Laminated glass is obtained by bonding two or more glass layers using a polymeric
interlayer. Compared to monolithic glass, laminated glass is beneficial in terms of post …

Several factors, including incentives associated with aesthetics, transparency, high
chemical, and mechanical durability, and its excellent corrosion resistance, have rapidly …

EU GDP and more than 50% of fixed capital formation. It is the largest single economic
activity and it is the biggest industrial employer in Europe. The sector employs directly …

Structural glass represents a relatively new solution for constructions, requiring appropriate
knowledge, but is largely used for facades, roofs, footbridges, etc. There, composite systems …

The designed fracture of laminated glass (LG) makes it useful for architectural, glazing,
automotive safety, photovoltaic, ultraviolet ray protection, and decorative applications. The …

Any reliable use of glass for structural purposes cannot neglect that its breakage may be
provoked by imponderable events, like impacts at critical spots or thermal shocks …

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 …

This paper investigates the effects of glass type (annealed, heat-strengthened and fully
tempered), reinforcement percentage (hollow section and full section) and beam size (1.5 …

An accurate material representation of polymeric interlayers in laminated glass panes has
proved fundamental for a reliable prediction of their response in both static and dynamic …

An experimental investigation is presented on the mechanical response of progressively
damaged Laminated Glass (LG) beams assembled with modified polyvinyl butyral (PVB) …
