Develop detailed structural calculations and designs for facade components such as curtain walls, cladding and glazing systems using specialized software.
Perform load calculations including wind, seismic, and thermal loads to design facade systems that are structurally sound and resilient.
Choose appropriate materials, e.g. glass, aluminum, steel, that meet both structural and performance requirements such as durability, fire resistance, and thermal efficiency.
Oversee facade testing such as wind load and water infiltration tests to validate the system's performance and durability under environmental conditions.
Work closely with architects, facade designers, and other engineers to ensure the facade integrates seamlessly with the building's overall design and systems.
Analyze structural facade systems to ensure they meet building codes and withstand environmental loads, including wind, snow, and seismic ...
