Louter, P.C. (author)This dissertation investigates the structural aspects of reinforced glass beams. The concept of these beams, which are intended for building applications, is to provide redundancy even if the glass is broken. This redundancy is obtained through a small reinforcement section that is bonded at the tensile edge of the glass beam. Upon glass failure...doctoral thesis 2011

Louter, P.C. (author), Leung, Calvin (author), Kolstein, M.H. (author), Vambersky, J.N.J.A. (author)This paper investigates the possibilities of pultruded glass fibre rods as embedded reinforcement in SentryGlas (SG) laminated glass beams. To do so, a series of pullout tests, to investigate the bond strength of the rods to the laminate, and a series of beam tests, to investigate the post-breakage response of the beams, have been performed....conference paper 2010

Louter, P.C. (author), Graaf, van de Anne (author), Rots, J.G. (author)This paper investigates whether a novel computational sequentially linear analysis (SLA) technique, which is especially developed for modeling brittle material response, is applicable for modeling the structural response of metal reinforced glass beams. To do so, computational SLA results are compared with experimental results of four-point...conference paper 2010

Aanhaanen, J.A.M. (author)The Master’s thesis has focussed on the stability of a facetted shell structure. The research contributes to a Ph.D. research currently carried out at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), which investigates the possibilities to design and build a shell structure from flat glass panels. The structure is a so-called plate (facetted)...master thesis 2008
