Anotace:
Modern building envelopes are high-tech components that must meet requirements and constraints regarding architecture/urban planning/aesthetics, energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, buildability and value. If a facade can respond to all the transient conditions while maintaining occupant satisfaction without imposing additional loads on the building services, it can be considered “fully adaptive”. However, an adaptive facade needs to fulfil a fundamental role as assigned to the structural performance of the same assemblies, under ordinary as well as exceptional loads, hence requiring specific safety levels and design concepts. Most of the systems representative of this next generation of facades typically consist of highly adaptive envelopes, generally involving smart materials, kinematic mechanisms, etc. In this regard, the current lack of standardized procedures to evaluate and test the structural performance of adaptive envelopes and components represents the first barrier towards their widespread adoption. This is especially true in the case of strategic buildings, in which the facade could be exposed to exceptional loading conditions or the building envelop could have a significant contribution to the robustness of the entire structural system. Similarly, there currently are no guidelines and recommendations for the numerical modelling of the mechanical performance of adaptive facades. In this context, the activities carried out by the EU COST Action TU1403 “Structural Task” aims to provide a proposal of classification for novel structural skins considering their structural properties and expected performances. The Structural Task program will provide an overview of important experimental facilities available in Europe for testing the static, dynamic, long-term and fire performances of adaptive systems.
