This LinkedIn article describes the modeling of a high-rise building with a curved shape, taking into account wind loads from a wind simulation. The support is modeled using the constrained modulus ...

Two types of thermal load are considered: (1) a constant thermal load is applied to increase the joint temperature in discrete steps; (2) following from the assumptions made in section “Thermal ...

In unitized curtain wall design, split mullions—composed of interlocking "male" and "female" aluminum extrusions—are the industry standard for facilitating rapid site installation and accommodating ...
