Instruction Example 5.1.: Calculation of the Pitch Size

The pitch sizes for the partition wall shown in the detailed drawing are to be determined.

Known:
Room height: 2500 mm
Length of surface covering material: 2500 mm
a_adm = 600 mm
The runners are cut from 50 mm thick and 4000 mm long boards

Sequence of operations	Comments
1. Determine the cross section of timbers for the posts.	- Read cross section in table 1. - Select: b = 60 mm, d = 75 mm. - Use squared timbers of 60/80 mm². - d for the runner thickness = 80 mm - b for the post width = 60 mm
2. Calculate the pitch size for wall (1).
Requ.:
Known:
b = 60 mm	Lt = 2300 mm

G1 = 4600 mm	n_Fa = 4

a_adm = 600 mm	n_Ta = 2
M1 = 2500 mm
	a₁ = 567.5 mm
	( ) indicates the steps of calculation.
3. Calculate the pitch size for wall (2)	- Since the partition walls meet at right angles, G1 for wall (2) is not 5000 mm! The thickness d = 80 mm (runner thickness) is to be subtracted from G1 = 5000 mm!
Requ.:
Known:	- Follow steps of solution exactly!
b = 60 mm

G1 = 5000 mm - d

a_adm = 600 mm
d = 80 mm	(1) G1 = 5000 mm - 80 mm
M1 = 2500 mm	G1 = 4920 mm

	n_Ta = 2


	n_Fa = 5!

	a₂ = 486 mm
