Performance Evaluation of Wall Panel under Deformational Stresses due to Building Inter-story Drift
Macro Interconnected Coating (ICC-5) Interior Partition Wall
Overview
Building Deformations during seismic and strong winds event are inevitable to
any structures. Inter-story drift is one critical building deformation mechanism where
there is a relative movement between consecutive floors. Structural codes and
standards assumed provisionary acceptable maximum horizontal inter-story drift of
two percent the story height in consideration. Such limit shall be incorporated in the
performance evaluation of any non-structural attachments to a building to account
probable damage. These damages would be expected due to excessive
deformational stresses induced.
Thus, Macro Interconnected Coating (ICC) 5 Wall Panel was analyzed under
deformational stresses unaccounted in the strength evaluation initially presented. A
finite element model was constructed for the analysis. Considering the composite
nature of the panel, a non-linear layered shell element was used. This layered shell
element comprises a core layer (Expanded Polystyrene) and outer layers or face
sheets (Mas coating). The model was then restrained similar to actual constructed
conditions. Using SAP2000, displacement loads were assigned in the FEM nodes
subjected to interstory drift calculated based on story heights being accounted for,
Shell stresses were extracted and analyzed if within the limit provided by actual
test results. Recommendations on provision of gaps and space allowances were also
incorporated in the analysis to achieve satisfactory results.

Supplementary Section A: Finite Element Model
A Finite Element Model using a Non-Linear Layered Shell Element was

constructed to investigate generated interfacial shear stresses between the
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Core and the Mas Coating Face sheet when subjected
to provisionary Building Interstory Drift (BID).
The figure below shows the cross section of the layered shell for the four panel
specifications of Macro ICC-5 Wall System:

To simulate the probable deformation of the MACRO Air SABS, Wall under Inter-
story Drift for a wide range of partition dimensions. Modelled specimen comprised of
assembled panels with height of 3 m, 4 m and 5m. Moreover, under a specific height,
varying aspect ratios (height to width ratio) of 10:3, 2:1 and 1:1 were examined.
H = 3.0 m H:W = 10:3 H = 3.0 m H:W = 2:1 H = 3.0 m H:W = 1:1

H = 4.0 m H:W = 10:3 H = 4.0 m H:W = 2:1 H = 4.0 m H:W = 1:1
H = 5.0 m H:W = 10:3 H = 5.0 m H:W = 2:1 H = 5.0 m H:W = 1:1

Considering the joint constraints and connections of the wall panel to the
surrounding structural elements. Gap links to represent initial opening between
interfaces of the wall panel and other elements were modelled. Moreover, shear links
to constitute the bond effect of the applied adhesives and compression-only springs
to simulate slab-wall interactions were also included. Details were as shown in the
figure below which was based on the shop drawing plans provided:

The upper joint elements of the wall panels were subjected with displacement
loading along the global X direction where the drift was considered. The
displacement applied is equivalent to BID limit against seismic effect of 0.5% the story
height. This provisionary for serviceability checks of non-structural components under
serviceable earthquake events.

Section D: Conclusion and Recommendation
Based on the analysis output presented and considering imposed of

recommended 12-mm vertical gaps, expected deformational stresses induced due
to probable interstory drift in a building were within the acceptable limits referenced
from actual tests results.
Given maximum compressive stress before crushing of concrete equivalent to

29.21 MPa (Mas Submittals 6th Edition), maximum expected deformational
compressive stress developed was 30.02 MPa while the mean maximum expected
compressive stress was 28.72 MPa among the 36 examined FE Models of varying
aspect ratios from 1.0 to 5.6. Likewise, maximum deformational tensile stress induced
in the fiber-reinforced Mas Coating was 3.94 MPa while the mean max deformational
tensile stress was at 3.27 MPa which is less than the specified 4.6 MPa from submitted
test results (Mas Submittals 6th Edition) for the same range of specimen models.
This indicates that at provisionary building inter-story drift for serviceability

requirements, the partition walls in examination were expected to undergo
serviceable seismic event without major damage.
