Curtain Wall Design Against Story Drift
A curtain wall system must be designed for multiple performance functions including aesthetic, thermal insulation, sound insulation, water tightness, tolerance for inter-floor deflection, and structural safety against various loads including thermal, wind, and seismic. The recent trend in the building frame design against seismic force calls for a much larger amount of story drift. This trend causes extreme difficulty for maintaining the various curtain wall functions in the conventional curtain wall design approaches. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the cause and effect of seismic force on the curtain wall performances leading to a new set of design principles and approaches.
