In façade structures, adhesively bonded connections between glass panels and metallic
substructures represent an attractive alternative to mechanical fixation devices. Apart from
positive aspects regarding the construction's energy efficiency and aesthetics, the uniform
load transfer reduces stress concentrations in the adherends, which is beneficial especially
regarding brittle materials like glass. Structural silicone sealants are generally used for these
kind of applications due to their excellent adhesion on glass and their exceptional resistance …
