I dont know why they have to lie about it. At $5/8ft board you’d think I paid for the full 1.5. Edit: I mixed up nominal with actual.

    Drywall is not structural on block walls. The blocks are structural themselves.

    The drywall may help minimize shifting/settling but the dreary is not a structurally required component of the block wall.

      What’s that got to do with furring strips that can be used in structural drywall applications? We are getting too far from the original point.

      You agree drywall is structural and that’s all that matters to this discussion.

      And yes, if the furring strips and drywall are detailed in the plan, they are structural components since it has to be built as designed.

      Just because they can also be used in non-structural uses doesn’t negate their structural use dude.

        Dry wall is not fucking structural. Jesus. Doesn’t even have the integrity to compress too thick of insulation without pulling through the screws.

            Yes, it provided load support but it’s not providing structural load support……

            To be extremely clear, your own, provided definition, is not talking about structural components.

            Yes, on an interior, non-structural wall drywall can stiffen the structure. No, that does not mean the drywall is structural.

              You’ve never heard of a drywall shear wall…?

              God, why is so hard for people to accept drywall is structural lmfao. It’s not stiffening it, read the provided link it explains it quite well multiple times with extra resources for you to follow up if you choose.

              Every component we have talked about can be used structurally, I’m sorry you just apparently haven’t encountered one of the over 1500 different wall assemblies that use them…?

                Well, you’ve changed the goalposts from drywall on furring strips to a shear wall.

                  Uhhh what…? I was explaining how everything is structural while you kept moving the goalposts away from furring strips being able to be used structurally. Yeah I picked a not so great example, but they are still fucking structural components lmfao.

                  Give your head a shake.

                    Most places that we’re going to talk about have an electrical code as part of the building code. Is electrical wiring structural?

            I just realized that you’re confusing gypsum board with drywall. While they are similar, gypsum board can be used for the loads you’re describing.

            Drywall, however, cannot.

              Uhh… what…? They are the exact same product. You’re gonna have to provide a link for this one lmfao.

              Are you seriously just going to throw shit at the wall and move every goalpost to try and save face now? Jesus fucking Christ lmfao.

              Due to its inherent fire resistance, gypsum board, commonly known as drywall is the premier building material for wall, ceiling, and partition syst…
