Curtain walling - Determination of the strength of sheared connections - Test method and requirements; German version EN 16758:2016
Vorhangfassaden - Bestimmung der Beanspruchbarkeit von auf Abscheren beanspruchten Verbindungen - Prüfverfahren und Anforderungen; Deutsche Fassung EN 16758:2016
Overview
This European Standard specifies test methods for the determination of bearing capacity (ultimate limit state and serviceability limit state), of connections between curtain walling framing members for which it cannot be calculated in accordance with current codes or conventional calculations based upon the strength of the materials. Mechanical performances of the curtain walling connections are already assessed in accordance with the provisions described in EN 13830. Additional information with respect to mechanical performance of the connections and direct applications can be determined with this standard. The responsible committee for this standard is NA 005-09-01 AA "Türen, Tore, Fenster, Abschlüsse, Baubeschläge und Vorhangfassaden (SpA zu CEN/TC 33 und ISO/TC 162)" ("Doors, windows, shutters, building hardware and curtain walling (Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 33 and ISO/TC 162)") at DIN Standards Committee Building and Civil Engineering (NaBau).
