The use of structural glass in buildings is a growing trend, especially with glass beams,
which are increasingly used to support roofs, floors, and glazed facades. However, beams …

Researchers at the faculty of Architecture at Delft University of Technology have developed
an unconventional construction method for large span structural glass beams based on two …

This paper presents results of experimental and numerical investigations on the structural
behaviour of composite beams made of annealed glass panes and glass fibre reinforced …

The present paper is a study on how to obtain a ductile behaviour of a composite
transparent structural element. The structural element is constructed by gluing a steel strip to …

Glass beams are applied relatively frequently as transparent stiffeners for glass facades and
roofs. However, an ever returning design problem is the brittle behaviour and related …

The article presents an overview of research and applications of glass as structural material,
cooperating with other materials: steel, timber, glass or carbon fibre composites. It presents …

Nowadays modern architecture demands more transparent building elements. The
composite elements allow the best of the characteristics of two different materials to be …

Laminated glass (LG) is increasingly being used as load carrying components in modern
buildings thanks to its relatively good safety performance and aesthetic benefits. This paper …

Das spröde Verhalten von Glas verlangt innovative Lösungen, um die Standsicherheit von
gebrochenen Glasbauteilen sicherzustellen. Glasbauteile müssen im gebrochenen Zustand …

ABSTRACT At Delft University, structural glass researchers have developed an innovative
safety concept for glass beams. This safety concept shows some analogy with post …
