How do ACP panels perform in seismic zone constructions?
In seismic regions, facades must absorb lateral and vertical movements without panel failure. ACP panels, when installed with sliding clips and flexible anchors, are well suited to these demands. PRANCE uses seismic-rated clip systems that lock panels under normal conditions but allow controlled slip under drift.
Anchor brackets to the structural wall feature rubberized vibration isolators and spring-loaded connections. These components decouple the panel from abrupt tremors, reducing stress on the composite material. Rails and clips are designed to accommodate ±20 mm movement, preventing buckling or pull-out.
Panels are arranged with uniform joint widths and slip-joint details that serve as movement relief zones. Interlocking edges maintain façade continuity while allowing individual panels to shift. Engineering calculations—based on local code drift limits—guide bracket spacing and clip capacity. This holistic approach delivers ACP facades that remain intact, safe, and functional after seismic events.
