| Thin glass offers a promising prospect for lightweight fa莽ades with reduced use of raw materials, also opening up entirely new perspectives for architectural聽expression.
| We have seen rapid expansion in the last decade of laminated glass design using modern analytical and computational methods.
| Thin glass is the product of choice for electronic device displays. This glass is commonly expensive aluminosilicate glass whose properties are significantly enhanced when subjected to chemical tempering.
| Increasing demands on security in an uncertain world have to be considered additionally by the building industry. Nowadays, largesized glazing in the building envelope cannot disregard safety requirements.
| This paper proposes system concepts and fabrication methods for the use of ultra-thin glass in facades.
| In several standards such as EN 1288 test scenarios for the determination of strength of glass is described.
| Fa莽ades play an important role in the control of energy flow and energy consumption in buildings.
| This contribution is an excerpt of the journal publication by Louter et al. 2018. It explores the potential of thin glass for architectural applications and reports on two thin glass concepts.
| New generation thin, lightweight and damageresistant glass seems to be the optimal material for extremely deformable structural elements for fa莽ades and building skins.
| Researchers and engineers search for solutions to achieve transparent lightweight structures combined with high structural performance.
| At glasstec 2018 in D眉sseldorf exhibitors will present intriguing developments in the display glass segment. This theme is also addressed in a very special way by the expert conference 鈥淔unction meets Glass鈥 on 22 and 23 October.
| Thin glass 鈥 as thin as a razor blade or a human hair 鈥 is a reliable method to protect smartphone touchscreens, sensitive filters and sensors.
| To obtain free form geometry for the roof structure, bamboo canes are pre-bent. Thin glass is also cold bent and cladded. The tolerances that occur in bamboo construction are accounted by this flexibility of thin glass.
| Touchscreen displays, LED technology and ultra-thin glasses: The multifunctional diversity of glass in IT and architecture will, in the long term, lead to a combination of both.
| Advantages of the use of Radio Wave energy in the forming of glass and of tempering thin glass of less than 3.00mm. Some of the inherent problems in the conventional thermal tempering of thin glass are also presented.
