ISO 22502:2020 PDF Download

ISO 22502:2020 standard provides guidelines for the design of connections used in cladding systems of reinforced concrete frame structures. These connections are typically used in single-storey precast buildings, but can also be adapted for use in multi-storey buildings with appropriate modifications.

The standard primarily covers fastening devices made of steel elements or sliding connectors. It also considers dissipative devices that exhibit friction or plastic behavior. Additionally, other types of common supports and bond connections are included in the standard where necessary.

It is important to note that the standard prohibits the use of fastening types or connections with different characteristics unless comparable experimental and analytical studies have been conducted to provide the necessary data and verify the design methodology for that specific type of connection. This ensures that only proven and reliable connection methods are used in cladding systems.
