ABSTRACT:
A two-span wall panel construction includes a plurality of spaced, horizontal structural girts with liner panels secured between each three adjacent girts. Horizontally extending subgirts are attached to the liner panels and exterior panels are secured to the subgirts. The adjacent, vertical liner panels are positioned in slightly spaced relationship at the end girts and the exterior panels are positioned in overlapping and unattached relationship at the end girts. Clips for holding the liner panels are secured to the end girts between the adjacent liner panels. These clips have angular flanges which pinch the adjacent liner panels against the end structural girts. External forces of predetermined magnitude cause the liner panels to deform about the middle girt as the liner panels pivot about and release from the clip flanges while the overlapping exterior panels simultaneously pivot and release at their overlapping end. An explosion release fastener can be employed to attach the liner panel to the middle girt.
