Due to its transparency today's architectures often rely on glazed façade solutions to execute the building envelope. During a seismic event, glass breakage and fall out can occur and threaten occupants and passers. So in earthquake prone regions this must be accounted in the design project; however, there is little research on the behaviour of glazed façades under seismic loads. This papers focus on the results of a project under development to ascertain right well dimensioned and adequate solutions to glass facades using point fixing systems under seismic or wind actions. Numerical analyses were performed, using finite element commercial software, the results are compared with simplified methods and conclusion are drawn.
