Maachi, Younes (author)
Very little research has been done on the potential use of glass bottles in a structural system. Knowledge gathered from past projects showed that individuals or communities usually tend to create structures with glass bottles with a cementitious material, which is usually concrete or mortar. Under vertical compressive loading, the corresponding...

Cold-bent insulating glass units (IGU) have the potential to be one of the answers to current needs and wishes of modern and sustainable architecture. Curved glass is stiffer against out-of-plane loads and therefore the structural behaviour of cold-bent IGU’s is different compared to flat IGU’s. Structural behaviour of flat glass in buildings is...

Saleh, Charbel (author)
The research of this thesis focuses on 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 in computers, tablets and smartphones, is known for its lightweight, flexibility, durability, high bending strength and...

Research and development in additive manufacturing with concrete has become more widespread over the last decade. The processes developed range from concrete extrusion, to digital fabrication of formworks and the unification of formwork and reinforcement. Although they enable the production of increasingly material-efficient structures, the...

Owing to the rapid development of construction materials in building industry, a tendency towards smart and light design solutions using modern architectural principles is growing noticeably. The ultra-thin glass is a relatively new material which could be replaced with the thicker glasses in traditional windows to create a new concept for the...

This research is primarily aimed at getting to know the material. Thin-glass is a product of recent developments within the glass-production industry, which has not yet found its place in the building industry. The material is still undergoing innovative changes to adapt it for use in various applications. We have not yet visualized or...

Transparency and translucency are essential features of modern architecture. Glass products have been widely used in facade applications and recently their use has expanded to the load-bearing structure due their large in-plane compressive strength. However, the fragile nature of glass requires special treatment and attention to detail to avoid...

Mureau, Michou (author)
Glass is a commonly used material for façades and roofs. Recently even structural glass elements have been developed and the application of glass in structural elements is becoming more common. The ongoing development of new glass types and different production and processing methods resulted in the manufacturing of thin chemically strengthened...

Koenen, Willem (author)
For this thesis an additively manufactured(AM) glass connection was researched. The aim was to see if it was possible to use plastic based AM for end use parts in the façade. This was done in three parts, which are presented in this thesis. The first part consists of research in all currently available technology that could be used to create...

With the rapid development of research and production techniques, the construction industry shifts increasingly towards more demanding and ambitious projects. As a consequence, new types of use for traditional building materials emerge to create more prestigious buildings. As a relatively new product, ultra-thin glass constitutes a promising...

Nowadays it is a top priority in the building sector to reduce the energy use and carbon emissions. One of the most important strategies to reduce the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in buildings is by increasing the thermal performance of its envelope. To achieve this, a low thermal transmission should be established. Glazed surfaces typically...

This report discusses the design analysis process of designing a maximum transparent roof for a stadium in order to create the most optimal semi indoor stadium climate. To conduct such research, the following main question had to be asked: How can a maximised transparent roof for the Khalifa International Stadium (KIS) in Qatar, with efficient...

Hanenberg, N.J.F. (author)
The use of structural glass has increased lately, due to the higher demands for transparency in modern architecture. Therefore, the role of glass changes from a mere transparent function (used in windows only) to a function in which the glass is contributing to the bearing structure as well. Because of the fragile nature of glass, it is...

To obtain free form geometry for the roof structure, bamboo canes are pre-bent. Thin glass is also cold bent and cladded. The tolerances that occur in bamboo construction are accounted by this flexibility of thin glass. Hence bending behavior of both the materials is studied. Different types of cladding options and connection systems are...

Ribeiro Silveira, R. (author)
This research studies the use of thin glass on adaptive facade panels with the objective of increasing the knowledge of the use of this material in the built environment. Thin glass is a material that is harder, stronger and flexible than common glass. As some of the main current challenges faced in glass design are material use and building...

Smilde, J.A. (author)
The conversation about the restoration materialization of historic buildings is an ongoing debate. Additions are allowed only if they do not detract from the interesting parts of the building, integrate harmoniously, yet are distinguishable to prevent architectural falsification of the monument. Completely transparent additions to historic...

Due to the increasing demand of transparency in buildings, it is no longer unusual to apply transparent elements into the bearing structure. Glass is a strong but very brittle material, which means safety is rather problematic should it break. Safety is an issue that has to be improved before glass can be considered suitable for structural...

Rademakers, M. (author)
Transparency and light are hot items in building design and massive structural elements often form an unwelcome necessity for architects. The structural use of glass could be an ideal solution to this problem, but as yet it has not been widely applied. The problem is that although glass is a transparent, strong and stiff material, it is feared...
