Analysis Of Unit Type And Frame Type Curtain Wall Engineering Application Comparison

Along with the progress of the society, the development of the city, the current major city landmarks are growing day by day, People focus on building facade is higher and higher, resulting in the building curtain wall has become one of the key concerns of the real estate enterprises and local government planning departments. Architectural glass curtain wall with its modern style and gorgeous appearance has been widely used in modern building facade. Although the development of curtain wall engineering in China is too late, but the progress is very rapid, the average annual output of curtain wall develops from2million square meters in the beginning of the1980to current15million square meters. And the type of curtain wall develops from single frame type to the current exposed frame, hidden frame, metal, stone, unit, frame, point curtain wall etc.. Also recently lot of advanced structural curtain walls increase and develop very well, i.e. sunshading curtain wall, double curtain wall, intelligent curtain wall, ecological curtain wall, membrane structural curtain wall and photoelectric curtain wall and so on. At present, the demand for glass curtain wall in China and production is the largest country in the world. With the development and progress of curtain wall, the modeling of glass curtain wall is increasingly personalized, and the structure is more and more complex. However, the light pollution generates because of the glass reflection, and more and more people pay attention to the technical innovation of glass curtain wall. Based on this situation, the author carries on the contrast analysis for the unit type curtain wall structure and frame curtain wall structure in this article via the design, construction and cost analysis of building curtain wall. Through the research of curtain wall’s structural design, construction technology and cost structure, it comes out the comparison summarizes of application for two types of curtain wall in the project, which could provide some guidance for development and construction of architectural project.
