2003 IBC - Residential Interior Wall Loads

[IslandEngineer]

I have a residential, non-load bearing, 14 ft high, interior wall constructed of 2x4 studs at 16" c/c with drywall each side. The wall is not intended to carry gravity loads nor lateral loads. Is there any design criteria for this wall? I think I remember a 5 psf lateral load requirement for interior walls (perhaps from a previous edition of the UBC?)but I can find no IBC design criteria for such a wall. Please advise.

In the FBC, based on the IBC, that note is in 1607.13. Note that it is in the live load section.

Table R602.3(5) of the 2003 IRC is Size, Height and Spacing of Wood Studs and states that Nonbearing Walls of 2x4 @ 24"oc can be max 14' tall. It's prescriptive. I believe the IBC refers to the IRC for residential applications.
