28 Cyclone-resistant curtain walls Research project results Generic problems and gaps in standards Resistance to penetration by missile impact is determined by the interlayer type and the thickness of the interlayer. Building envelope failure caused by a typhoon event can have many consequences. One of the gaps identified by this research: need for improved testing of windows for wind driven rain. Biloxi, 2005 Despite the apparent integrity of the building envelope of MGM Mirage s Beau Rivage Hotel and Casino, after Hurricane Katrina there was extensive damage

29 Cyclone-resistant curtain walls Final remarks Tall buildings have always represented a symbol for a company, for the society: a landmark in the city. This kind of construction has to follow the best practices for typhoon resistant glazing because, in addition to interior damage, the potential effects to the external area due to storms is invaluable. The effectiveness of cyclone resistant building components in Miami-Dade County have been proved as hurricane resistant building constructions. The most desirable result is that a maximum time is given by local authorities themselves to align these requirements to the most developed countries on the specific issue. The best ambition of tall buildings is to have a new image for a collective function, serving as a refuge for local residents during disaster events.
