Development of an Analytical Method to determine Cavity Pressure in Cold-Bent Insulating Glass Units

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...

Thin Glass as Cold Bent Laminated Panels in Architectural Applications

Glass has been used for centuries. Originally to create weapons, jewellery and decorative ceramics. Nowadays as windows, reagent bottles and electronic devices. It’s only in the last two centuries that there has been substantial development of float glass. The resulting products provide comfort, protection, energy reduction, security and...
