High-strength prestressed cables were main bearing parts in single-layer cable mesh point-supported glass curtain wall structures, and it was always unable to take effective fire prevention measures on steel cables due to small sections. That the elastic modulus and yield strength of prestressed cables decreased sharply under fire conditions would threaten safety performance of the whole structure seriously. When glass breakage is considered and not considered, nonlinear finite element complete-process analysis for the single-layer cable mesh point-supported glass curtain wall structure was conducted. Influences of various factors on structure mechanical performance were studied under fire conditions. Through the calculation analysis of different joint constraint models, the ultimate temperature table suitable for different sizes and cable spacing of glass curtain walls was obtained under uniform heating conditions, and proposals for fire-resisting design were given.

The developing trend of large scale curtain wall structure system is monolayer cable net glass curtain wall, so it’s important and necessary to study the corresponding calculation method and mechanical properties under fire conditions. The changing rule of the displacement and the maximum cable force with the temperature was analyzed by making series of numerical calculations, and the principle for determining critical temperature was deeply discussed upon the basis of the numerical simulation results. The critical temperature table considering different spans, grid dimensions and cable diameters is given, and the influence on critical temperature has also been studied when initial prestressed force of vertical cable is relatively small. Some suggestions are proposed finally.

Based on elastic mechanics, this article deduced the theoretical value of the maximum stress and maximum deflection of sheet structure which was applied on point supported glass curtain wall structure, and figure out the stress and deflection values by calculation example. After that by simulating the structure with the finite element software ANSYS we drew the cloud atlas of stress and deflection values which we analyzed and compared with the theoretical values. Finally we can work out the error between the theoretical values and simulate value and analysis it.

The thermal comfort of occupants in the increasing number of modern buildings with glass curtain wall structures is of significant research interest. As the thermal sensitivity of building occupants varies with building features, situational factors, and the human body’s thermal balance, it is necessary to derive the comfort temperature based on field research, which was conducted in this study in a South Korean office building with a glass curtain wall structure. The influence of solar radiation on the indoor thermal environment and thermal comfort obtained by measurements and occupant questionnaires was analyzed using cumulative graphs and a sensitivity analysis. The observed changes in operative temperature over time confirmed that occupant comfort was significantly affected by the radiant temperature. Based on this result, two groups (Group A near the windows and Group B near the interior corridor) were defined for analysis. Owing to the influx of solar radiation, Group A was more sensitive to changes in the thermal environment (0.67/°C) than Group B (0.49/°C), and the derived comfort temperature for each group differed from the set temperature by approximately ±2 °C. Thus, it was confirmed that the solar radiation introduced through a glass curtain wall building has a direct impact on the indoor thermal environment and occupant comfort according to location.

Section-Ⅲ landside curtain wall of Hefei Xinqiao International Airport terminal adopted single layer cable net curtain wall, while others adopted stick-system curtain wall structure. In this paper, the section-Ⅲ overall structure model of Hefei Xinqiao International Airport terminal was established by using the finite element method (FEM) software ANSYS. The load bearing capacity and deformability of landside curtain wall under load cases with seismic loads and wind loads were analyzed. Also the cable net curtain wall’s effect on the main structure was discussed. The results showed that the displacements of curtain wall and the internal forces of cables met the requirements, and the cable net curtain wall had little effect on the main steel structure.

Wind Induced Vibration Response

The point-supported cable truss curtain wall is widely applied in today's high-rise construction structural design. The wind load is the main loads which are bore by Point supported glass curtain wall structure. When the curtain wall glass panels are subject to wind load, the panel will transform form surface loads to point load by spider claws passed to the supporting structure. This paper adopts the method of time domain and ANSYS software to analyse point-supported glass curtain wall cable truss structure of wind-induced vibration response.

The atrium roof system of shared space concerning large public buildingsis studied in this paper. The steel truss roof is wrapped with glass curtain wall which is relatively flexible and it is connected to the tower which is relatively rigid. Different separate means of the atrium roof as well as different connection modes between atrium roof and tower have great effect on mechanical performance of the whole structure. By comprehensive comparing various schemes of atrium roof and connection modes with tower, the internal force, displacement, modal as well as other parameters of roof and tower have been studied. The optimal connection scheme is also determined, which has good reference value for practical projects.
