Calorimetric and visual characterization of full-scale facade mock-ups
The goal of the test is to determine dynamic characteristics of a façade system in out-of-plane direction and their changes under long lasting vibrations with large deformations. The characteristics allows to design the façade and check its behavior under the most dangerous scenario when a structure works in resonance during forced harmonic vibrations, simulating extreme cases of strong dynamic loads (wind, earthquake).
Xenon test is to determine the durability of the product performed by aging test caused by full-spectrum sunlight and rain.
UV radiation test is to determine the durability of the product performed by aging test chamber with UV fluorescent lamps.
The purpose of keeping the samples in a climatic chamber (T+H) is to determine the effect that a given temperature and humidity have on the material at a given time.
