Wind load anchors, on the other hand, allow movement, resisting wind forces without bearing the weight of the system. Both types of anchors work together to manage the structural load while accommodating building movements. Choosing the correct anchor type is essential for ensuring that the system functions correctly under both static and dynamic conditions. 🟢 To learn more about building movements, take the course for free: https://lnkd.in/dpcy2Am8 #LearnGlazing #Education #CurtainWall #GlazingSystems #WindLoadAnchors #DeadLoadAnchors #GlassIndustry

Our "𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 & 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁" course dives into how glazing systems manage the four types of building movement: live load, thermal, wind load, and seismic. 🔥 🌬️ The course explores how these forces impact system design and what engineers must consider to ensure structural integrity. Participants will gain valuable insights into how different types of anchors, splices, and glazing system components are used to accommodate movement, ensuring long-term stability in various building conditions. #LearnGlazing #GlazingSystems #BuildingMovement #SeismicDesign #GlassIndustry #CurtainWall

𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗙𝗬𝗜𝗡𝗚 & 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗖𝗨𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗖𝗪 𝗦𝗬𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗠 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗦 / 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡 𝗜𝗦𝗦𝗨𝗘𝗦 In this image, the customer wanted a splice in a specific location on their 30 foot tall openings. This opening is a free span with no intermediate anchor point. Unfortunately, the splice location the customer wanted was in the worst spot structurally, required a ton of fasteners, and a custom splice sleeve to make it work. This could have been avoided by letting the PE choose a more suitable spot with less bending forces, or ordering custom length mullions to avoid a splice altogether. Let’s start a discussion! If you’ve run into a design issue, drop a comment below explaining. 👉 Check out the "Intro To Multi Span CW" course, here: https://lnkd.in/gTMt3Z3B Image is of a Tubelite CW system. #learnglazing #glass #education #glassindustry #designissues #curtainwall

Breakfast and Bullets: The Recap. For those that missed out, USBP hosted the first-ever security glazing demonstration in #Dallas at #GlassBuild. The event brought together glaziers, architects and end users to show how fully rated #ballistic #systems provide full #protection for #people and #property. Included in the demonstration were fully rated systems (comprised of rated frames & glazing) designed to UL 752 ballistic protection levels 1, 3, and 5 with some additional samples with security film. It was a very busy morning with 3 full groups enjoying an educational session, a live glazing demonstration and a hearty, Texas-inspired breakfast. The positive feedback was overwhelming and we would like to thank everyone who were part of this special event. A special thank you to Tyler E. Hall, Baines Group, Inc., Greg Towndrow, LTS, LearnGlazing.com, National Glass Association (NGA) and TEXAS GLASS ASSOCIATION for their full support and assistance.
