Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

Curtain walling — Inter-storey displacement resistance —
Test method
1 Scope
This document specifies the test method to evaluate the inter-storey displacement resistance of curtain
walling to three-directional seismic or wind actions when curtain walling is subjected to repeated
movement.
The test method allows to determine, depending on the axes of the displacement imposed:
— horizontal inter-storey displacement in-plane resistance;
— horizontal inter-storey out-plane displacement resistance;
— vertical inter-storey in-plane displacement resistance;
— combined inter-storey displacement resistance.
The test method can be used to evaluate the inter-storey displacement either when it is a design
requirement or to assess the relative displacement accommodated by the curtain walling assembly.
This test can be addressed manually or automatically depending on the size and/or the shape of the
specimen.

3.1

vertical dimension measured from the centre of a floor slab to the centre of the next consecutive floor
slab, represented by the letter H in mm

3.2
inter-storey displacement
relative displacement caused for example by seismic actions or wind between two adjacent floor slabs
in horizontal in-plane axis (Y-dir.), out-plane axis (X-dir.) and vertical in-plane axis (Z-dir.), as shown in
Figure 1
Note 1 to entry: For the purpose of this standard the inter-storey displacement, which is the lateral displacement
within a storey, is to be controlled. The inter-storey displacement should be limited to restrict damage to non-
structural elements such as glass panels and curtain walling for moderate earthquake ground motions and to
control failure.
Note 2 to entry: For control of life-threatening damage in occupied buildings at the ULS, the inter-storey
displacement should be limited to certain values, depending on the materials of construction, the height of the
building, and the use of the building (see ISO 3010).

inter-storey displacement resistance
