Folding Partition (Suspended) Loads
Folding Partition (Suspended) Loads
(OP)
I'm looking to locate hanging partition loads on my structural drawings but do not have specific information from the architect...go figure. The loads are being suspended from CFS trusses. What is a conservative design load to show on plan? My partition length is 30' so is it reasonable to specify say a 100plf and 3000 lb concentrated load anywhere along the track? Any suggestions?
TIA

Typical loads range from 6-10 psf. 10' high partition = 100 plf on the high end of the spectrum. don't forget stacking loads and any other possible loading configurations.

The load range that SperlingPE gave is typical.

Also, don't forget that when the partition is folded up, ALL its weight is at one location - so two different load conditions need to be checked.
