DYNAMIC, FIRE-RESISTANCE-RATED THERMALLY INSULATING AND SEALING SYSTEM HAVING A F-RATING OF 120 MIN FOR USE WITH CURTAIN WALL STRUCTURES
An approved dynamic construction is used for effectively thermally insulating and sealing of a safing slot between a floor of a building and an exterior wall construction, wherein the exterior wall construction includes a curtain wall configuration defined by an interior wall glass surface including one or more aluminum framing members, wherein the vision glass extends to the finished floor level below. The dynamic, thermally insulating and sealing system includes a first element for receiving the insulating elements and positioned in the zero spandrel area of a glass curtain wall construction including only vision glass to maintain thermally insulating and sealing of the safing slot during exposure to fire and heat as well as movement in order to maintain a complete seal extending across the safing slot.

Building, in particular a multistory building, and use of a damper in such a building
The invention relates to a building (1), in particular a multistory building, which has a supporting structure (5), and a facade (3) which is operatively connected to the supporting structure and exposed to the wind, wherein the facade (3) has a plurality of facade elements (7), wherein the facade elements (7) are designed to move relative to the supporting structure (5) in reaction to a torsion of the supporting structure (5). It is proposed that at least some facade elements (7) are operatively connected to a number of dampers (13), wherein the dampers (13) are designed to damp a movement of the facade elements (7) relative to the supporting structure (5).

Curtain wall and wall element thereby applied and method for manufacturing such a wall element
A curtain wall constructed from prefabricated connecting wall elements mounted in rows next to and above each other with the wall elements including a frame of assembled profiles on the inside of the curtain wall and of one or more infill elements on the outside of the curtain wall. The frame contains mullions and transoms in the form of profiles which along the perimeter of the frame have female coupling parts and male coupling parts which allow the adjacent mullions and adjacent transoms in an assembled condition in the curtain wall to engage with their coupling parts to form composite basic profiles, where between two rows of connecting wall elements a horizontal seal has been applied which extends continuously in a horizontal direction over the width of the underlying row.
