Multi-Hazard Design of Facades: Important Considerations of Wind and Seismic Interaction with Blast Requirements
This paper provides architects and engineers with an overview of key factors to consider when designing facade envelope components against wind, seismic and blast loads. Examples and situations that may be encountered in the design of curtainwall, storefronts and other façade components are presented along with “lessons-learned” recommendations on how to effectively deal with or avoid design problems. “Typical approaches” for designing envelope components are illustrated and existing government and industry criteria for wind, seismic and blast loads are reviewed and discussed.
