The consistent architectural transparency demand in buildings is highly promoting the
structural use of glass, in combination or to replace load‐bearing components made of …

In architecture, there is a growing trend to include more transparency in structures. To
increase the transparency, structural elements such as columns, beams, floors and roofs can …

Basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) has been gradually used in buildings or structures to
resist high-speed impact and explosion loading because of its good dynamic performance …

Reinforcement strategies have been developed to prevent catastrophic failures of glass
structures after cracking. In this context, the composite action between glass and …

The use of hybrid and composite solutions for structural applications represents a common
approach for the development of safe design principles. Consolidated examples exist for …

Automotive laminated glass is generally composed of two pieces of outer glass layers and
one piece of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer. Its impact fracture behavior is very important …

Laminated and hybrid glass systems are typically realized by bonding or joining together
several structural components and materials. Their structural performance and safe design …

Taking advantage of two full-scale experimental tests carried out on square hollow glass
columns under low velocity impacts, the paper aims to further assess via Finite Element …

Polyvinyl butyral-laminated glass has been extensively applied to automotive windshields to
reduce the severity of head injuries resulting from pedestrian–vehicle crashes. Thus …

In this paper, a Finite-Element (FE) numerical investigation is carried out on laminated glass
beams with Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) adhesively bonded post-tensioning …
