DEFECTS IN THE INSTALLATION OF SUSPENDED CEILING SYSTEMS

Abstract

The object of research is the technology of suspended ceiling systems. The goal of the research is to study non-standard solutions for installing suspended ceilings and their impact on the reliability of the structure. The relevance has been confirmed by a large number of accidents in the form of collapse of suspended ceilings in buildings of various designation. The basic requirements of the regulations for ceiling installation have been examined. Examples of collapse of suspended ceiling systems have been given. Standard solutions for suspended ceiling framing on the example of KNAUF have been described. The types of violations of technical requirements for suspended ceilings have been determined. Possible cases of using non-standard methods when installing suspended ceilings influencing their safe operation have been evaluated. Illustrations of defects when installing suspended ceilings have been given. Recommendations for the elimination of defects in the installation mechanisms and possible solutions for their strengthening have been elaborated.
