FACADE SECTIONS - TULANE, WALL RESIDENTIAL HALL
3 sections showing the conditions along a glass wall at the dormitory. this is a concrete structure with a post-tensioned slab (no beams); the column position is indicated with the grid line). note the condition at the foundation - turned slab + pile cap - this would be the same detail in steel and concrete structural systems. the glazing system is a "stick-glazing" .
axon of stick glazing system: the vertical mullions are attached to the slab edge. the column (building structure!) sits further back and does NOT support the facade, this means the slab has a cantilever.
