Abstract:
This paper presents a numerical analysis of a steel double-arm connector, according to the authors’ solution, designed for fixation of glass façades. The analysis was carried out in order to obtain a distribution of stresses and displacements, on the basis of which global displacements and maximum stresses were determined. An additional element of the solution was the use of the M8 bolt, as a linking element of the steel walls of both arms. The numerical simulation was performed using the ADINA program, which is based on the finite element method (FEM). The dynamic effect of wind gusts on the glass façade was assumed, taking into account both wind pressure and suction. The adoption of a rectangular element of the glass façade causes an unfavorable load distribution at the connection point. The conducted research allowed to determine displacements and stresses in a steel connector made of S355JR steel. The applicability of the proposed solution for glass façades with a height of up to 100 m has been demonstrated.

Abstract:
Prismatic glass, which was a highly successful building material in the United States between the turn of the century and the 1920s, promised to refract daylight from the façades deep into a building and thus would help to save energy, create healthier working environments, and contribute to the development of a new modern architecture. The Luxfer Prism Companies were the inventors and most prominent producers of this material. The article examines selected examples of the firms' commissions in the U. S. and abroad to show the influence that both a product's real or assumed qualities and the promoting skills of its producers could have on the formal and structural decisions of architects. These projects present the architect less as the dominating force in the design process than as a participant in a complex dialogue among different partners. Luxfer contributed to the contemporary architectural debate by promoting the small-scale pattern of its glass installations as a competing vision of architectural modernity to that of the emerging aesthetic of steel and glass façades. In the early 1930s prismatic glass finally lost the competition with electrical lighting and new structural daylighting devices such as hollow glass blocks.

Abstract:
This study assesses changes since 1980 in the maintenance cost of the façades of the historical 17th to 19th century buildings of the Oslo Quadrature, Norway, due to atmospheric chemical wear, including the influence of air pollution. Bottom up estimations by exposure–response functions for an SO2 dominated situation reported in the literature for 1979 and 1995 were compared with calculations for the present (2002–2014) multi-pollutant situation. The present maintenance cost, relative to the total façade area, due to atmospheric wear and soiling was found to be about 1.6 Euro/m2 per year. The exposure to local air pollution, mainly particulate matter and NOx gases, contributed to 0.6 Euro/m2 (38%), of which the cost due to wear of renderings was about 0.4 Euro/m2 (22%), that due to the cleaning of glass was 0.2 Euro/m2 (11%), and that due to wear of other façade materials was 0.07 Euro/m2 (5%). The maintenance cost due to the atmospheric wear was found to be about 3.5%, and that due to the local air pollution about 1.1% of the total municipal building maintenance costs. The present (2002–2014) maintenance costs, relative to the areas of the specific materials, due to atmospheric wear are probably the highest for painted steel surfaces, about 8–10 Euro/m2, then about 2 Euro/m2 for façade cleaning and the maintenance of rendering, and down to 0.3 Euro/m2 for the maintenance of copper roofs. These costs should be adjusted with the importance of the wear relative to other reasons for the façade maintenance.

Abstract:
the main and most impressive elevations of the building. It also focuses on some issues related to high requirements placed on façade systems in terms of insulation from environmental conditions and comfort of the future users of the building. Due to the fact that there are many materials that can be used for the main structural elements (columns, spandrel beams and ribs) of load-bearing façade structures, the authors of the article attempted to do a multi-criteria comparative analysis of three different materials (safety glass, glulam and rolled steel) of a 6-meter-long reference column. The set of criteria, consisting of twelve elements, was adopted for comparative analysis. A combination of two methods was selected for performing the multi-criteria analysis: a geometric method of spider’s network and a mathematical method of the adjusted index of summation.

Abstract:
In the last 30 years, façade-panels made of steel-reinforced concrete have become less attractive for architects and clients. Due to the metallic reinforcement, the insufficient concrete covers of former design code generations and hence the material-dependent corrosion, many cases of damage occurred. Using technical textiles for a new composite material, Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC), it is possible to produce concrete structures which are not vulnerable to corrosion. The presented ventilated large-sized façade elements and self-supporting sandwich panels exemplify the capability of TRC. In the paper, applied materials are characterized and the production process of tailor-made textile reinforcements as well as the load-bearing behavior of the members is described.

