Façade Attachments to Steel Frames Seminar - 0.4 CEUs / 4.0 PDHs
How many times have you had to solve tolerance and connection problems between the structure and façade system long after you thought your work on the project was done? Façade attachments can become complicated, and these details have a significant impact on the cost of the project. This seminar will help you avoid problems by making good decisions during the design of the structure.
You will learn how to:
-
Provide for proper support and anchorage of the facade elements.
-
Configure efficient slab edge and spandrel beam details for economical and practical design, fabrication, and erection of steel frames.
-
Account for relative movement due to loads and thermal variations.
-
Account for fire protection and waterproofing requirements.
-
Control moisture migration, air infilration, and sound transmission.
The work done by the structural engineer of record responsible for the design of the steel frame is emphasized, with supporting conceptual information about façade systems. Attachment concepts and performance characteristics are the focus – not just “preferred” details. Guidance is also provided to clarify and help coordinate responsibilities between members of the design team in order to remove façade attachments as an area of conflict and stress. The new AISC Design Guide 22:Façade Attachments to Steel Framed Buildings provides clear explanations of façade system fundamentals, highlights building performance issues that impact attachment design, and includes practical design examples. The objective of the Guide is to assist the practicing engineer in achieving economical slab edge details for steel frames that are structurally sound and durable while being sensitive to the particular façade system’s performance requirements. The Guide provides examples, concepts, and tables to speed designs. The seminar provides an overview of Design Guide 22 and will provide insights into an approach to design of the structural steel frame that will result in an efficient and economical system that not only meets the needs of the structural system but also meets the needs of the façade it will support.
Handouts: Attendees will receive a copy of the Seminar Course Notes and a copy of AISC Design Guide 22:Façade Attachments to Steel-Framed Buildings.
