• Resumen

  • This research studies the Drywall panel's behavior subjected to the action of horizontal loads. Furthermore this pretends to establish a comparison between the damage produced in the two systems (Drywall - Masonry) when they were submitted to horizontal loads. The research gave as a result that Drywall panels submitted to drift values about 0.5% had an acceptable behavior from the point of view of the damage present in this system compared to masonry nonstructural walls. Being Drywall panels nonstructural walls with larger inter story drift capacity than masonry walls, they emerge as a new alternative because of the requirements presented in NSR-98 (Norma Colombiana de Diseño y Construcción Sismo Resistente) about demand of drift.