Abstract:
Glass curtain walls are used in modern buildings as envelopes for wide surfaces due to a multitude of aspects. In glass curtain walls, tensile brittle panels are connected - through mechanical or adhesive joints - with steel frameworks or aluminum bracing systems, and due to the interaction of several structural components, the behaviour of the so assembled system is complex to predict, especially under exceptional loading conditions such as explosive events. In the paper, glazing curtain walls are investigated by means of Finite-Element (FE) numerical simulations, under the effect of air blast pressures of variable intensity. Their typical dynamic behaviour and criticalities under high-strain impact loads are first analyzed. By means of extended nonlinear dynamic FE parametric studies, innovative devices are applied to traditional curtain walls, at their support points, in order to improve their expected dynamic response. Two possible solutions, namely consisting of viscoelastic (VE) or elasto-plastic (PL) dampers, are proposed as passive control systems for the mitigation of maximum effects in the façade components deriving from the incoming blast pressures. As shown, although characterized by specific intrinsic mechanical behaviours, either VE or PL dampers can offer beneficial structural effects. In the first case, major advantages for the façade components derive from the additional flexibility and damping capacities of VE devices. In the latter case, PL dampers introduce additional plastic energy dissipation in the traditional curtain wall assembly, hence allowing preventing severe damage in the glazing components. It is thus expected that the current outcomes could represent a valid background for further experimental validation as well as detailed assessment and optimization of the proposed design concept.

Abstract:
In the middle of the cranescape around Potsdamer Platz, one of the most questionable building projects of the reunified Berlin can currently be viewed. If one walks in an easterly direction along Potsdamerstrasse, on the left, just behind the Kammermusiksaal and the Philharmonie, one sees the scaffolding of Helmut Jahn's eleven-storey Sony Centre, which, in its triangular form, extends to the Potsdamer Platz. As can be gathered from the models and computer simulations found in the scarlet infobox on the adjoining Leipziger Platz, the Chicago architect is planning to construct a complex consisting of a forum, the Sony Europa Centre, an office tower and two office blocks. In conjunction with the Centre and the tower as the tallest element, these two office blocks—one pointing east toward Bellevuestrasse and the other pointing west toward the Philharmonie—form a triangle that circumscribes an oval forum. The office blocks, as well as the Centre and the tower, are steel and glass constructions whose rooms at the back will offer a view of the forum from floor to ceiling. The approximately 100-metre high office tower will assume dynamism and elegance by virtue of a glass façade that will extend sideways above and beyond the semicircular building.

Abstract:
2010/2011
Recentemente, la richiesta architettonica sempre più spinta di trasparenza e luminosità ha favorito la diffusione nell’edilizia del vetro come materiale da costruzione. Sebbene si tratti di un materiale ancora poco conosciuto rispetto ad altri materiali convenzionali, il vetro trova, infatti, ampia applicazione nelle realizzazioni strutturali più innovative. Anche se le soluzioni architettoniche proposte trovano ampio consenso, spesso la difficoltà principale consiste nel dimensionare adeguatamente tali elementi e nel preservarne l’integrità da eventuali fenomeni di instabilità. Con riferimento a questo tema, nella presente tesi vengono proposte alcune significative formulazioni analitiche per la verifica di stabilità di elementi in vetro monolitico, stratificato o vetro-camera, con particolare attenzione per il comportamento di travi compresse, travi inflesse, pannelli sottoposti a compressione nel piano o taglio nel piano. Allo stesso tempo, viene studiato il comportamento di facciate in vetro-acciaio sottoposte a carico da esplosione, con riferimento specifico a due tipologie di facciata note come facciate continue a lastre indipendenti, controventate da un sistema di cavi pretesi, e facciate a pannelli, nelle quali le lastre di vetro sono sostenute da un telaio metallico di supporto. Per ciascuna tipologia di facciata, vengono evidenziate le criticità dovute a carichi da esplosione di varia intensità mediante opportuni modelli numerici. Inoltre, viene analizzato l’effetto di eventuali dispositivi in grado di mitigarne le componenti principali assorbendo e/o dissipando parte dell’energia d’ingresso associata all’evento esplosivo.
Recently, due to aesthetic and architectural requirements of transparency and lightness, the use of glass as a structural material showed a strong increase. Although its load carrying behavior is actually not well-known, glass finds large application in modern and innovative buildings. Nevertheless, the main difficulties are related to the proper design of these structural elements and in the preservation of their integrity, avoiding possible buckling phenomena. In this context, this Doctoral Thesis proposes a series of interesting analytical formulations suitable for the buckling verification of monolithic, laminated, insulated structural glass element, with particular attention for the load carrying behavior of beams in compression or in bending, as well as for the buckling response of glass panels subjected to in-plane compression or shear. At the same time, the Thesis focuses also on the dynamic behavior of two different typologies of steel-glass façades subjected to air blast loads, whit particular attention to the analysis of cable-supported façades and conventional curtain walls, in which a metallic frame supports the glass panels. In both the circumstances, accurate numerical simulations are performed to highlight the criticalities of similar structural systems, in presence of high-level or medium / low-level air blast loads. Finally, the structural benefits of possible devices able to mitigate the effects of explosions in the main components of these façades, by partly storing / dissipating the incoming energy, are investigated numerically and analytically.
