between them. Using an appropriate number of 2 x10 laminations for each column should meet the NDS requirements for the slenderness ratio.
Many of the old wooden roller coasters at amusement parks used built-up columns that were very long.

I agree with the I-Joist/LVL suggestions but for an additional reason. They are engineered products so have the suppler provide the engineering (delegated) and you review.
