The structural efficiency of transparent façades can be increased by achieving a composite
structural behaviour between the framing elements and the glass panes. The use of suitable …

During the service life of a Structural Sealant Glazing (SSG) facade, its silicone bond is
simultaneously exposed to climatic and mechanical loads. Current durability assessment …

Current design standards and technical guidelines regarding structural adhesive glass-
metal connections demonstrate only a narrow applicability window, resulting in constraints …

Adhesive connections experience in recent years an increasing popularity in the field of
structural glass. Generally, linear adhesive joints are positioned on the surface of glass …

Glass curtain walls, while broadly used as a building facade, are vulnerable to extreme
winds. Curtain-wall failures in major wind events lead to substantial economic losses, and …

Reliable performance of structural sealant glazing (SSG) systems is necessary to utilise
advantages of SSG in glass facades. Conventional durability assessment of structural …

Several research studies have been completed in the past fifteen years on glass panes
adhesively bonded to a metal framing with the aim to enhance the structural potential of the …

Silicone adhesive joints with selected metal substrates under shear loading. Silicone
adhesives, which are generally used for Structural Sealant Glazing Systems, are as well …
