Definitions

  • the invention relates to a structural terminus and in particular to a structural terminus implemented to inhibit explosive effects.
  • a structural terminus is a planar terminus element, which is implemented as openable or permanently closed and may be provided with a transparent or opaque panel.
  • Structural termini of this type are generally known as so-called post-and-beam façades, whose vertical frame elements (“posts”) and horizontal frame elements (“beams”) form fields, in which and/or in front of which the panel elements are situated.
  • Post-and-beam façades may be constructed in such a manner that their posts extend as the first frame elements between two opposite anchoring points, and their beams are placed as the second frame elements between each two first frame elements.
  • the beams may also be implemented as the first frame elements and the posts may be implemented as the second frame elements.
  • Both the connection of the second frame elements to the first frame elements and also the anchoring points of the façade on the structure part represent significant weak points in regard to an inhibition of explosive effect.
  • the panel elements are also not implemented in such a manner that they may withstand a pressure strain caused by an explosion.
  • the structural terminus implemented to inhibit explosive effect includes at least one flat panel element delimited by two hollow profile first frame elements extending parallel to one another, and by two hollow profile second frame elements running transversely to the first frame elements, wherein the first frame elements are each anchored with an anchoring end to a structural part by means of an assigned coupling element at anchoring points opposite each other relative to the flat panel element, and the second frame elements are each placed between the anchoring ends of the first frame elements, and wherein each of the second frame elements forms a butt end with butt connecters inserted in the but ends and connected to an external lateral face of the first frame element; wherein each of the first frame elements has a continuous reinforcement profile in its interior and connected to the assigned coupling element, and the butt connectors are connected to at least one of, the reinforcement profile and the coupling elements.
  • the first frame elements each have a continuous reinforcement profile connected to the assigned coupling elements in their interior and the butt connectors be connected to the reinforcement profile and/or to the coupling elements.
  • the first frame elements usually have a relatively great length, so that positioning the reinforcement profile in their interior cavity initially causes an enormous increase of the stability of these components per se.
  • the reinforcement profiles absorb, inter alia, the loads from the wind strain, these being able to be pressure and/or suction strains, for example. While the frame elements are accordingly only used as a retainer of the panel elements, the reinforcement profiles are used for the load dissipation and are therefore connected directly to the structure part.
  • a significantly more stable attachment of the reinforcement profile, which typically comprises steel, to the structure part is possible than is the case with the frame elements, which typically comprise light metal or plastic.
  • the additional connection of the butt connector to the reinforcement profile and/or to the coupling element is also distinguished by high rigidity and high stability.
  • the reinforcement profile has free end sections extending beyond the front sides of the first frame element on both ends.
  • the coupling elements are advantageously anchored so they are displaceable on the structure part perpendicularly to a plane defined by the structure terminus. In contrast to the rigid connection of the frame elements to the coupling element, in this manner, in case of an explosion occurring on the exterior side of the structure, a displacement of the structure terminus which dissipates energy may occur and damage thereto is counteracted.
  • the coupling element advantageously has a stop, using which its displacement on the anchoring point may be delimited.
  • the displacement occurring in case of an explosion thus runs in a controlled manner and occurs within the limits predefined by the construction, i.e., the displacement begins originating from a starting position which corresponds to the position in the mounted state of the structure terminus and reaches the position which is predefined by the stop upon maximal deflection.
  • the coupling element has oblong holes which are penetrated by anchors countersunk in the structure part, the anchors having a head or underlay disc which is larger than the width of the oblong hole.
  • the reinforcement profiles are provided on both ends with a welded closure plate, in which at least one threaded hole is located, into which a screw penetrating the coupling element is screwed.
  • a stable type of the connection is thus produced and on the other hand the mounting of the structural terminus is simplified.
  • the coupling element has a plate screwed to a front-side end of the reinforcement profile, which is screwed onto a structure part in oblong holes, and is provided with a stop leg running perpendicularly thereto, which supports itself on a visible side of the structure via an elastically or plastically deformable intermediate layer.
  • the intermediate layer ensures a tight attachment to the structure part both in the starting position and also in the deflected position of the structural terminus. If intermediate layer comprises an elastic material, it acts as a spring and presses the structure terminus back into its starting position after equalization of the pressure increase.
  • stop leg is formed by a L-profile, the L-profile and the plate being connected to the reinforcement profile using a shared screw.
  • the structural terminus may be implemented according to the invention in such a manner that each two L-shaped butt joints jointly form a T-joint or a cross joint, and the joints of the butt joints run parallel to an outside edge of a frame element.

