LDS Temple Window Study
Emphasis: Structural
Sponsor: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
Description:This project is a research paper that will study the interaction between LDS temple window systems and the structural system to improve the performance of the window systems for wind and seismic loads. The window system includes such things as: a) the pane of glass, b) the frame that accepts the pane of glass, c) The structure of the frame to resist loads, and d) the connection of the frame to the structure. The project will study current code requirements for window systems for out-of-plane loads and for in-plane deformation accommodation. In addition the project will study the current methods used by window system manufacturers to accommodate the required in-plane deformation.
