This paper begins with an overview of the different types of modules and their applications. It discusses building regulations including the necessary structural analysis and testing verifications.
A special focus of the presented work is on the identification of nickel sulphide and its precursors which can be identified by its characteristic surface structure and colour as well as its shape.
Evaluation Framework and Preliminary Results
In this paper, two specific liquid cold-poured interlayer adhesives are investigated for their mechanical material properties in an extensive test regime.
This study examines the potential benefits of Electrophoretic Light Modulator (ELM) on an Amsterdam office's energy and daylight performance using dynamic simulation of a shoebox perimeter zone model.
The present study consists in the analysis of composite systems characterized by higher flexibility, severe exposure to environment, and thus higher sensitivity to possible material degradation.
In this paper, relevant parameters influencing the seismic loading of structural glazing joints are determined, evaluated, and narrowed down to areas of practical relevance as part of a theoretical stress analysis.
In this paper, we will discuss a challenging, iconic, heritage, refurbishment project – Channel 4’s headquarters building located in London, England.
Glass casting displays great forming potential allowing for the realisation of three-dimensional glass elements of virtually any shape and size, as showcased in glass art.
The paper compares fitting functions of different polynomial degrees to determine and assess the edge stress.
This paper gives an extensive overview of the state of the art, like realized structures, deformation criteria and cold bending associated stress development, while also prompting a new analytical approach for the calculation of stresses in cold bent glasses.
Minor fluctuations in the tempering process of architectural glass lead to residual stress differences resulting in birefringence and undesired optical iridescence, also known as anisotropy effects.
The organic design and seamlessly reflective surface of “The Henderson” establish it as a landmark in Hong Kong. With its all-glass façade and a height of 210 m, the skyscraper designed by Zaha Hadid Architects offers spectacular panoramic views.
This paper encompasses design, manufacturing, and experimental testing to assess the feasibility of using glass AM to produce interlocking masonry units for the construction industry.
We discuss a novel approach, based on fractional calculus with a non-uniform time discretization, to numerically simulate interlayer viscoelastic behaviour and associated time-dependent deformation of laminated glass.
C-010106 by Sarah Oppenheimer features two structural glass periscopes that offer unique views above and below the footbridge where it is installed.
