FACADE STRUCTURE

The structure that supports the aluminum cladding of the facade is supported on the external edges by a steel rail system composed of: Steel anchors directly inserted into the primary concrete structure. Steel profiles / guides connected to steel anchors. Steel rails held by steel guides. And on the internal edges, by the aluminum frame of the window, which is connected to two steel brackets, which are connected to the main structure.

This diagram shows the absorption and distribution of the wind force towards the main structure of the building. The horizontal force distribution applied to the aluminium cladding is partially distributed through the steel railing system and through the window frame to the main concrete structure.
