Lateral-Load Resisting Elements

Non –load bearing elements are designed to support only their own weight and wind or seismic forces perpendicular to the panel. Non-load bearing elements also know as cladding elements, may be designed as non-load bearing spandrels, solid non-load bearing walls or non-load bearing punched wall panels. These elements could be cast from architectural concrete (colored concrete with an acid-etched, exposed aggregate or sand blast finish and textured surfaces with the use of form liners) or plain gray structural concrete Concrete strengths are typically 5000 psi at 28 days.
