hello all. very appreciate that if you can help me with my question. I have a project with lots of openings around the building but in inside some walls are provided. the architecture tried to use CIP walls ( insulated panels between two layers of concrete, cast in place), but as I mentioned it did not providing wall around the building. I tried to go with building frame + special reinforced concrete wall seismic force resistance system. The architect insist on using CIP walls. I was thinking they can be used in this building but as non-structural elements. they are cast in place and the concrete of the structural elements and these walls will cast at the same time. I was thinking about any detail to separate them from the structural elements. what do you think about these all and could you recommend any code source idea that I can consider for 1-the whole design and 2-for the detail connection of these type of non-structural elements?
appreciate it
