Tension Rod Truss Glass Facade System from Austvision
Austvision Tension Truss System
The Austvision Tension Rod Truss Glass Facade System is supplied with suspended point fixed glass
with high tension stainless steel vertical rod trusses as wind bracing. The tension rod system utilises
two pre-stressed catenaries that carry inward and outward wind loading. Loads are transferred from
the glass through Austfix countersunk screws to compression struts.
The trusses are tensioned between the concrete floor slab and the steel roof structure. The system
pretension loading and sizing of the tension rod is determined from the thermal load, dead load,
creep, seismic loading and wind loading conditions specific to the supporting structure.
