Production and Testing of Kiln-cast Glass Components for an Interlocking, Dry-assembled Transparent Bridge

A pedestrian glass bridge, located at the TU Delft campus site, is being designed by the TU Delft Glass & Transparency Lab. Specifically, the arch-formed bridge consists of cast glass, dry-assembled, interlocking components. To validate the shape of the components, glass mock-ups in 1:2 scale are kiln-cast and tested. This paper follows the...