  • the first frame element 2 which is continuous in the vertical direction, has a hollow profile, in which a rectangular tube, which is also continuous, is positioned as a reinforcement profile 14 .
  • the reinforcement profile 14 projects upward above the front side 15 of the hollow profile and is provided on its end with a closure plate 17 welded in using fillet welds 16 .
  • the second frame element 3 running in the horizontal direction whose construction may be seen in FIG. 4 , has an internal frame profile 18 running between the first frame elements 2 , which is also implemented as a hollow profile.

  • the screw 20 used for fastening the butt connector 8 to the first frame element 2 engages both in a hollow profile of the first frame element 2 and also, as provided according to the invention, in the reinforcement profile 14 , so that an especially stable butt connection of first frame element 2 and second frame element 3 is provided.
  • a coupling element 21 in the form of a steel plate is positioned on the reinforcement profile 14 projecting out of the hollow profile of the first element 2 , which extends beyond the internal frame profile 18 up into the soffit of the structure part 7 .
  • the gap 23 located between the upper edge 19 of the second frame element 3 and the lower edge 22 of the steel plate is closed by a pressure-resistant lining 24 .
  • An L-profile 25 is situated on the coupling element 21 , whose stop leg 26 pointing in the vertical direction is fastened using an anchor 27 to a structure part 7 located behind the plane of the drawing, a gap 29 provided with an intermediate layer 28 remaining between the vertical stop leg 26 of the L-profile 25 and the structure part 7 —as shown in FIG. 4 .

  • a screw 30 introduced from the top side of the L-profile 25 connects the L-profile 25 and the coupling element 21 to the closure plate 17 of the reinforcement profile 14 located underneath.

  • the coupling element 21 is connected using a vertically running anchor 33 to the structure part 7 , the coupling element 21 being provided with an oblong hole 34 .
  • the intermediate layer located in the gap 29 between the vertical stop leg 26 of the L-profile 25 and the structure part 7 is compressed and the elements of the façade are displaced perpendicularly to the plane defined by the structural terminus 1 . Breaking of the panel elements 10 as a result of an explosion is thus counteracted.
  • FIG. 4 shows a vertical section through the bracket 4 in the area of the reinforcement profile 14 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 .
  • the second frame element 3 running in the horizontal direction comprises the internal frame profile 18 located on the interior side of the structural terminus and an external frame profile 35 , running at a distance and parallel thereto, rubber seals 36 being clipped into each of the frame profiles 18 , 35 , between which the panel elements 10 are retained.

  • the external and the internal frame profiles 18 , 35 are each connected to one another by pin-shaped connection elements 39 .
  • the screw 20 for the fastening of the butt connector 8 to the post- 2 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is also shown in FIG. 4 , which additionally connects the internal frame profile 18 of the second frame element 3 both to the hollow profile of the first frame element 2 and also to the reinforcement profile 14 .
  • the first frame elements 2 and second frame elements 3 of the façade are placed in front of the structure part 7 in such a manner that the external frame profiles 35 , the panel elements 10 , and a majority of the internal frame profiles 18 as well as the first frame elements 2 project beyond the outside edge of the structure part 7 , so that an offset between structure part 7 and façade results in the horizontal direction.
  • the connection of the closure plate 17 to the coupling plate 21 and/or to the L-profile 25 is well recognizable.
  • the coupling element 21 implemented as a steel plate is situated, this plate extending up into the soffit 40 of a structure opening.
  • the closure plate 17 of the reinforcement profile 14 is connected to the coupling element 21 by the two countersunk screws 32 .
  • the closure plate 17 is connected to the coupling element 21 and the L-profile 25 using the screw 30 , so that overall a stable connection of the façade elements to the coupling element 21 and to the L-profile 25 is provided.
  • the L-profile 25 situated on the coupling element 21 has its short leg 41 welded to the coupling element 21 .
  • the long stop leg 26 of the L-profile 25 is fastened using anchors 27 to the structure part 7 .

