What is wall post?
Wall post, which is also known as wadar, is used to increase the resistance of the structure against natural factors such as earthquakes and wind. This product is used to connect structural and non-structural intermediate frames to the building frame. Intermediate frames are walls that are divided into two categories based on whether or not they are connected to the structure.
Wall post is a coil that is used in certain lengths to make the wall work seamlessly. These wall posts will cause the wall to clash with the skeleton and as a result the wall will be stronger. As its name suggests, wall post is a wall support. This element, which is usually designed as a beam-column, is placed at the end of industrial halls and generally frames with high openings, whose end is covered with a wall. In this article from Academy of Civil, we intend to examine the types of wall posts.
Wall post in National Building Regulations and Code 2800
Regulation 2800 has completely and with sufficient detail determined the way of implementing Wall Post as well as the dimensions required for designing and providing equipment. The first point that is emphasized in this regulation is the need to use wall posts for all side walls (especially the front wall) in order to resist events such as earthquakes. According to this regulation, all free edges of walls and vertical edges of non-structural walls must be properly restrained. Also, the horizontal edges of the non-structural wall should be tied with steel coils or studs 6 (or equivalent to the cross-section of reinforced concrete). The internal walls, which have a height of more than one meter and eighty centimeters, must also be restrained from the sides of the structure.
