Exploring the potential of the critical shear crack theory for reinforced and post-tensioned glass beams
Initial analysis and experiments
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 w

Flexural behaviour of post-tensioned glass beams
Experimental and analytical study of three beam typologies
The concept of post-tensioned glass beams builds on the concrete analogy of the reinforced glass beams. By additionally prestressing the reinforcement in a post-tensioned system, a compressive pre-stress is applied on the glass, enhancing the initial fracture resistance in bendin

Post-tensioning of glass beams
Analytical determination of the allowable pre-load
The effectiveness of post-tensioning in enhancing the fracture resistance of glass beams depends on the level of compressive pre-stress introduced at the glass edge surface that will in service be exposed to tensile stresses induced by bending. Maximum pre-load that can be applie

This article presents the metric avoided carbon for the reuse of aluminium unitised curtain wall façades, that are to be taken from a donor building an applied onto a receiving building. The metric is used to compare seven proposed circular reuse strategies, each showing a differ

Circularity of existing aluminium unitised curtain wall facades
Unlocking Value from Waste
The circular potential of existing aluminium curtain wall facades is investigated in this study. The focus is primarily on reuse, refurbishment and re-manufacturing, aiming to raise the value of materials that have not yet reached the end of their service life. The increasing con
