Thanks for the quick response Ron. Appreciate it. The main reason I was wondering whether trough-wall flashing was required is after looking at on route and return panel systems like Alucabond, Trespa and contacting Alucabond representatives, they told me that route and return systems don't use...
Hi,
I am currently in a process of designing a rain screen panel system that will utilize a stand-off clip and girt to hold the panels. The panels will sit approx 3 -5"(depending on the thickness of
esterior insulation) proud of substrate.
I am wondering if through-wall flashing is necessary...
Hi,
Below is a link to the video showing animation of an assembly under a dead load and pull out force:

The assembly consist of two aluminum parts that are crimped onto a plastic part (thermal break). What I am trying to see is whether or not the...
Thanks for the response jg,
The total clip length is 5 inches. Good question. Below is an image showing the geometry of the extruded crimping legs before they are crimped vs crimped. To understand, are you suggesting that these residual compression forces found on the inside radius plane have...
Hi,
I am currently designing an assembly (clip) that will be used to fasten the architectural panels/cladding to. The clip is fastened to building wall substrate and is suppose to be able to carry both the cladding dead-loads plus resists the negative wind pressures (pull force).
The clip...
Hi DaveAtkins,
Thanks for your response. I was told by a structural engineer to aim for a FOS of 1.7. He told me that the limit state design LRFD would be a better way to asses the structural integrity of the component but since i
use a FEA that doesnt have LRFD I asked him if I could use...
Hi,
I am currently in process of designing a clip with a thermal break for attaching the cladding on to. The clip is suppose to handle a dead load of 90 lbs. The clip's body consists of 6063 T5 aluminum alloy and
the thermal break is Polyamide. The clip is 5 inches long. Since aluminum has a...
