Although building envelope systems such as brick veneer walls, precast concrete cladding panels, and glass curtain walls or windows are normally considered architectural components or nonstructural components, it does not mean they will not have structural behavior. In fact, these components are subjected to gravity loads, wind loads and seismic loads/displacements, and are the most vulnerable systems to damage under extreme events.
The presentation will provide a better understanding of the failure modes and drift or load resisting capacities needed for designing such systems for structural function and performance, while offering some guidelines for improvement of some systems based on what the testing programs have shown.
