Seismic Testing and Performance Evaluation of Unitized Curtain Walls
The experimental tests demonstrated that unitized curtain wall facades exhibit strong seismic resilience, with failure occurring only at very high drift ratios.
The experimental tests demonstrated that unitized curtain wall facades exhibit strong seismic resilience, with failure occurring only at very high drift ratios.
The paper discusses the testing protocol involving seismic tests at increasingly intensity levels, and air permeability, water resistance and wind resistance tests at the lower intensities.
This paper presents the initial results of a seismic study of silicone bonded glass curtain wall systems, combining both finite element
Outlining the functional-material characteristics of nonstructural components with seismic mitigation technologies to be implemented in a curtain wall stick system, a specific
The experimental tests demonstrated that unitized curtain wall facades exhibit strong seismic resilience, with failure occurring only at very high drift ratios.
In this study, to address the above problems, a dynamic seismic performance test was conducted by applying a fastener for the
For projects in seismic-prone areas such as the West Coast or parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest, engineers must ensure curtain wall systems
With a focus on unitized curtain walls, this paper provides insights into the influence of design variables on façade seismic response by means of an extensive
In this study, to address the above problems, a dynamic seismic performance test was conducted by applying a fastener for the seismic displacement of a curtain wall that
It is applicable for both non-seismic curtain walls and seismic curtain walls designed to resist earthquake forces. The test setup involves subjecting the curtain wall specimen to
For projects in seismic-prone areas such as the West Coast or parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest, engineers must ensure curtain wall systems are compliant with seismic codes and
The seismic performance of curtain walls (CWs) in MiC is closely linked to their functional integrity and occupant safety during seismic events. This paper presents a series of quasi-static cyclic
