Detailing Deadline is coming up and.....



I'm confused on the connection detail for my "wrapping" components on my exterior. The wrapping members will only appear to be continuous pieces throughout the structure rather than physically being connected from exterior to interior - I can imagine this would have caused a lot of thermal bridging problems. The way I have figured it thus far is that these pieces that will be made up of a vertical truss system (welded connections) and then wrapped in the aluminum panel cladding - also welded to the truss structure? The part I am not sure about is the interface between the interior and exterior and how the connection to the interior columns/floor slabs can happen through the exterior wall structure. Where I do not have these panels I imagine the rest of my facade to be a curtain wall.
