Modern structures often demand high performance faades


that can be reliably installed in a minimum time period to
meet compressed construction schedules.
Today, curtain wall faades are one of the faade systems
increasingly selected by designers and clients. The Curtain
wall can comprise of glass, metal or stone elements sup-
ported by a steel or aluminium frame. The frame is either
factory- assembled with the faade elements to form a panel,
or is put together at the construction site.
To maximise the e ciency and reliability of installation,
HALFEN channels and T-bolts are often selected as the pre-
ferred connection method between the faade and the buil-
ding structure.

The main features of the HALFEN channel system are as
follows:
Easy and fast installation
Easy and fast adjustment
Optimum reliability
No power tools No vibration, dust or excessive noise.
Wide choice of channel proles
Wide choice of T-bolts
High quality materials and nishes
Independently tested and approved load data

The HALFEN channel system comprises channels that are cast into the concrete
frame of the structure, to which faade brackets can be connected by using special
T-shaped bolts. The system provides an ideal method for the connection of
faade systems.

HALFEN channels can be installed using several methods to suit the type of structure and concrete formwork. A typical installa-
tion sequence is shown below.
When the HALFEN channel is installed to the top of the oor slab, it is not possible to nail the HALFEN channel to the form-
work as shown in the rst installation photograph above. Other methods are used which are illustrated below.
Nail channel to formwork. When concrete is set, remove the formwork, then remove the ller material from the channel.
Insert T-bolt into channel and rotate ninety
degrees.
Attach component adjust and tighten nut. Combined with slotted brackets the HALFEN channel
allows 2 or 3-way adjustment for curtain wall components.

pour on timber battens nailed to the edge formwork.

Faades often require multiple connections or connections close to corners and concrete edges. HALFEN provides product design
assistance to ensure that loads are e ciently transferred into the structure and that channels can be accurately placed.

potentially high repair costs.
Quality of installation is di cult to check on site (depth

A series of 3 tests produced the following average ultimate loads:
The adjacent load deformation diagram may be used to determine
allowable loads based on acceptable displacement and the required
safety factor according to local building codes. The diagram is based
on the following:
The concrete slab is 125 mm thick and reinforced according to
the diagram on the previous page.
Concrete compression strength C 20/25 N/mm (cylinder/
cube) with normal weight aggregate.
Load is equally distributed to the channel by two HALFEN T-bolts
(ordered separately) spaced at 150 mm centers. See below for
sizes and load capacities.
An example of a typical calculation method is shown below. The
factors used in the calculation example are for illustration only. Actual
factors used on a project basis must be checked according to local or
national building regulations. Also the calculations make no allowance
for load magnication due to load eccentricities. These must be
included according to the project design of the connection. Contact us
for guidance if required.
Calculation Example: Assumed safety factor 3 applied to the ultimate
test load.

HALFEN T-bolts type HS 50/30 8.8 grade, M16 and M20


are recommended for use with HALFEN channel type HCW
52/34 according to the load performance required.
The loads F
S allow.
shown in the table below are per bolt and
based on applied safety factors of approximately 2.5 : 1,
other factors may be applied according to appropriate regula-
tions and project requirements.
Please note, that fastener performance may be limited by
channel capacity. The sizes shown are produced with a spe-
cial coating equivalent to hot dip galvanising in salt spray
tests. T-bolts in other sizes and materials are available if re-
quired, please contact us for details.

Notes: Self drilled fasteners and the structure must be capable of supporting the loads imposed. Fasteners should be positioned in the central third of the rail
width, and no closer than 25mm to the end of the channel. For pure tensile loads edge distances may be reduced to a minimum of 50mm with a correspon-
ding reduction in allowable load according to the formula: Reduced ar = (Reduced load x a
r
) / recommended load.
Further design information is available in HALFEN catalogue B-E.

HALFEN HTU cast-in channels provide an ideal method of connecting window frames, door frames, sheeting rails
and metal cladding panels to concrete, using self-tapping screws. They are easy to install and allow two dimensio-
nal adjustment for the connection.
HTU self-anchoring channels are available pre-galvanised in lengths of six meters. For details of HTU channels
with welded anchors see below.
All HALFEN cast-in channels type HTU 60/22 are available in 3 m lengths with hot dip galvanised nish.
HTU 60/22/3 is also available in A4 stainless steel. Anchors available at 450mm or 150mm centres.

HALFEN Edge of slab brackets are connected in pairs to
either side of the mullion and are available in two types:
HCW-ED brackets are designed to support both vertical
and horizontal loads.
HCW-EW brackets are designed to support horizontal
wind loads only.
The brackets provide convenient connection adjustment.
T-head bolts M12 grade 8.8 connections are required to the
mullion and cast-in channel. Pilot holes are also provided in
the bracket if it is preferred to temporarily position the bra-
cket prior to drilling the mullion for the main connection.
The brackets are manufactured from high strength alumini-
um. Nylatron shims are available as low-friction shims for
windload brackets.
HCW-ED brackets are marked R (right) and L (left) with
UP at the top. Care should be taken to orientate the bra-
ckets correctly to avoid overloading the connections.

To get the design action on the HALFEN T-head bolt connecting HALFEN Curtain
wall bracket and HALFEN channel, the design loads F
vd
and F
hd
at the connection
between curtain wall bracket and faade mullion can be multiplied with the factors
Sx, Sy and Sz. These factors depend on the brackets geometry, on the load direc-
tion and on the position of the bolt (see drawings right).
The following tables show the multiplication factors for determination of the forces
at the channel bolt to calculate with.
