System for assembling wind bracing on a glazed wall
A wind bracing for a wall including an assembled collection of infill panels mounted on a bearing structure, the wind bracing including a glass panel and a mounting mechanism securing the glass panel to the wall. The mounting mechanism includes at least one mounting section piece with a shape that delimits a housing into which the glass panel is engaged and in which the housing is fixed by adhesive bonding. The mounting mechanism also includes adapting and fixing members for fixing the mounting section piece to an upright or to a cross member of the bearing structure.
1. A building comprising:
a bearing structure having at least one upright and/or at least one cross member;
a curtain wall including an assembled collection of infill panels mounted on the bearing structure; and
a wind bracing comprising:
a glass panel configured to be mounted perpendicular to the curtain wall on an inside of the building; and
a mounting means for securing the glass panel to the curtain wall;
wherein the mounting means comprises at least one mounting section piece with a shape that delimits a housing into which the glass panel is engaged and in which the glass panel is fixed by adhesive bonding,
the mounting means further comprising adapting and fixing members for fixing the mounting section piece to the upright or to the cross member of the bearing structure.
2. The building according to claim 1 , wherein the housing in cross section has a U-shape with one lateral branch extending on a first side of the glass panel and another lateral branch extending on a second side of the glass panel, a bottom of the U-shape facing an end edge face of the glass panel.
3. The building according to claim 2 , wherein the mounting means comprises sealing means arranged in the housing between the glass panel and the lateral branches.
4. The building according to claim 2 , wherein the mounting means comprises positioning shims arranged in the housing between the glass panel and the lateral branches.
5. The building according to claim 1 , wherein the adapting and fixing members form an adapting section piece secured to the mounting section piece and in cross section having a U-shape with complementary lateral branches, the complementary lateral branches of which extend away from the housing, separation of the complementary lateral branches configured to dimensions of the upright or of the cross member of the bearing structure.
6. The building according to claim 1 , wherein the adapting and fixing members comprise a bearing face of the mounting section piece which contacts the upright or the cross member of the bearing structure, and lateral arms configured to be articulated removably with their end on the mounting section piece and fixed to the corresponding upright or cross member when the lateral arms are collaborating mechanically with the mounting section piece to make a rigid mechanical connection.
7. The building according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting section piece includes holes and/or grooves for injection of a glue and/or a sealant.
8. The building according to claim 1 , wherein the adapting section piece includes holes and/or grooves for injection of a glue and/or a sealant.
9. A system for assembling the building of claim 1 , wherein the adapting and fixing members are mechanically connected to the upright or to the cross member by a bonding means in a form of a coat of adhesive, a double-sided sticky tape, and/or screws.
10. The assembling system according to claim 9 , wherein the bearing structure is a secondary framework of the building.
11. A wind bracing comprising:
a glass panel mounted on an inside of a building and perpendicular to a curtain wall the curtain wall including an assembled collection of infill panels, and the curtain wall mounted on a bearing structure;
at least one mounting section piece with a shape that delimits a housing into which the glass panel is engaged and in which the glass panel is fixed by adhesive bonding; and
adapting and fixing members for fixing the mounting section piece to an upright or to a cross member of the bearing structure of the building.
12. The wind bracing according to claim 11 , wherein the housing in cross section has a U-shape with one lateral branch extending on a first side of the glass panel and another lateral branch extending on a second side of the glass panel, a bottom of the U-shape facing an end edge face of the glass panel.
13. The wind bracing according to claim 12 , further comprising sealing means arranged in the housing between the glass panel and the lateral branches.
14. The wind bracing according to claim 12 , further comprising positioning shims arranged in the housing between the glass panel and the lateral branches.
15. The wind bracing according to claim 11 , wherein the adapting and fixing members form an adapting section piece secured to the mounting section piece and in cross section having a U-shape with complementary lateral branches, the complementary lateral branches of which extend away from the housing, separation of the complementary lateral branches configured to dimensions of the upright or of the cross member of the bearing structure.
16. The wind bracing according to claim 11 , wherein the adapting and fixing members comprise a bearing face of the mounting section piece which is configured to come into contact with the upright or the cross member of the bearing structure, and lateral arms configured to be articulated removably with their end on the mounting section piece and to be fixed to the corresponding upright or cross member when the lateral arms are collaborating mechanically with the mounting section piece to make a rigid mechanical connection.
17. The wind bracing according to claim 11 , wherein the mounting section piece includes holes and/or grooves for injection of a glue and/or a sealant.
18. The wind bracing according to claim 11 , wherein the adapting section piece includes holes and/or grooves for injection of a glue and/or a sealant.
19. A wind bracing comprising:
a glass panel to be mounted on an inside of a building and adjacent to a curtain wall, the curtain wall including an assembled collection of infill panels, the curtain wall mounted on a bearing structure;
at least one first mounting section piece with a shape that delimits a housing into which the glass panel is engaged and in which the glass panel is fixed by adhesive bonding; and
an adapting section piece with a shape that delimits a housing into which an inside portion of an upright or a cross member of the bearing structure of the building will engage so that the glass panel engages the curtain wall perpendicularly.
20. The wind bracing of claim 19 , wherein the wind bracing is mounted between, and perpendicular to, two infill panels.
21. The wind bracing of claim 20 , where the infill panels are glass panels.
22. The wind bracing of claim 19 , wherein the building structure is a roof.
23. The wind bracing of claim 19 , wherein the building structure is a glasswork.
24. The wind bracing of claim 11 , wherein the wind bracing is mounted between, and perpendicular to, two infill panels.
25. The wind bracing of claim 24 , where the infill panels are glass panels.
