Author: R G OGDEN | Size: 5.1 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: SCI | Year: 1992 | pages: 77 | ISBN: 1870004787
The correct design of connections between cladding panels and steel frames is of critical importance to the performance of the cladding and to the building programme. Since cladding is a critical path operation, cladding connections have to be developed such that they not only have sound structural and physical properties, but also permit efficient and rapid erection. A characteristic of many of the most successful cladding systems is that much preparatory work (lining and levelling etc.) is done in advance of the erection operation, and therefore off the critical path. Section 1 of this publication details the advantages of such practice and Section 2 appraises six generic cladding systems in relation to the optimised practices set out in Section 1.
