Book Description
Buildings clad with multiple facade components perform well when they are properly designed and constructed. When water leakage does occur, typically it happens at the interface of the different components. The authors have performed numerous field investigations regarding water leakage of buildings and will discuss, through case studies, reasons for the leakage at the interface and examine how it could have been avoided. Additionally, design principles will be discussed regarding better water resistance performance of these interfaces. Problems with water leakage can be avoided if designers, manufacturers and installers perform a thorough study of each material and it's interface with adjacent materials. Through the cooperation of these parties in the development of a complete understanding of each component and its interface with the other components, proper design and detailing, pre-construction meetings with all parties, pre-construction mock-up testing, on-site field observation, and quality control testing, water tight buildings can be erected.

Facade Construction Manual
Author: Thomas Herzog
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 303461456X
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Facades - they are the first feature of a building to be noticed, they determine its distinctive appearance and are often the subject of controversial debate. This new first edition of the Facade Construction Manual provides a systematic survey of contemporary expertise in the application of new materials and energy- efficient technologies in facade design, and represents an invaluable addition to our series of Construction Manuals. It surveys the facade design requirements made by various types of buildings, as well as the most important materials, from natural stone through to synthetics, and documents a diversity of construction forms for a wide range of building types. Over 100 international case-studies in large-scale, detailed drawings are presented in the comprehensive project section.
