Book Description
This "Methods of Test" publication AAMA 501-94 is a revision of the previous publication, "Methods of Test for Metal Curtain Walls," AAMA 501-83. It is AAMA's intent to present in this one publication current methods of testing curtain walls, store front, sloped glazing, windows, and sliding glass doors. The test methods covered in this manual are used to check the structural adequacy of wall systems and their ability to resist water penetration and air leakage. The methods of laboratory testing of air leakage, water penetration and structural performance under static air pressure difference, as well as the method of field testing for air leakage and water penetration under static air pressure difference, are the methods prescribed the the American Society for Testing and Materials, ASTM. The laboratory test for water penetration under dynamic air pressure and the field check for water leakage using a hose and nozzle are methods prescribed by AAMA. Only those portions of ASTM standards relating to scope and purpose, requirements for test speciments, information from specifiers and test reports are reproduced herein.

State-of-the-art of Structural Test Methods for Walls, Floors, Roofs, and Complete Buildings
Author: C. W. C. Yancey
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Buildings
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
Based on information obtained from a review of the literature and from liaison with committees concerned with the development and revision of voluntary standards, it was found that there is a dearth of research information contributing directly to the development of test methods. Most of the research conducted on building components has been carried out either to observe the behavior of a sample of a particular type of construction or to evaluate the performance of a specimen against some performance requirements. However, helpful inferences can be made on the basis of some of the documentation, especially that contained in reports of full-scale tests on housing. An up-to-date status report of voluntary test standards activities (in the U.S.) was prepared through verbal and written communication with members of the technical subcommittees of ASTM Committee E-6 on Performance of Building Construction.

Large-Scale and Full-Scale Methods for Examining Wind Effects on Buildings
Author: Gregory A. Kopp
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2889455106
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 143
Book Description
Global economic losses due to severe weather events have grown dramatically over the past two decades. A large proportion of these losses are due to severe wind storms such as tropical cyclones and tornadoes, which can cause destruction to buildings, houses, and other infrastructure over large areas. To address the growing losses, many new large-scale and full-scale laboratories have been developed. These tools are used to examine the issues that could not be solved with the traditional tools of wind engineering including model-scale boundary layer wind tunnels, simplified standardized product tests, and other methods of analysis. This book presents state-of-the-art results from the development of the many novel approaches being used to mitigate natural disasters around the world.
