Maximum Partition Heights
BS 5234: Part 2 does not contain a consistent methodology for establishing the performance of a partition in terms of height. Gyproc has therefor adpopted a methodology, which is based on the the level of lateral deflection under a given uniformly distributed load (UDL). The criterion is that the maximum lateral deflection of the partition should not exceed L/240 (Where L is the partition height) When the partition is uniformly loaded to 200pa. This methodology is followed for arriving at maximum partition heights.
