Foot - facade
Example for anchoring on base plate Comments on executing the inner gasket level: 1. The controlled drainage of rebate areas is only ensured if the gasket areas overlap in such a manner that no moisture can penetrate under the gaskets or foils. Run foil as moisture barrier until it lies under the cross-beam gasket and then bond with steel construction. In accordance with DIN 18195 Part 5, the waterproofing must be at least 150 mm above the water-conducting layer. Bond foil with building moisture barrier in accordance with DIN 18195. The rebate area is ventilated via the open ends of the vertical cover strips. The illustrated flush-mounted execution of the beam with the floor is not mandatory. Ensure vapour-tight execution of the connection. The anchoring of the posts must be adequately dimensioned through static calculation. The required edge clearances of the base plates and in the structural elements must be observed. Heat insulation in the connection area must be carried out in such a manner that thermal bridges are avoided. Steel parts in the hidden installed area must also be treated with adequate corrosion protection. Weather protection sheets must be formed in line with the structural requirements. Adequate rear ventilation must be ensured.

Connection in front of the floor structure
Continuous or separated posts

Timber Glass Facades 40.03.02 Page 2

Depending on the structural requirements, posts are either formed continuously as multiple span girders or they are separated floor-by-floor. Reasons for floor-by-floor post separation can vary widely, e.g. soundproofing, structural expansion, fire protection, etc. If the separation joint is used for expansion compensation, then, in addition to the degrees of freedom required for the posts, the slide possibilities of the installed elements must be taken into consideration.

The multiple girder principle comes into effect for continuous supports and corresponding supports from a static perspective. There is less deflexion through influences. As a result, the required inertia torque is reduced, for instance, by a factor of 0.42 when using a 2span girder. A stress analysis is, however, always required.

Depending on the post formation, implementation with or without a rain gutter and the selection between steppededge glazing or closing ceiling strip, result in different implementation variants. Irrespective of the variant used, ensure consistent drainage of condensation and moisture on the eave. Our thermal calculations show a somewhat less favourable isotherm shift with stepped-edge glazing compared cov-

ered glass edges. In addition, ensure that a UV-resistant glass edge composite is selected for stepped-edge glazing. These composite edge systems are usually silicone based and, due to their limited impermeability to gas, do not attain the same high soundproofing and heat insulation values as traditional systems. Stepped-edge glazing must also be structurally dimensioned against wind suction in accordance with its reduced fixing. Additional thermal stress on stepped-edge glazing should be countered by using single-pane safety glass.

Connection to the roof

When connecting to structural elements, movements that may occur should be taken into consideration. In addition to temperature-induced linear expansion of the facade, all linear expansion and movement of the tangential structure must also be taken into account. Addition stress must be prevented.

Connecting foils The connection of glazing to the structural element requires carefully thought-out construction in many regards. Moisture damage also occurs if room moisture condenses on existing thermal bridges. Consequently, thermal bridges should be avoided and warm room air should be prevented from penetrating too far into the construction or structural element. The required vapour barriers, in the form of vapour-tight connection foils, must be brought as far into the room as possible. This prevents condensation from the room air dampening the construction. An additional foil for rain impermeability must be vapour permeable (mandatory). Dry construction can only be guaranteed in the transition zone if this foil has a vapour diffusion resistance factor of maximum 3000 .

Ridge formation

Timber Glass Facades 40.03.02 Page 7

When forming the ridge cap, ensure that the rafter covering strips are pulled under the ridge cap. The cutouts of the cover strip in the sheet covering must be kept narrow. A foil capable of vapour diffusion that is bonded with the upper glass edges prevents water from penetrating.

Ridge connection to wall

Ensure vapour impermeability for ridge connections. If the inner gasket area leaks, warm air with high water retention penetrates into the colder zones and allows moisture to penetrate into the connection construction thus leading to construction damage.
