Architectural problems encountered in the design and production processes of aluminium curtain wall systems in terms of façade-carrier system relationship

The concept of building façade systems has started to develop along with the innovative thinking approach in the construction sector and has caused the occurrence and development of Aluminum curtain wall systems. Today, the use of aluminum curtain wall systems has become the leading facade application in the building sector with the development of technology. The selection of the right curtain wall system suitable for the building is an important condition in fulfilling the performance criteria. The efficient and correct management of the design and production processes of aluminum curtain wall systems ensures that the desired performance criteria in the building are met. Due to the wrong façade selection and deficiencies in the processes, problems will occur in aluminum curtain wall system applications. Finally, as the main purpose of the thesis, problems and differences which may occur between façade and structural system of building are studied and solutions of these problems have been analyzed and discussed for aluminum curtain wall systems during the design and manufacturing process in Turkey and the countries with having high construction standards.
