WALLING SYSTEM

WALL

Refers to vertical construction delineating and enclosing space inside a building forming the external envelope, free standing etc, it may be for load bearing or non load bearing.

WALLING

Refers to the process and product of constructing walls in masonry.

WALL BASE

That part of an external wall below damp proof course or above the ground on which an external wall is constructed.

Materials used for wall construction includes bricks, blocks, stones, concrete, timber, mud, grass, aluminum, steel and plastics.

THE FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF A WALL

Should be strong enough to withstand the lateral loads

Should provide privacy to the buildings occupants

Should be waterproof preventing water from seeping into the inside of the building

Should have good thermal and acoustic qualities to both inside and outside stresses.

WALLING SYSTEMS

Masonry wall Systems

Masonry wall are made of known building blocks bonded together with mortar to form walls that have desired properties that includes fire resistance, durability and structural efficiency particularly in compression. Masonry units that are used in erection processes are bricks, concrete or cement-sand blocks, structural clay tile, structural glass block and natural or cast stone.

Masonry walls are constructed as solid walls, cavity walls or veneered walls

STUD WALLING (DRY WALLING)

METAL STUD WALL

Metal stud wall work consists of a stud and a track. Metal stud framework provide a frame for installation of plasterboard which helps to provide insulation against the weather and acoustic. There are used in the internal partition wall, lining and ceiling, can be used also for improving the existing wall or ceiling.

WOOD STUD WALL

Is the type of stud wall that uses timber as the principal erection material. It comprises of the transoms and studs fixed together with either metal brackets, or jointed together or immersed within a hollow metal housing. It is later furnished with the plasterboard for insulation and covering up of the frame structure. Plasterboard may be built by hardboards, chipboard or gypsum boards. The fixation can be either by special nails, screws or fasteners.

FENCE WALLING

Fence walling refers to erection of the perimeter site wall that encompasses the building or structures usually along the site boundary lines. Always fence wall are free standing wall in that it does not have a series of crossing wall that would aid support. Due to this fence wall are highly susceptible to fall, bend or crack if not well designed and constructed.

* For structural sound fence wall erection the following are key technical considerations
* Deep trench excavation for foundations ensuring that a firm base is attained to support upper wall
* The foundation wall should be wider than the upper wall and elevated to over 300mm high above ground level.
* Materials used should be well checked in laboratory yielding good result and used in appropriate mix or fixation details to make structures strong for long period.

CONCRETE WALLING

Concrete walling is predominantly used for shear and retaining walls it offers good structural support against adverse shear, axial stresses and bending moments. Usually it is reinforced with iron bars to increase its load bearing capacity and decrease concrete thermal cracks. Concrete walls are used in the erection of cement silos, water tanks and storage tanks at they offer good resistance against leakages.

Pumice concrete wall is a type of concrete wall made of light, porous lava stone or volcanic glass with a high silica content as coarse aggregate in making concrete blocks to which are then used for walling.

BRICK MASONRY WALLING

Brick masonry walling refers to construction of wall units using bricks either burnt or cast bricks arranged and bonded together using mortar (lime or cement mortar). Brick masonry can be constructed using either English bond, Flemish bond, stretcher bond, header bond or common/ American bond. Thickness of walling can be either ½ brick all. 1 brick wall or 1,1/2 brick wall depending on the location of the wall, design load and geometry.

The block masonry wall involves arranging and bonding together block units along the wall plane to a desired wall level. Blocks are bigger than bricks made of either cement sand or concrete blocks. Key consideration in walling processes is that the ratio in the block units should not exceed or be less to that of mortar joints or on beds. If this allowed it will lead to cracks along perpend.

GLASS WALLING

Is the made of glass fixed either on a steel or aluminum frame to enable it to stand still without falling. Glass walls installed for provision of day light, aesthetic increment, some glasses are thermal resistance hence increasing thermal insulations. Glass walling can be built either in a frameless/ unitized or framed glass panels.

ALUMINIUM WALLING

Aluminum wall are the ones that are made out of aluminum frames and composite panels usually built in the interior as partition walls they offer quick construction process as compared to other types of walling they need expert knowledge and clear estimations for their efficient construction operations. Aluminum walling have the advantage of being versatile in that it can be easily dismantled and erected as per the wish of the client.

NICHE WALLS

Niches are recesses in the thickness of the walls which help for decorations and installations of cabinets. Niches were used in the prehistoric periods. Niches can be made by hunching the walls surfaces or by intentionally recessing the solid wall. They help to provide spaces for placement of flowers, decorations or for installation of cabinets. They help to improve aesthetics in the interior or controlling light with in a room.

STEEL WALLS

These are walls that a built with the framing of steel section members and covered with the steel panels. They are either built for indoor or for outdoor. It consists of struts and studs with or without bracings and with the sheet panes fixed to cover the faces of the frame. Architectural steel walls offers sound insulation of up to 60dB, fire resistance, durability, magnetic, Hygienic, Finishes: cladding with steel; fabric, wood and steel walls fit with every architectural environment.
