<strong>Knauf</strong> partitions such as the wooden panel<br />

partitions and the metal stud partitions<br />

can be used as shear walls for horizontal<br />

loads from wind and earthquakes for both<br />

new buildings and the renovation of buildings.<br />

Shear walls are well-known building<br />

methods in the USA and New Zealand where<br />

wooden constructions are mainly used.<br />

The values and application guidelines<br />

of non-load bearing partitions can be applied<br />

to lateral loads. No resonance effects<br />

should be expected for in-plane loads due<br />

to the high natural frequency in case of<br />

shear loads.<br />

Consequently, no dynamic effects need<br />

to be taken into consideration, and structural<br />

loads can be assumed accordingly.<br />
