In order to increase transparency in buildings, structural elements made of laminated glass
are being developed. The recent technological improvements in terms of material research …

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 …

The use of mild steel/tempered glass adhesive joints has increased rapidly over recent
years. Cohesive zone modelling (CZM) is used extensively for the numerical analysis and …

The vibration performance of pedestrian structures has attracted the attention of several
studies, especially with respect to unfavourable operational conditions or possible damage …

Mechanical performance assessment of load-bearing elements under ordinary design
actions is a priority when material degradation or even severe damage may be experienced …

Weathering and operational conditions, as known, have significant impact on typical
constituent materials which are used for many construction applications. Among others …

The mechanical behaviour of laminated glass plates and beams is affected in different ways
by the shear stiffness of interlayer materials. Polymeric interlayers are viscoelastic materials …

Many problems may arise due to the accidental breakage of glass layers in laminated glass
(LG) under extreme loads such as hard body impacts. This paper experimentally …

The primary goal of safety films for glass in buildings is to retrofit existing monolithic
elements and prevent, in the post‐fracture stage, any fall‐out of shards. Their added value is …

This article presents an experimental investigation of the rotational characteristics of a novel
hybrid laminated glass beam-column connection prototype. The testing of small-scale …
