APPARATUS FOR EXHIBITING SEISMIC PERFORMANCE OF EXTERIOR WALL PANEL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for exhibiting seismic performance of exterior wall panels which can comprehensively grasp seismic performance of whole exterior walls to impress merits onto a viewer.;SOLUTION: The apparatus 1 for exhibiting seismic performance of exterior wall panels is provided with an apparatus main body 2 with an upper beam 22 movable back and forth in a longitudinal direction, fixing plates 3 and 4 to be respectively fixed on a lower beam 21 and the upper beam 22, and an external wall panel 5 fixed on the fixing plates 3 and 4 with fixing brackets 50. The lower beam 21 and the upper beam 22 of the apparatus main body 2 are continuously shifted, and the movements of the exterior panel 5 following up the shift is exhibited. One of the exterior wall panels 5 is composed of a tempered glass panel 6, and a joint material 7 is applied to the joint clearance between the tempered glass panel 6 and the exterior panel 5. The expansion and contraction of the joint material 7 following up the movements of the exterior wall panel 5 by the shift of beams, and the follow-up movements of the fixing brackets 50 with the tempered glass panel 6 can be visually recognized.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
