| Building code requirements for wind-borne debris protection have been in existence since the mid- 1990s, and as a result, many glazing systems have been tested and certified to these performance requirements.
| For nearly 50 years, glass has been used as structural elements in glass fin applications. These applications include interior and exterior projects, supporting facades, canopies, storefronts, curtain walls and skylights.
| Originally developed for glazing in hurricane zones, SentryGlas庐 ionoplast interlayers are significantly stiffer than standard PVBs such as Butacite庐.
| Post breakage strength of glass is still an unknown area as analytical models for this are inconclusive so far and thus destructive testing is the only reliable solution.
| In this work, a combined Voronoi and finite-discrete element method (FDEM) approach for reconstructing the post-fracture model of laminated glass (LG) was proposed.
| This study forms part of a wider research programme that aims to better address the end-of-life challenges and opportunities in fa莽ade design for re-use.
| This paper presents the experimental results of a three-point bending test conducted on laminated glass at elevated temperature in an environmental chamber.
| Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) experiments were carried out on three different Saflex庐 interlayers from commercial production, all at a nominal thickness of 0.76 mm.
| The study describes the results of the principal applicability of fiber optic strain sensors to evaluate the structural behaviour of laminated glass and provides the basis to define a model for the material characteristics of viscoelastic鈥
| The determination of interlayer modulus data is complex.
| Here, comparisons are made with numerical analyses, performed by implementing an ad hoc routine in the software Straus7, developed by Maffeis Engineering.
| Renzo聽Piano聽Building Workshop designed a 290,000 sf museum celebrating the artistry and technology聽of film, becoming the world鈥檚 first museum and event space devoted to the Motion Picture.
| The paper presents an overview of the work completed within the on-going research project 鈥淪tructural safety of glass components鈥 carried out at the Silesian University of Technology, Lund University and RISE Research Institutes of Sweden.
| High-performance interlayers add to the stability, design flexibility, and adaptability of architectural glass
| From domed skylights to curved handrails, revolving door enclosures to building enclosures, the dramatic curves of bent glass offer architectural form and function.
| Some practical tips on how you can well maintain your laminating line and extend its longevity.
| Held in D眉sseldorf from 15 to 18 June 2021 glasstec will pick up on the latest glass trends related to shapes, formats and structures.
| That鈥檚 an excellent question! It really is true that SentryGlass is more difficult to laminate in many aspects than standard PVB. But if we first think of what SentryGlass has been designed for, it is to give structural strength to the laminate.
| Traditional uses of glass have been reinvented by two architectural firms, who artfully use glass and interlayers to achieve very different design goals.
