TY - CONF A1 - Webb, A. A1 - Hofmann-Böllinghaus, Anja T1 - Changes in façade regulations N2 - Recent facade fires worldwide have driven change in regulations for façade fire safety in different parts of the world. The Grenfell Tower fire 2017 in London triggered a thorough investigation of many aspects of the fire. One investigation was about the UK building regulations from Dame Judith Hackett. This investigation compares the UK with the situation other parts of the world. Key findings of the review of building regulations by Judith Hackett are: T2 - Interflam 2019 CY - London, UK DA - 01.07.2019 KW - Facades PY - 2019 VL - 2019 SP - 213 EP - 228 PB - Interscience CY - London, UK AN - OPUS4-49893 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Larcher, M.

T1 - Design of blast-loaded glazing windows and facades: a review of essential requirements towards standardization N2 - The determination of the blast protection level of laminated glass windows and facades is of crucial importance, and it is normally done by using experimental investigations. In recent years numericalmethods have becomemuch more powerful also with respect to this kind of application. This paper attempts to give a first idea of a possible standardization concerning such numerical simulations. Attention is drawn to the representation of the blast loading and to the proper description of the behaviour of the material of the mentioned products, to the geometrical meshing, and to the modelling of the connections of the glass components to the main structure.The need to validate the numerical models against reliable experimental data, some of which are indicated, is underlined.

A great variation of materials is used in façade systems which also have a wide spread variation of reaction-to-fire behaviour. As building regulations are national legislations the implementation of fire safety of façade systems in building regulations differs significantly in different countries. Therefore the testing and classification of façade systems differs as well hugely. Approaches to regulate the material only are as well in use as to concentrate mainly on large scale testing and several approaches in between. It was not possible yet to find a harmonized test for façades in Europe. However, in many countries severe fires with combustible façade systems brought the challenges of fire safety of façades to a greater awareness. An overview over different large scale test and implementation in building regulations shows the differences. Challenges in fire safety of façades regarding the testing, the weathering, aging and damage of the systems and the impact on fire safety are discussed.
