ICC-ES AC282
Full Name
ICC-ES AC282 – Acceptance Criteria for Thin-shell, Cementitious-coated, Cold-formed Steel Stud Wall Panels
Scope
ICC-ES AC282 establishes the acceptance criteria for evaluating thin-shell, cementitious-coated, cold-formed steel stud wall panels used in building construction. These panels consist of cold-formed steel studs with a cementitious coating applied and cured before erection.
The scope of AC282 includes:
- Materials: specifications for the materials used in the panels, such as the steel studs, cementitious coating, and any additional reinforcement or insulation.
- Manufacturing: requirements for the manufacturing process, ensuring the panels are produced with consistent quality and dimensions.
- Structural performance: criteria for evaluating the structural performance of the panels, including their ability to resist loads, lateral forces, and impact.
- Fire resistance: testing methods for determining the fire resistance rating of the panels, ensuring they meet building code requirements for fire safety.
- Durability: assessment of the panels’ resistance to moisture, weathering, and other environmental factors to ensure their long-term performance.
By adhering to AC282, manufacturers can ensure that their thin-shell, cementitious-coated, cold-formed steel stud wall panels meet the necessary standards for structural integrity, fire safety, and durability in building applications.
