Can we have a masonry wall as exterior skin/interior partition as in the case of residential buildings – from bondage point of view between structural steel and masonry walls?
Yes, Masonry walls can be tied to the Building Steel columns with ties for lateral support. In such cases Vardhman will design the structure with low horizontal deflections to prevent cracking of masonry. Sometimes consultants will detail the masonry wall to be isolated from the steel structure which will allow for more optimization of steel building and lower cost. When required, we can also provide beams to support masonry walls above openings etc. Vardhman Building design will follow the requirements of the architectural drawings on any project.
