Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Solid partitions to upper floors can be supported by building them over a rolled steel joist, which will provide adequate structural support. Building them in stretcher bond or parallel to the floor boards may not provide sufficient support, bonding them into external walls may not be practical or structurally sound, and locating them to coincide with ceiling joists may not provide enough support for the weight of the partition.
