| Abstrakt: |
Access to building facades is necessary for routine maintenance, window cleaning, and repairs. Structural engineers are often asked to design facade access systems for new or existing buildings or to evaluate various facade access equipment. Drawing upon relevant case histories in which dedicated facade access equipment was inspected, tested, and/or designed for a number of high rise buildings, this paper presents key design and evaluation criteria for such equipment, and offers general recommendations and guidance for navigating often-contradictory codes and regulations. |
