Curtain walling - Determination of the strength of sheared connections - Test method and requirements

This European Standard specifies the test method to determine the bearing capacity connections between framing members of curtain walling for which the bearing capacity cannot be calculated in accordance with current codes or conventional calculations based upon the strength of the materials.

Vorhangfassaden - Bestimmung der Beanspruchbarkeit von auf Abscheren beanspruchten Verbindungen - Prüfverfahren und Anforderungen

Diese Europäische Norm legt Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Tragfähigkeit (Grenzzustand der Tragfähigkeit und Grenzzustand der Gebrauchstauglichkeit) der Verbindungen zwischen den Rahmenprofilen der Vorhangfassade fest, die nicht nach geltenden Codes oder herkömmlichen Berechnungen, die auf der Festigkeit der Werkstoffe basieren, berechnet werden können.
Die mechanischen Leistungen der Verbindungen von Vorhangfassaden werden bereits in Übereinstimmung mit den Festlegungen nach EN 13830 bewertet. Zusätzliche Angaben zur mechanischen Leistung der Verbindungen und zu den direkten Anwendungsbereichen können nach dieser Norm bestimmt werden.

Façades rideaux - Détermination de la résistance des assemblages - Méthode d'essai et exigences

La présente Norme européenne spécifie la méthode d'essai et les exigences pour déterminer la capacité portante des assemblages entre des éléments d'ossature de façades rideaux pour lesquels elle ne peut pas être calculée selon les codes courants ou les calculs classiques basés sur la résistance des matériaux.

Obešene fasade - Ugotavljanje trdnosti strižnih spojev - Preskusna metoda in zahteve

Ta evropski standard določa preskusno metodo za ugotavljanje obremenitvene zmogljivosti spojev med okvirnimi elementi obešene fasade, za katere ni mogoče izračunati obremenitve zmogljivosti v skladu z veljavnim kodeksom ali konvencionalnim izračunom na podlagi trdnosti materialov.

3 European foreword This document (EN 16758:2016) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 33 “Doors, windows, shutters, building hardware and curtain walling”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2016, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2016. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies test methods for the determination of bearing capacity (ultimate limit state and serviceability limit state), of connections between curtain walling framing members for which it cannot be calculated in accordance with current codes or conventional calculations based upon the strength of the materials. Mechanical performances of the curtain walling connections are already assessed in accordance with the provisions described in EN 13830. Additional information with respect to mechanical performance of the connections and direct applications can be determined with this standard. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 13119, Curtain walling - Terminology 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 13119 and the following apply. 3.1 connection set of components designed to transfer loads between framing members (e.g. cleat, screw) 4 Symbols For the purposes of this document, the following symbols apply. Fh,des design horizontal load Fv,des design vertical load Fu5 the characteristic force giving 75 % confidence that 95 % of the test results will be higher than this value s the standard deviation of the series under consideration u partial factor for the connection applicable to rupture ß statistical eccentricity of 5 % with 75 % confidence 5 Method of evaluation 5.1 General Connections are subjected to permanent loads as well as to variable loads. The measurement of the deformation is recorded at the application of the force. The support shall restraint vertical and horizontal movements. 5.2 Samples The samples shall be representative of the connection methods between the framing members of the curtain walling. SIST EN 16758:2016

5 Based on the type of curtain walling (e.g. stick construction, unitized system etc) different types of connection between the framing members should be tested, depending to the design of the connection, Figures from 1 to 3 are examples of typical test configurations, but different configurations may be used. Figures from 4 to 7 are examples of typical test configurations incorporating actual glass supports.
