    Spandrel Panel

    Uploaded by

    Stefan Jakovljevic
    Three examples of spandrel panel construction are shown using different materials and architectural approaches. Figure 3.3.12 shows a precast concrete spandrel panel connected to the building structure using insulated starter bars or brackets. Figure 3.3.13 uses a free-standing facade system with load transferred to the concrete structure through an insulated aluminum rail. Insulation and a vapor barrier are attached to the outside of the precast concrete or masonry spandrel panel. Figure 3.3.14 shows a reconstituted stone panel used as the spandrel material, with stainless steel anchors connecting it to the building structure through an air gap for ventilation.

    Three examples of spandrel panels based on


    different architectural and constructional
    approaches, as well as different materials are
    shown here.
    Fig. 3.3.12. The primary structure here is rein-
    forced concrete. The spandrel panel is made
    from a fair-face precast concrete element and
    is thermally isolated from the reinforced con-
    crete floor slab using insulated starter bars or
    stainless steel brackets. The spandrel panel
    must be insulated on the inside and a vapour
    barrier – protected against damage – attached
    to the inner face. Consequently, the heat stor-
    age effect of the solid spandrel panel cannot
    be used for the internal climate. The surface
    1 finish of the spandrel panel is of fair-face qua-
    3.3.12 lity. The facade bears on or is suspended from
    1 2 14 each floor. Connections are accordingly either
    rigid or flexible. Fixing is by means of a facade
