| Abstract | ||||
| Building skin has a major role in protecting the building interior from several elements. The installation of these skins can be easily degraded by poor installation and low-quality site working conditions. Also, a great many factors and activities that impact the quality of installation must be considered during installation. On the other hand, the success of installing building skin depends on the well-implemented implementation of the different installation methods and consideration of the factors that impact the quality of the installation, which lead to decreased material waste and increased skin quality and energy efficiency. This paper reviews the literature studies and results of a case study involving defects in the skin of hotel towers during installation, which resulted in many failures that caused waste of time and materials. Finally, the paper will propose a framework for implementing building skin during installation, specifying the activities and factors that must be considered with proper and timely communication between the members of the project team, which is an essential requirement of a successful installation to achieve a successful project. The friction angle in the direct shear test is less than in the triaxial test by 1.00 to 2.20 degrees. | ||||
