STUDIES ON INTEGRATED FACADE ENGINEERING

—Structural performance of integrated facades—

Abstract

The building facade plays important role for not only creating urban landscape design, but also affecting the.. environmental impact through energy consumption. Also such perimeter zones are effective area for providing seismic resisting elements in structural design. For satisfying all of these demands, the authors proposed the concept of integrated facade engineering, which treats architectural design, structural and environmental design combined together. Following the previous papers, other detailed examples of Integrated Facade are proposed in this paper, and their structural performance is evaluated through mock-up experiments.
