Can Engineers Cut Curtain-Wall Failures?

Abstract: The article traces curtain-wall failures to the fact that their design is not properly coordinated with the building structure. The role of engineers in the design and construction of such walls is discussed, as well as its economics. The functions of the curtain wall are discussed: environmental, aesthetic, and structural. The selection and installation of sealants, and structural failures of curtain wall components, such as the loss of ability to support or transfer loads is also discussed. It is pointed out that too many decisions are left to the masonry contractors, and that there should be more coordination with the engineers. It is also noted that it would be more economical to integrate the skin into the structural design.

Dynamic In-Plane Racking Tests of Curtain Wall Glass Components

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the seismic performance of 'architectural.' or 'non-structural' building elements such as glass elements in curtain wall systems. A pilot study was undertaken to investigate the dynamic racking performance of a 4.56 × 3.68 m section of curtain wall containing three, 1.52 × 1.84 m glass panels. Dynamic racking tests were performed totally in plane. Various types of glass specimens were tested, including annealed, heat strengthened and fully tempered glasses in monolithic and laminated configurations.

The high building color plate curtain wall is characterized in that the concave grooves of the vertical material and the transverse material are filled with heat breaking adhesive strips and the front surfaces of the outer sides of the vertical material and the transverse material are glued with two sealing adhesive strips. The glass is fixed through the compression of a connecting fastening component 10 or a bonding agent being bonded with a profile frame 16 together. The high building color plate curtain wall ensure the strength of the curtain wall, the stiffness of the curtain wall, the gas tightness of the curtain wall, the water tightness of the curtain wall and the ability of resisting the wind pressure of the curtain wall.

Air introducing system for equal pressure construction method

Abstract: PURPOSE:To actually prevent inflow of rain water to vertical joint between wall component members at a heavy rain under a storing wind by emdedding a cylindrical air introducing member having openings on the upper end part and the lower part, on the upper part of a curtain wall. CONSTITUTION:A square cylindrical air introducing member 2 is emdedded and fitted on the upper squatre part of a curtain wall component member 1 of which the whole joint is perfectly closed with a rain barrier. In this case, the air introducing member 2 is provided so that the opening 3 is projectingly penetrated through a sash in horizontal joint on the upper side of the curtain wall component member 1, and the lower openings on the vertical; joint. Hereby, althrough a strong wind and rain is blown against the outer face of the component member and rain water is entered into the horizontal joint, the water is passed from the upper opening 3 of the air introducing member 2 to the lower opening 4, brought down in the vertical joint separated with the barrier, and hence invasion of rain water into the building a actually perfectly prevented.
