    4 DESIGN NARRATIVE

    4.1 Load Path

    4.1.1 Vertical Loads

    Vertical loads, due to the weight of the curtain wall unit including all attachments, are transferred equally by the

    vertical mullions on both sides of the CW unit. Each mullion has a bracket that is mated to another brackets that are

    mounted on the floor slab of the base building.

    Fig. 4.1-1 Dead Load Supports

    4.1.2 Lateral Loads

    Lateral load, due to wind load applied perpendicular to the face of the unit, is (1) transferred through the mullions

    and to the brackets that are mounted on the floor slab of the base building (see Fig. 3). Part of the loads (2) are

    transferred directly to the bracket and the other part goes through the sword and finally to the bracket on CW unit

    below.

    4.2 Coupled Mullion

    The Mullions consist of a coupled pair of two distinct aluminum profiles which are so called male and female parts

    (see Figure below). A continuous part of the male profile penetrates a continuous groove part of the female to serve

    as shear connector in coupling them together in resisting bending due to lateral loads.

    Fig. 4.2-1 Couple Mullion Profiles

    (a) Deflection. Given the fact that with the shear connector the pair of mullion work together in bending about the minor-axis, both parts will deflect along the major-axis, at the same rate

    MALE FEMALEδ δ=

    (b) Bending Stiffness. Since both parts have equal deflection, the stiffness of both parts are responsible for the load carrying capacity. Assuming that the longitudinal shear, due to friction of the shear connector contact with the

    female groove, is negligible, the total stiffness, EI of the coupled mullion setup is given as:

    TOTAL MALE FEMALEEI EI EI= +

    (c) Load Sharing. Each part of the mullion setup share a certain amount of the internal moment in proportion to their stiffness:

    (e) Determining the Design Value of Gc.

    The procedure below outlines the determination of the design shear modulus (Gc) of the thermal barrier being

    utilized as a medium for composite action between connected extrusion parts.

    1. A test beam is performed to determine the elasticity constant (c) of the combined profile assembly.

    The elasticity constant is determined as the unit deformation of the assembly under an applied longitudinal shear

    force. This deformation is the combined effect of slippage and shear deformation of the thermal break material.

    The test is performed under different temperature conditions of -20°C, +20°C and +80°C.

    Fcl l

    ∆=∆ ⋅

    where: c = elasticity constant in N/mm2

    = applied force in N

    l = deformation in mm

    l = length of the specimen in mm

    2. Test Results. Please refer to Appendix A for the complete test report.

    +80°C 50.8 N/mm 61.3 N/mm 57 N/mm2 3.0

    Note: 1 In checking the longitudinal shear (shear flow) in the thermal barrier, a factor of safety of 3.0 is considered

    when calculated using a more precise FEM analysis. In cases where equation (28) of AAMA-TIR-A8-04 is used to

    approximate the shear flow, a lower factor of safety is considered since the accuracy of this equation depends on

    the degree of symmetry of the two faces being combined. In the case of the profiles used in the system, the two

    faces are always very far from being symmetrical.

    3. Design value Gc is calculated considering the relationship:

    ( )hGc c b= ⋅ where: Gc = shear modulus of the core in N/mm2 h = height of the thermal break in mm.

    b = total thickness of the thermal break in mm.

    4. Predictions of effective moment of Inertia (I’e) are calculated for a range of Gc based on the shear test results.

    The results are plotted on “predicted effective I” versus “span L” graph.

    � Upper bound @ -20°C Gc = 600.8 N/mm2

    � Lower bound @ +80°C Gc = 384.8 N/mm2

    Using the conservative value from the test, the design value of Gc used in the analysis is when the thermal break is

    softest @ elevated temperature of +80°C:

    4.3 Mullion Structural Systems

    The sword inside the mullion has to transfer the shear reaction force of the CW unit above to the unit below. But

    sometimes an amount of bending moment is transferred between mullions after a certain amount of rotation at the

    ends of the mullion during service condition. Effectively at that stage, the mullion is acting as a continuous beam

    system. Due to the gap between the extrusion dimensions and the sword dimensions a certain slip (free slip angle )

    occurs and therefore the continuous system may only occur after a certain rotation at the beam ends.

    (a) Section (b) Structural System - 1 (c) Structural System - 2

    Fig. 4.3-1 Mullion Structural Systems

    Applying the above theory to optimize the use of the mullion profiles two systems of structural behavior are

    resolved with the following objective:

    � The same male and female profile will be used throughout the entire job, and

    � Only the swords will vary, in length and the grade of material.

    4.3.1 Structural System 1 (): Sword is shorter and used as a shear connector only.

    That is, no contact between the sword and the aluminum extrusion during service conditions, making it incapable of

    transferring moment between mullions above or below. Therefore, the mullions act as simple beams. This is applied

    where there is little load on the mullions.

    4.3.2 Structural System 2 (�≥�): Sword is longer and is utilized to transfer moment.

    That is, there is contact between the sword and the aluminum extrusion during service condition, allowing transfer

    of bending moment between the mullion profiles. Therefore, the system acts as a continuous beam. This system is

    used for cases where system 1 is not sufficient to cater the loads.

    (a) Stage 1 (��): The system is initially behaving as a simple beam.

    That is, no contact between the sword and the aluminum extrusion, making it incapable of transferring moment

    between mullion profiles.

    (b) Stage 2 (��): The system finally behaves as a continuous beam.

    That is, there is contact between the sword and the aluminum extrusion, allowing transfer of bending moment

    between the mullion profiles.

    4.4 Critical Panel Evaluation

    To evaluate the most critical panel two criteria are to be checked, the stress index and the deflection index. The

    indices of each panel type are determined from the variable parameters in calculating the bending moment and

    deflections. The criteria for this evaluation are summarized in the tables below.

    The panel under the most critical circumstances will be the subject of the structural system analysis in the

    succeeding sections of this report.

    4.5 CW In-plane Performance

    The in-plane behavior of the CW structural members is dealt due to the following situations:

    (a) In-plane Wind load. Wind load applied to the protruding surface of the vertical fins produces torsion as well as bending on the weak axis of the mullion profiles.

    This wind load is calculated as per the 1997 UBC code as a parapet wall with pressure coefficient of 1.3 inward and

    outward. See §5.2 on Wind loads.

    Fig. 4.4-1 Wind Load on Fins

    (b) Slab deflection. Due to slab deflection two loading scenarios occur on the system which are addressed in this set of calculation:

    • Where the slab has uneven deflection at the bracket locations of a given CW unit, the bracket that is located on

    the lower point of the deflected slab will become a “dead bracket” which means it is carrying no weight because

    the slab is hanging below. This results to a one-side supported unit wherein the other bracket carries the whole

    weight and causes the CW unit to rotate due to the eccentric application of its weight (dead load). Couple force

    is then produced to counteract the rotation. The couple is a set of horizontal forces acting on the “live bracket”

    and on the sword.

    • At the apex of the deflected slab, “live brackets” occur at the same point for two adjacent CW units. Thus, the

    bracket mounted on the slab shall be designed to cater for this double loading.

    Error! Objects cannot be created from editing field codes.

    A comprehensive summary of the wind load stated above is found on Table 4.4-2.

    The positive values from wind load zone `E´ on parapet walls are considered for the wind Loads on the vertical fins.

    The negative values on parapet walls are not considered because this includes the trapped air at return corners

    which does not happen on the vertical fins.
