Influence of Structural Design of Balcony Panels on the Course and the Size of Thermal Bridges

Abstract:

This paper is focused on the static and thermal protection issues of the balcony panels design. The projecting part of the balcony panel, which is from a static point of view an overhanging end of a simply supported beam, is exposed to the direct effects of climate variations. Insulation of projecting part of the balcony panel is simple, but rarely applicable in practice, mainly due to a thickness of this cantilever structure with thermal insulation and balcony floor structure and therefore difficult height arrangement at the entrance to the balcony and problematic realization of the facade. Therefore, thermal insulation is usually placed at the edge of a single-leaf masonry or in the place of thermal insulation, which is place of the biggest static loading on the overhanging part of balcony panel. Possible solutions of contradictory requirements of statics and thermal protection and the impact of structural design on the course and the size of thermal bridges in the building envelope are shown on the analysis of balcony panels.
