International Conference on the Architectural and Structural Application of Glass

Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings collects the conference articles presented at the international bi-annual Challenging Glass Conference and focuses on the Architectural and Structural Application of Glass.@en
This paper presents a study on post-tensioned glass beams in a statically indeterminate system. In order to increase the safety of structural glass beams, ductile reinforcement can be added to glass beam sections providing secondary load carrying mechanism in case of glass breaka ...

Due to their increasing use in contemporary architecture, the lateral torsional buckling performance of laminated structural glass beams represents a topic of great interest for researchers. Although several analytical models and design approaches have been recently proposed, var ...
During their lifetime, glass panels are repetitively exposed to thermal stresses. These thermal stresses result from temperature differences within the panel, which most notably cause the edges of the panels to be stressed in tension. When these thermal stresses exceed the glass ...
For the past three decades, glass has become more frequently used for secondary construction elements in façade glazing, as well as for structural elements. In the latter case, the edge strength becomes an important issue when designing a structural glass beam or a façade fin. Di ...
