Load-bearing laminated glass (LG) elements take the form of simple members in buildings
(ie, columns, beams, and plates) or realize stand-alone assemblies, where glass and other …

Structural designers are nowadays supported by standards and guidelines to optimize the
mechanical performance and safety level of glass load-bearing elements and assemblies in …

This article covers the issues of applying structural glass in shaping all-glass architectural
objects. Glass, as a transparent material, is a source of inspiration for new architectural …

Glass is largely used in buildings, in the form of an innovative and versatile material. Both for
novel and existing constructions, secondary glass systems are frequently realized to interact …

In the present paper, a semi-active damping control approach is proposed for the resilient
design of façades subjected to extreme loads in the form of blast excitation. A 4 degrees of …

Current standards for seismic-resistant buildings provide recommendations for various
structural systems, but no specific provisions are given for structural glass. As such, the …

The energy-based method (EBM) has been improved as Energy-based Multimodal
Pushover Method (EMPM), and is introduced and verified to be effective and convenient for …

Given the growing spread of glass as a construction material, the knowledge of structural
response must be ensured, especially under dynamic accidental loads. In this regard, an …

Innovative hybrid structural components composed of cross-laminated timber frame and
laminated glass infill were tested to examine their response on the reverse-cyclic loading …

Although glass is frequently used as a structural component for buildings and infrastructure
(façades, floors, walkways, etc.), also in combination with other construction materials, the …
