The point-connected glass curtain wall can also be referred to as the point-type glass curtain wall. The point-connected glass curtain wall is composed of a joint and glass through a transparent connection and a back-cut connection. The glass is an important connecting piece and a force-receiving part.
The single-pole supporting structure is a relatively simple structural form of the point-type glass curtain wall. The column or beam supporting structure made of aluminum alloy profiles, glass ribs or steel bears the load on the glass surface, and the columns or beams are in the state of tension and bending. The load is transmitted to the component by the concentrated load of the point-to-point joint, so the calculation is relatively simple.
The cable-supported glass curtain wall is the latest type. It is a glass curtain wall form that has only become popular in the world in recent years. It has high technical content and is very difficult to design and construct. Its supporting structure is a stainless steel wire cable that is reasonably laid out. A pre-stressed suspension cable structure is formed by applying pre-tension.
truss is a plane truss system composed of structural members according to certain rules. Commonly used are parallel chord truss, parabolic truss, triangular web truss, etc. When the load on the glass acts on the joints, each rod has only an axial force, and the stress distribution on the cross section is uniform, which can give full play to the role of the material. This type of structure is commonly used in larger-span structures.
Point-connected glass curtain wall processing and installation
point-connected glass curtain wall is to connect the connector with the glass through the hole on the glass. It can be connected at 4 points, or at 6 or 8 points. The self-weight of the glass is supported by the joints at the upper two corners. The glass is always hung on the joints. The joints at other parts mainly resist the load of wind pressure changes and the displacement compensation function, which has high requirements for the glass.
