seismic behaviors of façade systems are tested with three-dimensional
pneumatical seismic test units in accordance to AAMA 501.4 and AAMA 501.6. In
our facilities, samples as small as 1000 mm x 1000 mm and as large as 3500 mm x
4800 mm can be tested as part of the seismic test. Displacements up to 150 mm
can be reached, and in dynamic tests, frequencies of 0.4 and 0.8 Hertz can be
applied onto the samples. As a result, any risks of falling glass and permanent
deformations are looked for, and if found, recorded to the report.