  • a slight gap 42 also remains between coupling element 21 and soffit 40 , which is closed using a sealing compound 43 .
  • the coupling element 21 is fastened to the soffit 40 by the anchor 33 , the coupling element 21 having an oblong hole 34 in the area of the anchor 33 .
  • the head 44 of the anchor 33 and the underlay disk 45 thereof have a greater width than the oblong hole 34 .
  • the first frame elements 2 and second frame elements 3 are connected rigidly via the closure plate 17 to the coupling element 21 and the L-profile 25 , this connection being implemented as extremely stable.
  • connection of the coupling element 21 and the L-profile 25 to the structure part 7 is not implemented as a rigid connection. Rather, a relative displacement is possible between the coupling element 21 —with the L-profile 25 connected thereto—and the structure part 7 in the horizontal direction by the distance by which the intermediate layer 28 comprising cellular rubber may be compressed.
  • Such a relative displacement is caused by a pressure increase like an explosion in the outside area of the structural terminus 1 , the intermediate layer 28 acting like a spring. After equalization of the pressure increase, the structural terminus is pushed back at least partially into its starting position by the restoring force of the intermediate layer 38 .
  • the outside edge of the structure forms a stop for the displacement when the intermediate layer 28 is compressed and on the other hand the end of the oblong hole 34 facing toward the outside area of may be used as a stop for the relative displacement between coupling element 21 and structure part 7 .
  • FIG. 5 A horizontal section of the bracket 4 shown in FIGS. 2 through 4 is shown in FIG. 5 , in which the connection of the coupling element 21 to the structure part 7 using anchors 33 guided in the oblong hole 34 is well recognizable.
  • the oblong hole 34 extends in the horizontal direction and has a smaller width than the head 34 and the underlay disk 45 of the anchor 33 . If an explosion occurs in the outside area A of the structure, which would result in an enormous pressure increase in the outside area A, the L-profile 25 is displaced with the coupling element 21 attached thereto in the direction of the inside area 1 , the intermediate layer 28 being compressed like an elastically deformable spring or plastically to a fraction of its starting volume shown in the figure.
  • the displacement has reached its maximum when the stop leg 26 of the L-profile 25 is supported on a structure part 7 , the compressed intermediate layer 28 being located between them. It is to be ensured in the implementation of the oblong hole 34 that it permits a displacement by the maximum amount. Otherwise, the displacement of the coupling element 21 is obstructed by the end of the oblong hole 34 , destruction of the coupling element 21 in the area of the oblong hole 34 being able to be caused by the forces arising in the event of an explosion.
  • FIG. 6 shows an external view of a bracket 4 ′ on an anchoring point 6 in the middle area of a post-and-beam façade from FIG. 1 .
  • the first frame element 2 is abutted on both sides by an internal frame profile 18 of the second frame elements 3 in each case, the connections between first frame element 2 and second frame element 3 as well as the coupling element 21 or L-profile 25 located above them not differing from the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 through 5 .
  • the L-profile 25 is fastened to the structure part 7 (not shown in the figure) using two anchors 27 because of its greater width.
  • FIG. 7 An internal view of the bracket 4 ′ from FIG. 6 is shown in FIG. 7 , which again solely differs from the internal view shown in FIG. 3 in that the first frame element 2 is abutted on both sides by an internal frame profile 18 of the second frame elements 3 , and the L-profile 25 is connected to the structure part 7 by two anchors 33 .
  • the vertical section shown in FIG. 8 through the bracket 4 ′ from FIGS. 6 and 7 is a section which is led in the area adjacent to the closure plate 17 of the reinforcement profile 14 , so that the internal frame profile 18 is well recognizable in cross-section.

  • the horizontal section shown in FIG. 9 of the bracket 4 ′ from FIG. 6 again solely differs from the horizontal section shown in FIG. 5 in that the first frame element 2 has its reinforcement profile 14 abutted on both sides by a second frame element 3 , the central axis 46 of the screw 20 simultaneously forming the axis of symmetry 47 of the configuration shown.
  • the connection of the coupling element 21 to the structure part 7 using anchors 33 guided in the oblong holes 34 is also well recognizable in FIG. 9 .
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 show an alternative bracket 4 ′′ for connecting the first frame element 2 to the structure part 7 , the bracket 4 ′′ being implemented as U-shaped and enclosing one end of the post 2 like a shoe 48 .
