AI Technical Summary
In large-span, irregularly shaped buildings, traditional existing technologies are difficult to use for simple connection techniques, especially when the exterior is constructed with steel structures to form irregular curved surfaces, making it difficult to connect the glass curtain wall to the steel structure, resulting in installation difficulties.
By using BIM-based 3D modeling and virtual assembly, the outer contour steel structure is divided into multiple unit planes. Target plates are installed and their positions are determined to guide the production and installation of curtain wall accessories. The position and angle of the curtain wall glass are adjusted using reference bases and glass assemblies, and then installed in conjunction with the keel frame.
It enables precise positioning and installation of irregularly shaped curved glass curtain walls, reduces on-site adjustment workload, saves construction time and costs, and extends the service life of buildings.
