CURTAIN WALLS TESTING MINUTES All curtain walls AL 60 have been tested by the French recognized laboratory CEBTP (Experimental Center of Research and Studies for Building and Civil Engineering). The minutes issued by CEBTP are concerning the following tests: 単単単単

Air permeability Waterproofness Wind resistance Shock resistance

Tests have been also performed on the opening frames (up hung) Testing lists are included in the end of each curtain wall system. TERMAL INSULATION All curtain wall systems AL 60 have been careffully designed to be thermal break. Thermal insulation is achieved through EPDM joints and gaskets which are installed on both the inner and the outer sides of the glazing and the aluminium sections, thus forming a protective bridge which eliminates the penetration of the weather elements.

2. WATER PROOFNESS Testing was performed by using a spraying ramp equipped of pipes with conical jet situated 40 cm apart from each other operating with nomimal water flow of 2 litres/min m2. The ramp is placed 10 cm away from the facade and is allowed to spray under the top transom of the mock - up. The jet sprays the mock - up to the whole height. The total flow of the ramp is 840 litres/h.

The arch of one three - hundredths (1/300) is achieved under a pressure of 1950 Pa and a distance of 2,53 m between the support and the mullion. 4. IMPACT RESISTANCE The facade was submited in testing impact of soft body safety realized with a 50 kg sack filled with hard glass marbles. The sack falls through pendulum motion without inital velocity from a height corresponding to the energy of searched impact. When the sack is motionless it is tangential to impact. When the sack is motionless it is tangential to impact point. The difference in height of the fall is counted from this point. Testing results were as following: Elements Energy a) In the cross section of mullion with transom 900 J b) In the middle of the intermediate upper transom 900 J c) In the center of the glazing 600 J

4. IMPACT TESTING OF SOFT BODY TESTING DESCRIPTION Dynamic testing is realized by using a sack filled with 50 kg of hard glass marbles. This sack falls through pendulum motion without initial velocity, from a height of 1,20 m and strikes perpendicularly to his level, the center of the glass panel with an energy of 600 Jules. The same testing is then realized from a height fall of 1,80 m and strikes in the middle of the horizontal mullion with an energy of 900 Jules. RESULTS - IN THE GLASS PANEL: - IN THE HORIZONTAL MULLION:
