This session will delve into commercial construction materials and their performance in response to natural building movements such as wind-induced deflection, thermal expansion and contraction, creep, and seismic activity.
Join us to examine how building materials behave under dynamic loads and how these forces influence the long-term durability and functionality of building enclosures. Plus, learn about fundamental material properties along with the comparative performance of traditional and emerging technologies. You'll leave with the ability to assess critically how a variety of façade systems respond to building movement and to design more robust, adaptable building enclosure assemblies.
