I-Digital Building Components (DBC), umakhi wensimbi eyakhiwe ebandayo (i-CFS) yephrojekthi ye-Mayo West Tower e-Phoenix, e-Arizona, yaklonyeliswa nge-2023 Cold Formed Steel Engineers Institute (CFSEI) Award for Excellence in Design (Izinkonzo/Izinsizakalo Zikamasipala”) . ngeqhaza lakhe ekwandiseni indawo yesibhedlela. Izixazululo ezintsha zokuklama zama-facade.
I-Mayosita iyisakhiwo esinezitezi eziyisikhombisa esicishe sibe ngamamitha-skwele angu-13,006 (140,000 sq ft) wamaphaneli ezindonga zamakhethini e-CFS enziwe ngaphambili aklanyelwe ukwandisa uhlelo lomtholampilo futhi andise umthamo wesibhedlela esikhona. Isakhiwo sebhilidi siqukethe ukhonkolo emphemeni wensimbi, uhlaka lwensimbi kanye namaphaneli odonga angaphandle angawuthwali umthwalo we-CFS.
Kule phrojekthi, i-Pangolin Structural yasebenza ne-DBC njengonjiniyela oqeqeshiwe we-CFS. I-DBC ikhiqize cishe amaphaneli odonga enziwe ngaphambili angu-1,500 anamafasitela afakwe ngaphambili, cishe angu-7.3 m (24 ft) ubude no-4.6 m (15 ft) ukuphakama.
Esinye isici esiphawulekayo seMayota ubukhulu bamaphaneli. 610 mm (24 in.) ugqinsi lwephaneli yodonga oluno-152 mm (6 in.) I-Insulation yangaphandle kanye nesistimu yokuqeda (EIFS) ebekwe ku-152 mm (6 in.) kuma-J-beams angu-305 mm (12 in.) ngenhla kwekholomu enezikulufu . . Ekuqaleni kwephrojekthi, ithimba labaklami be-DBC lalifuna ukuhlola izindlela ezihlukene zokwenza udonga lwefasitela olude olufakwe ngaphambili olungu-610 mm (24 in), 7.3 m (24 ft) olude olufakwe ngaphambili. Ithimba linqume ukusebenzisa u-305 mm (amayintshi angu-12) isendlalelo sokuqala sodonga, lase libeka imishayo engu-J ngokuvundlile kuleso sendlalelo ukuze sinikeze usekelo ukuze kuthuthwe ngokuphephile futhi kuphakamise lawa mapaneli amade.
Ukuxazulula inselele yokusuka odongeni oluyi-610 mm (24 in.) ukuya odongeni olumisiwe oluyi-152 mm (6 in.), i-DBC ne-Pangolin bakha amaphaneli njengezingxenye ezihlukene futhi bawahlanganisela ndawonye ukuze bawaphakamise njengeyunithi.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, amaphaneli odonga ngaphakathi kwezimbobo zefasitela ashintshwa kwafakwa amaphaneli odonga awugqinsi angu-610 mm (24 in) odonga oluwugqinsi oluyi-102 mm (4 in). Ukuze kunqotshwe le nkinga, i-DBC ne-Pangolin banweba ukuxhuma ngaphakathi kwe-stud engu-305 mm (12 in) base bengeza i-stud engu-64 mm (2.5 in) njengesigcwalisi ukuze kuqinisekiswe uguquko olushelelayo. Le ndlela yonga izindleko zekhasimende ngokunciphisa ububanzi bezintambo zibe ngu-64 mm (2.5 in.).
Esinye isici esiyingqayizivele se-Mayosita i-sill etshekile, etholakala ngokwengeza ipuleti eligobile eligobile elingama-64 mm (2.5 in.) elinezikhonkwane endaweni yendabuko engu-305 mm (12 in.) kaloliwe.
Amanye amaphaneli odonga kule phrojekthi akheke ngendlela ehlukile eno-“L” kanye no-“Z” emakhoneni. Isibonelo, udonga luyi-9.1 m (30 ft) ubude kodwa luyi-1.8 m (6 ft) ububanzi kuphela, olunamakhona anomumo othi “L” anwebeka ngo-0.9 m (3 ft) ukusuka kuphaneli eyinhloko. Ukuqinisa ukuxhumana phakathi kwamaphaneli amakhulu namancanyana, i-DBC ne-Pangolin zisebenzisa izikhonkwane ezinamabhokisi namabhande e-CFS njengama-X-brace. Lawa maphaneli anomumo ongu-L nawo ayedinga ukuxhunywa ku-batten encane kuphela engu-305 mm (12 in) ububanzi, enwebeka ngo-2.1 m (7 ft) ukusuka esakhiweni esikhulu. Isixazululo kwaba ukubeka lawa maphaneli abe yizingqimba ezimbili ukuze kube lula ukufaka.
Ukuklama uthango kwaletha enye inselele eyingqayizivele. Ukuze kuvunyelwe ukunwetshwa okuqondile kwesibhedlela esikhathini esizayo, amalunga ephaneli akhiwa ezindongeni ezinkulu futhi abhawushelwa kumaphaneli aphansi ukuze kube lula ukuhlakazeka kwesikhathi esizayo.
Umakhi obhalisiwe wale phrojekthi yi-HKS, Inc. kanti unjiniyela wezakhiwo obhalisiwe yi-PK Associates.
