Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of the invented protective device for windows in apartments, specially for deteriorated apartments, against strong wind such as typhoon which causes a lot of expense for repairing windows every year in Korea. Based on the results from experiments for the window protective device, the numerical simulation model of the device which has the equivalent performance to the real one was built. Using this model, its performance was analyzed with different thickness and size of windows by comparing between flexural capacity of window glass with the device and without the device. From the results, the design table for installation of the window protective device was suggested. By comparing capacity of a window glass to wind load that is transformed from wind speed, the installation of the device is decided if the window can be protected by the device. The location and direction of installation of the device is also illustrated. The results of this study were as follows; it was predicted that this would be a useful device to protect windows in an economical way against certain range of strong wind.
