| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to develop the curtain-wall structure design evaluation manual that can easily examine the curtain-wall structural members (Mullion and Transom) stability from the position of the construction managers. Through analyzing the structural design reports in the previous studies and interview with industry experts, the curtain-wall structural member design process was elicited. The manual, which consists of Microsoft Excel-based work sheet and its manual, was applied to a real curtain-wall design project to make sure its usability. A workshop with three curtain-wall experts and three construction managers was conducted to identify pros and cons of the manual, thereby enhancing its applicability in the future. |
