The external cladding of prefabricated industrial and commercial buildings is often constructed using precast concrete panels. In Italy, it is common practice to design such structures without thoroughly considering the interaction between the structural frame and the cladding panels. These panels, typically connected to columns or beams, are generally treated as suspended masses: they contribute to the overall dynamic response of the building but are not considered to significantly influence its lateral stiffness.
