Façade anchorage for T-shaped towers with varying storey heights.
Ankara Etlik Integrated Health Campus
Our company completed the structural façade engineering works for the Ankara Etlik Integrated Health Campus. The scope included structural calculations for the anchor plates and fasteners supporting the aluminium stick curtain-wall system of the tower buildings, with particular focus on Towers T4, T5 and T6.
The engineering assessments addressed the complex, non-uniform façade geometry, T-shaped tower configuration and building dilatation joints. The façade support system was designed to provide safe and reliable load transfer while accommodating the varying storey heights and movement requirements of the building envelope.
