TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus is provided for assembling a curtain wall, which is anchored at one end to a floor and at an opposite end to the primary structure in a sliding relation to allow relative vertical flexibility in case of severe vertical deflection due to loading.
Abstract: Apparatus is provided for assembling a curtain wall, which is anchored at one end to a floor and at an opposite end to a primary structure in a sliding relation thereto in order to allow relative vertical flexibility in case of severe vertical deflection due to loading. This sliding relation permits the building sections to move under wind, live load, dead load or seismic forces with a minimum of damage transferred to the curtain wall. The apparatus is a bracket with a first plate for mounting to the primary structure and a second plate for mounting in sliding relation to the wall studs. The second plate is formed with slots which are vertically oriented, and a fastener with a spacer are fastened through each slot.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a curtain wall with suspended glassed panels, which are placed onto the frame of the curtain wall suspended only by the horizontal beams of the frame on the wall and along their whole length (1.1; 1.2).
Abstract: The curtain walls with suspended glassed panels consist of prefabricated elements of glass and glassed panels, which are placed onto the frame of the curtain wall suspended only by the horizontal beams of the frame on the curtain wall and along their whole length (1.1; 1.2). In each floor of curtain wall there are two horizontal beams parallel to each other and continuous along the length of the structural facade of the floor and corresponding one along the height of the base of the window (1.1; 6.2) of the floor and the other to the height of the top of the windows (1.2; 5.2), and are supported, the first on the ends of cantilevers, which are anchored onto the floor slab of the floor directed upwards (6.1), and the second at the ends of cantilevers which are anchored to the roof slab of the floor directed downwards (5.1). In the case of continuity of the curtain wall the cantilevers upwards and downwards are unified and take the shape of a bilaterally protruding beam (1.3; 2.3) relative to the floor slab of the floor, whereas in the case of unified glass panels along the height of the floor, the support of the horizontal beams is directly fastened at the roof and floor slabs of the floor. Between the two horizontal beams of the floor no vertical beams exist and the windows are suspended in the free space of the floor via hooks located one on the profile of the upper beam of the floor (1.2; 2.2; 5.2; 5.3) and the other on the profile of the upper side of the frames of the windows (5.4). The aluminium profiles with which the glassed panels are constructed bear special incisions (5.6; 6.5; 7.1; 8.1) suitable for the support of blades made of a special aluminium alloy compatible with the adherence requirements of the sealing materials with which the glasses of the glassed panels are retained.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the thermal performance of several different configurations of bolts and glazings and concluded that stainless steel bolts minimally affect curtain wall thermal performance when spaced at least 230 mm apart, which is the industry standard.
Abstract: Curtain walls are assemblies of glazings and metal frames that commonly form the exterior glass facades of commercial buildings. Evaluating the thermal performance of the bolts that hold curtain wall glazings in place is necessary to accurately rate the overall thermal performance of curtain walls. Using laboratory tests and computer simulations, the authors assessed the thermal performance of several different configurations of bolts and glazings. Curtain-wall samples were tested at an infrared thermography laboratory. Experimental results were compared to two-dimensional simulations approximating the thermal effect of the bolts using the parallel path and the isothermal planes calculation methods. It is concluded that stainless steel bolts minimally affect curtain-wall thermal performance ({approximately}18%) when spaced at least 230 mm apart, which is the industry standard. Performance is increasingly compromised when there is less than 230 mm between bolts or when steel bolts are used. The authors also show that the isothermal planes method of approximating curtain wall thermal performance can be used with two-dimensional heat transfer software typical of that used in the window industry to give conservative results for the thermal bridging effect caused by bolts.

TL;DR: In this paper, a High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) curtain wall was installed along the river boundary, tying into an existing sheet pile wall on both ends.
Abstract: The plans for eliminating the off-site migration of non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) from a refinery into a nearby river included the installation of a High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) curtain wall and an underdrain system. A 640 m (2100 lineal feet) HDPE Curtain Wall was installed along the river boundary, tying into an existing sheet pile wall on both ends. The wall varied from approximately 4.5 m (15 feet) deep at the northern end to about 7 m (23 feet) deep at the southern end, running approximately 3 to 3.6 m (10 to 12 feet) inland of an existing wooden bulkhead. The curtain wall was successfully installed through a slurry supported trench. A 930 m (3050 lineal feet) interception/collection trench was installed parallel to the HDPE Curtain Wall, continuing on beyond the curtain wall on the southern end. The depth of the trench varied from approximately 3 to 4 m (10 to 13 feet) deep. A 20.32 cm (8 inch) diameter perforated HDPE header pipe was placed in the trench to convey groundwater and product to two sumps. The trench is 53.34 cm (21 inches) wide and contained aggregate to approximately 0.9 m (3 feet) below ground. This work was accomplishedmore » using the bio-polymer slurry drainage trench (BP Drain) technique. This paper briefly describes the construction methods utilized during this project, specifically HDPE curtain wall installation thru a bentonite slurry and tie-in to the existing sheet pile wall.« less
