LOAD EQUALIZING SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR FAÇADE WALL PANELS
Systems, methods, and an apparatus are provided for supporting a wall panel on a floor surface and for providing a desired distribution of a load from the wall panel to the floor surface. For some buildings, the desired distribution is an equal or uniform distribution. A wall panel such as a precast concrete façade wall panel may include multiple supports that contact a floor surface. Each support has a bias member that generates a force that is equivalent to the portion of the overall load that the support transfers to a floor. As a result, bias members in these supports can be adjusted to provide a desired load distribution from a wall panel or other component to the floor surface to account for floor deflection, settling of the building, spanning adjacent columns, etc.
