STEEL BUILDI458-NG-EXTERIOR WALL INTERFACE ISSUES

摘要

One of the most time consuming and problematic issues with structural steel buildings is accounting for the various exterior wall systems. This paper will discuss and present practical solutions for interfacing the structural steel frame system with different exterior wall systems. Engineering, serviceability, constructability, and economic considerations will be discussed including recommendations for deflection limits for interfacing with metal stud, precast concrete, and curtain wall systems.
