Detailing the miscellaneous steel required to support today’s different types of facades is challenging.  This presentation will help guide the practicing structural engineer to provide details in his/her Contract Documents that will be constructable, perform well over time, and be coordinated with the architectural details. 

 

We will specifically look at:

·         Creating details that provide adequate field tolerances

·         Ensuring there is proper resistance to rotation in these details

·         Address deflection criteria for different system

·         Proper jointing in our details to allow thermal movement changes

 

Those in attendance should obtain a better comprehension of how to detail façade support steel for multi-story buildings, and to be sure the primary structure is properly sized to carry the additional façade loads.
