The document describes the elevation of the Bukhari-Sehar commercial building, featuring a design that includes a curtain wall, glass, and aluminum composite panels. It also provides links to various social media platforms related to Aluco Glass.
The document discusses curtain wall systems. It begins with an introduction defining a curtain wall system as a non-structural outer covering that keeps weather and occupants in/out. The history notes that curtain walls emerged as exterior walls became non-load bearing. It describes the components of curtain walls including mullions, transoms, glass, and other materials. Functions are listed as protecting interiors from the environment while providing lighting and occupant comfort. The document also covers installation systems, loads, maintenance, and provides case studies of curtain wall implementations.
This document provides information about curtain walls:
- Curtain walls are lightweight exterior wall systems that are installed outside the structural frame of a building. They resist wind and rain loads and accommodate building movement.
- The main components of a curtain wall are vertical mullions and horizontal transoms. Mullions transfer the dead load of the curtain wall.
- There are two main types of curtain wall systems: unitized systems where pre-assembled wall units are shipped to the site, and stick systems where individual components are assembled on site. Unitized systems have more quality control while stick systems are less expensive to ship and install.
A curtain wall system is a non-structural exterior that protects buildings from weather while allowing for lightweight materials, helping control costs. This system transfers horizontal loads to the main structure and is designed to resist environmental forces while incorporating aesthetic elements, typically using aluminum framing and glass infills. However, challenges such as air and water leakage, misalignment, and careful handling during installation can complicate their effectiveness.

A Cluster-Based Trusted Secure Multipath Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc N...IJCNCJournal
油
Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a self-organizing and flexible system. MANET systems manage sensitive data from many distinct applications in various domains. Its dynamic nature increases its vulnerability to numerous types of security threats. Many of the present approaches using indirect approaches provide false approximations of trust degrees. It is significantly required a good routing system that meets Quality of Service (QoS) standards and enhances network performance. In this paper purposed cluster-based trustworthy safe multipath routing (CTSMP-Routing) for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Load balancing challenge is addressed by using a modified proportional topology optimization (MPTO) approach using geographical data related to network nodes. The Enhanced Seeker Search Optimization (ESSO) approach is used to compute trust degrees after the clustering phase considering numerous network constraints including node mobility, received signal strength, energy consumption, and cooperation rate. Assumed to be the service node, the node showing the highest degree of trust manages inter-cluster routing. We have developed a hybrid soft computing approach termed the multi-layer deep recurrent neural network (ML-DRNN) to enhance the optimal path-finding process. This method selects, among many routes between source and destination nodes, the best one quickly. The outcomes of this paper demonstrate that CTSMP-Routing provides effective protection against several attack paths within the MANET environment and displays better performance in regard to quality of service (QoS) requirements.
