DISSIPATIVE BRACKET TO MITIGATE EFFECTS OF EXPLOSIONS ON BUILDING FACADES

摘要

A glazed façade anchoring system to a building including a box with a connection system to the façade and connection to the building slab. The first and second connections enable relative movement between one another, when the façade moves within the gap between the rear surface of the façade and the building slab edge under the high pressure loads due to exceptional events such as explosions. The device includes one or more solid elements with dissipative components acting in compression in the inward building direction and one or more solid elements with dissipative components acting in compression in the outward building direction.
