报告简介:

In mega cities, glass facade systems used in modern high-rise buildings have gained popularity due to their architectural features, and superior acoustic and thermal insulation properties. The glass facades are widely installed in shopping malls and office buildings to reduce the acoustic impacts and heat loads while allowing natural daylight to enter. Owing to its brittle nature, glass expands and breaks easily at elevated temperatures, and this can escalate the severity of fire outbreak. Such brittle nature of glass is of particular concern because the loss of facade integrity may provide a channel for fire spreading to other floors and adjacent buildings. To prevent fire from spreading, glass facade must be carefully designed aiming to enhance its thermal performance and minimizing the occurrence of fire spreading vertically to different floors or horizontally to adjacent buildings. Therefore, it is essential to understand the thermomechanical mechanisms of glass facade under fire. The present study develops experiments and computational frameworks based on meshfree/meshless techniques to investigate the thermal degradation of glass facades under fire conditions. In this talk, experiments and numerical simulations are presented to examine the fire performance of glass facades under different fire scenarios. These findings will help to improve the fire protection design of modern building glass facade systems, address various safety and reliability concerns, and provide valuable theoretical and practical resources for modern building design.
