How is the wind resistance of glass curtain wall?
2024-06-19 Back
The wind resistance of curtain wall glass depends on the specific situation. Generally speaking, aluminum alloy doors and windows combined with high-strength glass can improve the wind resistance of curtain wall.
1. Reasons and hazards of curtain wall glass being affected by wind
As one of the important materials for building facades, curtain wall glass has excellent light transmittance, fire resistance and decorative effects, and is widely used in high-rise buildings. However, due to the large area and heavy weight of curtain wall glass, it is easily affected by wind force, which may cause safety problems such as glass breakage and falling off, causing serious harm to people and property.
2. Evaluation method of wind resistance of curtain wall glass
In order to ensure the safety of curtain wall glass, it is necessary to evaluate the wind resistance of curtain wall glass. At present, the commonly used evaluation methods are as follows:
1. According to the wind pressure level and glass type in the area where the building is located, the calculation method in the specification is used to calculate the wind resistance of curtain wall glass.
2. Conduct wind tunnel tests to measure the bearing capacity of curtain wall glass at different wind speeds.
3. Conduct on-site tests to detect the wind resistance of curtain wall glass from aspects such as glass breakage, falling off, and bending.
