They are of great importance in any construction and the existing solutions offer features according to the climatic conditions of each location. Fa\u00e7ades have evolved over time to the point that they are currently a fundamental element for the energy balance of any building with a decisive impact on consumption and efficiency. Among the different types of fa\u00e7ades that can be found, there is one that has received the consensus of experts in Europe for its effectiveness in promoting the thermal insulation of buildings, in addition to advantages such as low maintenance, avoiding thermal bridges. , moisture, condensation, etc.: it is the ventilated fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"932\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/icitech.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Proyecto-CONFACH.webp\" alt=\"Proyecto CONFACH\" class=\"wp-image-3765\" style=\"width:376px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icitech.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Proyecto-CONFACH.webp 932w, https:\/\/icitech.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Proyecto-CONFACH-300x209.webp 300w, https:\/\/icitech.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Proyecto-CONFACH-768x536.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 932px) 100vw, 932px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"745\" height=\"642\" src=\"https:\/\/icitech.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Fachada-proyecto-CONFACH.webp\" alt=\"Fachada-proyecto-CONFACH\" class=\"wp-image-3769\" style=\"width:292px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icitech.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Fachada-proyecto-CONFACH.webp 745w, https:\/\/icitech.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Fachada-proyecto-CONFACH-300x259.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 745px) 100vw, 745px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having emerged on the construction scene towards the end of the 80s, ventilated facades have currently been rescued due to their energy efficiency. In the event of an earthquake, coverings, facades, partitions, etc. are very sensitive elements. Usually considered non-structural, they are susceptible to detaching from the building and falling, causing serious economic damage and fatal consequences for people. Ventilated fa\u00e7ades, in particular, have a high seismic vulnerability that can cause serious damage in the event of an earthquake. This fact directly led to human and economic damage due to falling parts of the enclosures, as commented. Indirectly, the fall to the exterior of debris from walls and parts of the enclosure, parapets, chimneys, etc. has even more catastrophic consequences, since it has been proven that this fact can block many of the access or evacuation routes to the site of the catastroph. However, even with a detailed design and using current reinforcement and anchoring techniques for fa\u00e7ade elements, it cannot be guaranteed or prevented that individual parts of the enclosures (bricks, stones, panels,&#8230;) may fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This research project aims to provide a complete and safe seismic solution for this important fa\u00e7ade typology. The fundamental objective is to develop a global containment system for ventilated fa\u00e7ades to solve the problem that their constituent elements may fall to the street due to loss of contact with the building to which they are attached, thus avoiding serious direct and indirect consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"386\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/icitech.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Sistema-de-contencion-vista-1.webp\" alt=\"Sistema-de-contencion-vista-1\" class=\"wp-image-3763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icitech.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Sistema-de-contencion-vista-1.webp 386w, https:\/\/icitech.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Sistema-de-contencion-vista-1-280x300.webp 280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 386px) 100vw, 386px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"425\" height=\"419\" src=\"https:\/\/icitech.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Sistema-de-contencion-vista-2.webp\" alt=\"Sistema de contenci\u00f3n vista 2\" class=\"wp-image-3764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icitech.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Sistema-de-contencion-vista-2.webp 425w, https:\/\/icitech.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Sistema-de-contencion-vista-2-300x296.webp 300w, https:\/\/icitech.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Sistema-de-contencion-vista-2-80x80.webp 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:80px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CONFACH: Containment systems for securing ventilated facades against falls in the event of earthquake Principal\u00a0researchers: LUIS PALLAR\u00c9S RUBIO FRANCISCO JAVIER PALLAR\u00c9S RUBIO Team members: Funding Agency: Duration: 01\/09\/2023 &#8211; 31\/08\/2026 Reference: PID2022-141653OB-I00 Abstract Buildings fa\u00e7ades represent one of the fundamental components in any building.
