English

Subject field(s)
  • Thermal Insulation
  • Doors, Windows and Openings (Building Elements)
  • Metal Finishing Work (Constr.)
CONT

The holding frame is built in steel carbon and other materials, such as union joints, ceramics and fibrosilicate plates, to cause breakage of the thermal bridge between the two layers of glazing, in accordance with the tested and officially certified prototypes. The glass-frame set so designed not only meets the requirements of the certifications performed at official laboratories, but at the same also achieves excellent mechanical functioning in a cold state.

CONT

Roller Star has designed an extensive range of housing units to give you a problem-free window installation. Pre-finished and rolled aluminium housing units, in extruded aluminium and in PVC, and combinations of extruded aluminium and PVC for installations where heat bridge breakage is required.

Key term(s)
  • breakage of the heat bridge

French

Domaine(s)
  • Isolation thermique
  • Ouvertures (Éléments du bâtiment)
  • Menuiserie métallique
DEF

Principe technique qui permet d'isoler thermiquement la face extérieure de la face intérieure d'un profilé en aluminium. Cette technique souvent optionnelle permet d'obtenir la bonne isolation d'une fenêtre en aluminium et d'éviter le phénomène de condensation.

CONT

En Europe les profilés aluminium à rupture de pont thermique sont obligatoires dans le bâtiment depuis plus d'un an, pour des questions de confort et d'économie d'énergie. Le principe, simple, consiste à empêcher les échanges thermiques extérieur / intérieur dus à la conductivité naturelle de l'aluminium. [...] La rupture de pont thermique sera réalisée à l'aide de barrettes en polyamide, matériau isolant, fixées par une technique très spécifique de sertissage, pour séparer la partie de la fenêtre ou de la porte exposée à l'extérieur, de la partie côté intérieur. N'étant plus conducteur, le châssis aluminium devient alors insensible aux variations climatiques. Autre avantage de cette technique : elle permet la bi-coloration du châssis, avec par exemple un côté extérieur en blanc et une face intérieure de couleur.

CONT

La performance thermique des fenêtres en aluminium commence par l'utilisation de profilés à rupture de pont thermique conformes à la norme XP-P 24-401.

PHR

Fenêtre à rupture de pont thermique.

PHR

Aluminium sans rupture de pont thermique.

Record 5 1988-01-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tunnels, Overpasses and Bridges
CONT

Suspension Bridges.... There are two variations of this type of bridge.... The second variation is to be found in San Francisco's... Bay bridge, which includes two 700-m. suspension spans end to end. Here the two pairs of stays on the adjoining ends of the suspension spans are fixed to a common anchorage. The horizontal components of the tensions in these cables are equal and opposite so far as the dead weight is concerned and so cancel each other out. The common pier is therefore primarily a gravity anchorage holding the combined vertical pull from the two pairs of stays.
