Performance-Based Concept for Design of Structural Silicone Joints in Façades Exposed to Earthquake

Façade failure due to seismic event represents a potential hazard to people and can cause serious damages to buildings with consequent high-cost remedial works. As a result, interest in the design of buildings and façades to resist seismic loads and displacements has increased. Current standards and...

description Façade failure due to seismic event represents a potential hazard to people and can cause serious damages to buildings with consequent high-cost remedial works. As a result, interest in the design of buildings and façades to resist seismic loads and displacements has increased. Current standards and literature recognize the benefits offered by Structural Sealant Glazing (SSG) systems to enhance the performance of unitized curtain walls exposed to earthquake but no precise criteria are available for the seismic design of the structural silicone joints.
