Wall posts are used to restrain internal and external walls against side loads such as wind and earthquakes. These restraints consist of horizontal and vertical coils that increase the resistance of the structure against external factors. These coils are used to connect the building skeleton to structural and non-structural intermediate frames. In most cases, it is used for the implementation of corner metal forces. Do not forget that Iran is on many faults. For this reason, increasing the resistance of buildings against earthquakes is very important.
Types of post wall in different structures
In a general classification, these products are placed in two horizontal and vertical categories. Since these two categories are the most important types of Wall Post that are known in Iran; We will talk more about them later.
Vertical wall post The placement of this product in the wall is vertical and parallel to the column or other components. This H-shaped profile is because of its good appearance; A block or brick fits inside it more easily. Production from two or four corners brings the possibility of restraining the wall from the outside. Among the types of vertical wall posts, we can mention the middle one that runs along the wall and its side type. The side post wall is placed near the vertical members with a certain distance.
Horizontal forcing
This product is used to reduce the free height of walls over 3.5 meters. This product separates the wall from the frame well. Among the other roles assigned to this product, we can mention the maintenance of poles. These poles must be at least one meter away from the column; Because otherwise, the beam may be deformed in the joint area.
