【 摘 要 】

The aim of this research was to determine experimentally the mechanical resistance of preset ventilated facade systems exposed to wind suction. In accordance with the European ETAG 034 Guideline, Part 1, seven facade assemblies were tested. The wind suction load was simulated in a vacuum test in the AdMaS centre using the universal vacuum loading system. The test was performed with a load increasing in increments, where after each level, the specimens were unloaded. The effect of the density of connections of load-bearing plates with the structure of subframes was demonstrated. Further, the resistance to wind suction of specimens with timber subframe was slightly higher than that of specimens with aluminium subframe.
