Oxide glasses are among the oldest known types of man-made materials (Harden 1968);
they have become ubiquitous in modern life, from windows, containers and tableware to …

This paper investigates the structural response of laminated glass beams under combined
fire-exposure and sustained in-plane loading. This is done by means of experimental testing …

End-of-life insulating glass units (IGUs) continue to follow a linear, wasteful path from
renovation and demolition sites into landfills or low-value recycling. To get one step closer to …

The present study gives a new insight into the use of laser ablation technology as a robust
tool for fracture mechanical and strength examination of scratched architectural glass (soda …

The paper deals with the phenomenon of post-breakage capacity in point-fixed laminated
glass elements and reports the results of an ongoing research project aimed at developing a …

Glass is an integral part of the facades industry. It is not easy to conceive contemporary
architecture without using glass material. However, due to complex architectural design …

This paper investigates the seismic behavior of a glass curtain wall system under various
loading scenarios. Experimental set‐ups and approaches were developed to test full‐scale …

This paper focuses on the experimental and numerical study of the performance of point-
fixed connections in structural glass panels. For that purpose, an experimental program of in …

The present paper describes a method for non-destructive testing of the glass strength.
Square 10× 10 cm 2 samples of annealed float glass was inflicted with a controlled defect in …

Abstract MgO–Al2O3–SiO2 (MAS) glass has widespread applications due to the excellent
chemical stability and mechanical strength. Accommodation of macroscopic properties …
