Theodoropoulou, P. (author), Brembilla, E. (author), Schipper, H.R. (author), Louter, P.C. (author)Smart buildings are equipped with automated control systems that provide a comfortable indoor environment, aiming simultaneously at energy savings. Control systems for shading devices applied in practice are mostly driven by a rule-based approach, that is usually tested under simplified conditions and hence its effectiveness in complex real-life...journal article 2024

Pfarr, Daniel (author), Louter, P.C. (author)The use of thin glass promises to enable a variety of construction industry pursuits. In addition to the ecological benefits of more efficient use of resources, architects can anticipate new design freedoms with thin glass. Based on the sandwich theory, the flexible thin glass can be combined with a 3D-printed open-cell polymer core to form a...journal article 2023

Alkisaei, H. (author), Maachi, Y. (author), Justino de Lima, C. (author), Noteboom, C. (author), Louter, P.C. (author)Container glass is omnipresent and reuse can be observed all around the world. It can even be reused for the construction of structural components for buildings of which several examples exist around the world. However, research on the reuse of glass for structural components seems lacking. Therefore, this paper investigates the potential of...conference paper 2023

Pfarr, Daniel (author), Louter, P.C. (author)Thin glass is currently mainly used for displays on electronic devices, but it also offers interesting characteristics for architectural applications. Due to its high strength and small thickness the glass can easily be bent in architecturally<br/>appealing curvatures, while the small glass thickness (≤ 2 mm) offers a significant weight...conference paper 2023

Cupać, Jagoda (author), Louter, P.C. (author), Nussbaumer, Alain (author)In the evolution of structural glass beam elements, the requirements for post-fracture load bearing capacity and safe failure behaviour have led to the development of reinforced and post-tensioned beams. Maximum bending capacity in the post-fracture state is normally associated with extensive yielding of the reinforcement, providing a safe...journal article 2023

(author), Overend, M. (author)Since the beginning of 2021, CEN/TS 19100 Design of Glass Structures has been available in its first three parts. The fourth part is expected soon. This Technical Specification of the European standards organisation CEN is as a pre-standard of a corresponding future Eurocode. These documents constitute the first ever comprehensive design code...review 2023

Bedon, Chiara (author), Louter, P.C. (author)Purpose: Glass material is largely used for load-bearing components in buildings. For this reason, standardized calculation methods can be used in support of safe structural design in common loading and boundary conditions. Differing from earlier literature efforts, the present study elaborates on the load-bearing capacity, failure time and...journal article 2023

Rehde, Franziska (author), Heinrich, Maria (author), Schmölder, Alexandra (author), Lohr, Katharina (author), Louter, P.C. (author)Glass surfaces are characteristic elements of façades and make a significant contribution to the authenticity of architectural monuments. Glass as a material is considered an important testimony of its time. Depending on the manufacturing process, it differs both in surface and material composition. The period of high modernism (ca. 1880-1970)...conference paper 2022

Belis, Jan (author), Bos, Freek (author), Louter, P.C. (author)We gradually emerge from two difficult years of the covid-19 pandemic raging through the world in waves of constantly changing intensities. The associated uncertainties really put the ‘challenging’ into Challenging Glass this time. Still, some of our peers are not able to join us in Ghent, and they will be sorely missed. Nevertheless, we are...conference paper 2022

Möckel, Maximilian (author), Lohr, Katharina (author), Louter, P.C. (author)All-glass structures have become increasingly popular with architects and builders in recent years. Glass surfaces are becoming larger and more impressive, while connections are being decreased to obtain maximum transparency. The supporting structure of glass facades, glass roofs or walk-on glazing is mostly made of metal. One of the reasons for...conference paper 2022

Zaccaria, Marco (author), Peters, Timon (author), Ebert, Jan (author), Lucca, Nerio (author), Schneider, Jens (author), Louter, P.C. (author)The bending strength of flat glass panels including the effects of their edges, is commonly determined by means of the four-point bending test method. This is an established and reliable method. However, when testing glass thinner than 3 mm, large deformation may occur. This means that the calculated stresses might not correspond to the...journal article 2022

Saleh, Charbel Miled Nohra (author), Louter, P.C. (author), Turrin, M. (author)This paper investigates the stiffness and the durability of a composite panel that consists of thin glass as outer layers and a 3D printed core element from recycled PET. Thin alumino-silicate glass, mostly used for displays in computers, tablets and smartphones, is known for its flexibility, durability and high bending strength. However, for...conference paper 2020
