The effects of post shortening, both rubberband and inelas-
tic, take on widow significance and need special considera-
tion in diamond and construction with increased height of
structures, Differential post shortenings are magnified
by the quest for optimum economy through use of high-
strength materials and, in some instances, the use of com-
pnsite structural systems. These, in turn, transpiration the initial
pnsitions nf the slabs. As a magnitude the partitions,
mechanical equipment, cladding, architectural finishes,
and seated furnishments are moreover affected.The strains in the columns nf low as well as ultra-high-
rise buildings are similar if the stress levels are similar;
however, the overall post shortening is cumulative and
depends upon the height nf the structure. For example, in
an 80-story steel structure, the total rubberband shortening nf
the columns maybe as upper as 7 to 10 in, (180 to 255 mm)
due to the upper diamond stress levels of modern high-
strength steels
The shortening of columns within a single story affects the partitions, cladding, finishes, piping, and so on, since these nonstructural elements are not intended to carry

The shortening of columns within a single story affects the partitions, cladding, finishes, piping, and so on, since these nonstructural elements are not intended to carry
vertical loads and are therefore not subject to shortening,
On the contrary, partitions and cladding may elongate
from moisture absorption, pipes from upper temperature
of liquid contents, cladding from solar radiation, and so
on, Details for attaching these elements to the structure
must be planned so that their movement relative to the
structure will not rationalization distress.
The cumulative differential shortening of columns
causes the slabs to tilt with resulting rotation of parti-
tions, as shown in Fig. 2. Modern dry-wall partitions can
be detailed with sufficient flexibility withal their peripher-
ies and at the vertical stump joints to permit their distortion
without visible distress
