example

[0078] Components of the first and second inventions were fabricated to test various physical properties. Each assembly includes an insert structurally mounted to a support, specifically to an anodized aluminum frame, and is configured as a quadrilateral glazing system. The structural adhesive contains silicone and has a 15 / 16 inch (approximately 0.8 cm) bite, more specifically as above for Figure 8 Same dimensions and orientation as described.

[0079] Structural adhesives are commercially available from Dow Corning and exceed ETAG002- "Guideline for European Technical Approval for Structural Sealant Glazing Systems (SSGS)" and ASTM C1184- Minimum requirements of the "Standard Specification for Structural Silicone Sealants". Structural adhesives have properties measured according to ASTM C1135 - "Standard Test Method for Determining Tensile Adhesion Properties of Structural Sealants". These properties were measured in triplicate and are detailed in Table I below.

Abstract

An assembly for a structure comprises a support and a panel. The panel may be a glass panel. The assembly further comprises a structural adhesive, which couples the panel to the support. The structural adhesive may comprise a silicone. The structural adhesive has a first coupling surface facing the support and a second coupling surface spaced from the first coupling surface and facing the interior surface of the panel. The structural adhesive has a substantially right-trapezoidal cross- section, which is oriented in a certain direction relative to the panel and the support. The first coupling surface is sloped relative to the second coupling surface of the structural adhesive thereby reducing stress in the assembly due to environmental load subjected on the structure, such as wind load. Other supports and assemblies are also provided. The assembly may be used to form curtain walls, window walls, skylights, etc.

Description

[0001] Cross references to related patent applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 436,521, filed January 26, 2011, which is hereby incorporated in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to assemblies for structures subject to environmental loads that induce stresses in the assemblies; more particularly, the present invention relates to assemblies comprising supports, inserts, and structural adhesives, the A structural adhesive having a specific cross-sectional shape is disposed between the support and the insert. Background technique [0004] A curtain wall (or glazing system) is the exterior covering of a building and consists of multiple components (or units). Each component of a curtain wall has an insert or "filler" positioned within and / or over an internal support made up of various framing members including mullions, top frames and bottom frames . When using ...
