How is it's static structure
Natural and imposed loads
affect the ReBLOCK system
Vertical loads from:
- The roof construction itself
- Snow on top of the roof
- Wind suction
Vertical loads will causes the wall to collapse or lift up.
This is counteracted
by these facts:
Vertical loads from above are distributed through the vertical columns in the hinge components within the ReBLOCK system.
The imposed load from the roof structure itself and the mechanically tensioned roof anchors integrated into the ReBLOCK system prevent wind suction from lifting the system from its location.
Horizontal loads from:
- Wind pressure
- Wind suction
Horizontal loads will cause the wall to bend.
This is counteracted
by these facts:
The imposed load from the roof structure itself causes a compressing effect on the wall, thus stiffening it and:
The mechanically tensioned roof anchors fixating wall sections as firm columns prevents it from bending.
Shear loads from:
- Wind pressure
- Wind suction
