AAMA 501.6 Seismic Test- Focuses On
Seismic Safety of Glass Mechanism
AAMA 501.6-09 Seismic Test is a dynamic racking
test process that focuses on the seismic safety of
architectural glass mechanism within the systems of
curtain wall and storefront wall. It involves mounting
individuals on fully glazed wall panel samples on an
active racking test apparatus. The anchorage points
at the top move back and forth in sinusoidal motions
at increasingly higher racking amplitudes, as in a
musical crescendo. The anchorage points in the
bottom stay fixed, thus conveying a energetic, in-plane story waft on the test specimen.
At lower racking amplitudes, the dynamic racking frequencies are 0.8 Hz while at higher
racking amplitudes, frequencies are and 0.4 Hz. The extent at which glass fallout is observed
for the first time for a given specimen is called as fallout for that test specimen. The value of
fallout for a particular wall system glazing configuration is reported as the lowest value of
racking dislocation causing glass fallout for three duplicate specimens tested in accordance
with AAMA 501.6. However, this value of fallout is considered greater than the real relative
seismic displacement of the panel for the specific project under consideration.
NeaCera is an affordable and pre-engineered terra cotta rainscreen system. It is an
architectural drained and rear ventilated rainscreen system that provides lighter weight and
extremely strong panels utilizing firm and single wall design with rear reinforce ribs. This also
serves as an easy and fully integrated hanging panel mechanism. NeaCera rainscreen panels are
easy to install and pre-engineered hanging system. This makes it an affordable system to
install.
There are various panels with different NeaCera Tolerances . Some of the tolerances for
NeaCera rainscreen in accordance to DIN EN ISO 10545-2 include-
1. Length 400mm 1600mm (15.75 62.99) 1.0mm (0.039)
2. Height 150mm 400mm (5.9 15375) +/-2.0mm (0.079)
3. Thickness 26mm (1) +/- 1.5mm (0.059)
4. Evenness Max 0.7% of Height
5. Top Edge Bending Max 0.25%
6. Butt Edge Bending Max 0.25%
7. Right Angle Max 2.0mm (0.079)
