title = "Racking test evaluation of unitized curtain wall systems using glazing tapes",
abstract = "Results of cyclic racking tests on EN-WALL 7250 unitized curtain wall system mockups are presented. Mockups had overall dimensions of 180 in. wide by 156 in. high and were comprised of nine glass panels adhered to aluminum framing with 3M{\texttrademark} VHB{\texttrademark} structural glazing tape structural seals and structural sealant weatherseals. Racking tests followed the AAMA 501.6 protocol to characterize the performance of the system. Tests were carried out in a step-wise manner in order to stop the test after each drift increment to inspect the mockup for any damage. A complete description of the unitized system design is presented along with test observations.",
