Design Guide 22, titled "Facade Attachments to Steel-Framed Buildings," provides guidance on the design of facade attachments for steel-framed structures. The main aim of this standard is to aid engineers in achieving cost-effective and structurally sound slab edge details for steel frames. Additionally, the guide emphasizes the importance of durability and ensuring that the designed facade system meets specific performance requirements.

This standard serves as a valuable resource for engineers involved in the design and construction of steel-framed buildings with facade systems. It offers guidance on various aspects such as material selection, design considerations, loadings, connections, and construction techniques. The ultimate goal is to ensure that the facade attachments are designed and constructed in a manner that enhances the overall performance and longevity of the building.
