Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a systematic approach for the evaluation and selection of curtain wall systems for medium-high rise building construction. Design/methodology/approach – The authors have identified the different types of curtain wall systems that are commonly used in the building construction industry in Saudi Arabia; examined the various performance as well as financial and non-financial criteria affecting the evaluation and selection of these systems; and subjected the identified different types of curtain wall systems to several filtering processes, namely feasibility ranking, evaluation by comparison and weighted evaluation to facilitate making a decision on the most suitable system to select. Findings – The analysis of the collected data indicated that the precast concrete curtain wall system is considered to be the first choice. The second choice is the prefabricated brick panel curtain wall system. Originality/value – Curtain walls are the most recognized elements of contemporary structures today. There exists ample variety of materials and designs that could be utilized for the development of these building elements. This paper is of practical value to project owners, architects and design professionals endeavoring on the process of selecting and specifying curtain wall systems in their projects.

In this paper, the object-oriented method is used to study the pre-processing system of 3D high-rise building steel structure CAD. For the high-rise building steel structure design optimization system, users mainly contact with the functions of modeling, analysis, design checking and drawing. In fact, all these functions are carried out around the data stored behind. Three-dimensional high-rise building steel structure CAD pre-processing subsystem mainly integrates three-dimensional entity construction module, node design and editing module, construction drawing, processing drawing and CNC data output module. In this paper, the wall element is used to simulate the shear wall element, and the wall element can be automatically refined into a shell element composed of quadrilateral membrane element with rotational degree of freedom and generalized conforming bending plate element for thick and thin plate, which improves the speed and accuracy of analysis and calculation of shear wall. Various loads of high-rise building are calculated, especially the wind load of space action. It provides a new idea for wind load calculation of high-rise buildings. It is better to put forward a practical system optimization model, which can deal with the objective function, variables and constraints in a large number of engineering processing, and consider the actual constraints as fully as possible, which has strong practicability.
