Overview

[...]the failure of the connections can be caused by a too rigid connection of the panels to the main structure, modifying the static scheme and leading to situations during the seismic action different from those planned during the design phase (Bournas, 2014). [...]we focused on a different approach, by examining a second category of solutions in which we tried to make the elements independent from the structural frame (Fig. 1). First calculation checks have been carried out to size the profiles and to assess the technological feasibility of the proposed solution. The study has been carried out by imagining solutions with different materials; actually, it shows that the problem can be overcome easily by marking the joints of the elements that constitute the covering to make the vertical joint indistinguishable between the different panels (Fig. 5-7). [...]we have verified that it is possible to guarantee the realization of the necessary openings, entrance portals and load points, in according with the flexibility of the cladding required by the studied system.
