| 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…
| 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.

| An Experimental Case Study
| Adhesion tests conducted on laminated glass include pure shear and tensile loading tests.
| The purpose of this work is to implement an algorithm to perform topology optimization for glass structures fabricated by the AWJ cutting method.
| This paper focuses on the structural behaviour of walls composed of aerogel-filled glass bricks.
| The objective of the present work is the development and testing of a robust numerical model that can naturally introduce the generated crack pattern into virtual specimens and manage the interaction among many fragments.
| The latest Glastory blog explores the evolving role of automation in glass processing, highlighting examples of how it is transforming efficiency in the industry.
| Optical stress measurement in tempered glass has its challenges. Stresses can be measured optically based on the optical anisotropy behavior of the glass.
| The main objective of this paper is to explore the effects of ageing and exposure to indoor and outdoor environment on the strength of glass.
| This paper focuses on a numerical investigation of the in-plane behavior of an innovative steel-reinforced glass frame prototype, designed to incorporate (partially) UV-curable beam-column connections.
| This study employs a transient, heat transfer finite element analysis to shed light on the thermal response of laser—glass powder bed interaction and the impact of processing parameters.
