anyone has link containing 3d perspective explaining the connection between curtain wall and concrete slab? I did some DD for this kind of connection, and also saw the shopping drawings from the glass curtain wall manufacturer. But never fully understand its mechanics.
Perhaps you are not getting many responses because, typically, most details in architecture are done in 2D and not 3D. Reason being, we kinda trained (for years) to be able to read such graphics. Perhaps an average housewife, or a decent accountant will not be able to read architectural details, but architects should.
Early in my career, I worked in the engineering office of a steel-framed curtain wall fabricator and installer. Typically, we would shop-fabricate panels with 6" steel studs with sheathing and sometimes exterior finish. With a crane, we would lift hte panels into position and simply weld the studs to the perimiter angle, using shims for adjustment. We would brace the oanels from the lower story windoe head diagonally to the floor decking above. Braces were again simply 6" steel studs welded. I'm having trouble with this editing window, so I'll write more some other time.
I hear you. I did not fully understand curtainwall attachments until I saw them installed. There aren't many good online resources. I posted some photos of installation on the Jobsite Pic of the Day thread a few years ago... Attachment to precast slabs which were later covered with concrete washes.

detailed 3d/drawing for the connection between curtain wall and concrete slab
anyone has link containing 3d perspective explaining the connection between curtain wall and concrete slab? I did some DD for this kind of connection, and also saw the shopping drawings from the glass curtain wall manufacturer. But never fully understand its mechanics.
Any input is highly appreciated.
the r.conc. slab and columns as they be...provide a framework to mount steel clips to...to mount curtain wall to.
ARE basic exam question - where do you put the joints?
go for it...
Thanks for those terminology. I know them as well. I just need to see some on-site video or pictures to convince myself.
for the q: manufacturer prefer on the top of the slab.
i found this company halfen provide some sort of 3d information:
