Kohinoor Square Facade Know How

INTRODUCTION
FAÇADE “CENTRAL TOWER”

At 50 stories, one of the towers will be among India’s tallest office
buildings. The structure comprises a concrete core and post-
tensioned concrete slab and spandrel beams.
The façade consists of faceted unitized aluminum curtain walls
with provisions for high performance double glass façades on the
tower. The towers are linked by a podium with a façade of custom
point-supported glazing on specialty steel trusses.
All the Glasses are articulated glasses & can sustain design wind
pressure of 4.5 to 5.0 kpa. Diamond edges of the building having
aluminum flashing with LED lighting are the unique feature and
make it complicated façade design.
The Façade Consists of Façade LED Lighting in the spandrel panel
which gives a dynamic look in the night.

ADVANTAGE OF UNITIZED GLAZING
• The proposed system is Fully Unitized four sided structural glazing system.
• The façade is Straight in plan in majority of area with articulated glass in vision and spandrel.
• Unitized system with split mullion and split transom.
• Better performing system since factory finished elements . More advance curtain walling system.
• Articulation of panel as per architectural intent to give unique .
• Units of one grid bay x one floor height factory finished ( 1.5x 3.9 )
• Pressure equalized drainage system.
• Three barrier weather gasket system.
• Microwave cured EPDM gaskets for better performance.
• Exposed gaskets of Silicon gaskets for better UV resistance and performance.
• Continuous drainage at every floor.
• Complete unitized panel is factory finished under control condition
• Special process of structural glazing in controlled factory condition.
• Unitized panel with 15 mm vertical movement to accommodate floor movement , Slab edge
deflection , building creep & thermal expansion at every floor unit
• Glass totally free from stresses as glass held by structural sealant.
• Economical design with advance technology.
• Complete split mullion and split transom profile becomes structural value hence optimized
material content.
• Installation is very fast hence at site time taken is least by façade contractor.
• No scaffolding required for unitized panel installation . This is done by floor crane / panel hoisting
• Cast in channel for bracket fixing which will reduce installation time for façade contractor by 1
month at least.
TECHNICAL DESIGN CRITERIA
Design wind pressure is 175 – 525 kg/m2. as per RWDI report.
Structural member deflection to be limited to L/175. Mullion supporting 3mtr

height of vision glass shall not be allowed to deflect more than 17mm.
The edge deflection of vision glass needs to be limited to 17mm hence support
member shall have more stiffness .
Structural calculations in line with Australian standard for more permissible stress
i.e. 1.33 % permissible.
Vision glass as DGU of 32mm ( 8mm HS +16mm Air gap +8mm HS ) as per wind
pressure requirement to limit the deflection at the center of glass to 24mm
maximum.
Glass flatness during processing of glass i.e. Heat strength and DGU making shall
not exceed 3mm of longer side.
Toughening roller wave shall be parallel to the width of glass.

Spandrel glass as DGU of 30mm (6mm HS + 18mm Air gap + 6mm HS)
Vision glass VLT –-36 %, SHGC between 0.23 , U value of 1.5 W/m2.k ( BTU 0.26 ).
Grey appearance of glass as per architectural intent.
Higher external Reflection value & Lower internal reflection value
Glass deflection in 4 side support condition limiting to L/90 or maximum of 24mm
Atrium glass supported on patch fitting & spider fitting limiting glass deflection to be
L/60 of longer span or 25mm maximum.
Perforated aluminum structural member deflection limiting to L/175.
Perforated aluminum panel deflection limiting to L/60.
