A spandrel is found on the exterior of the building in long horizontal pieces. These massive pieces often support a large amount of weight compared to wall panels.

What unit of measure would you use to measure a 10-story building?

The most appropriate unit of measure to use for measuring a 10-story building would be feet or meters. Each story of a building is typically around 10 feet high, so a 10-story building would be approximately 100 feet tall. Using a unit of measure like feet or meters allows for a more precise and accurate measurement of the building's height.


Is it better to have a building on soft sand or hard rock at the epicenter of an earthquake?

Now, see, if you built a building at the epicenter of an earthquake, no matter what what ground is there, the building will inevitably collapse. Near an earthquake's epicenter, though, is a different story. The best ground would definitely be solid, packed soil. The best foundation for a building would be isolated, unless you had a smaller building like a house, which would be better off with an anchored foundation. The best type of building would have steel frame crossties-only on a skyscraper or tall, large office building like in New York, though.

What is spandrel glass?

Spandrel glass is made by coating a vision glass with an opaque coating. The is prevents people from looking through the glass and seeing structural features inside the building. Spandrel glass is most often used in curtain wall construction where the glass and aluminum framing on a multi-story buiding passes on the exterior side of the floor slabs. A typical high-rise building will have a top-of-slab to top of slab distance of about 12 feet, but the slab-to-ceiling height is usually 8 feet. The 4 feet above the suspended ceiling contains the "spandrel beams" (the beams that hold up the floor slabs), electrical wiring, plumbig, mechanical ducts (heating and air conditioning) and fire suppression systems. Since most of these items are rather ugly, spandrel glass is used to high them from public view. Spandrel glass is not intended for use in a "vision glass" area. If you look at spandrel glass from the interior of a building looking out toward daylight, you will see pinholes and variations in the density of the coating.
