| Increasing the circularity of flat glass does not only mean to collect glass cullet from internal and pre- consumer processes. It also means to use glass cullet from the post- consumer applications, such as residential or commercial buildings.
| This research examines the viability of recycling soda lime glass from post-consumer Insulated Glass Units (IGU), mixing various types of architectural glass cullet and fusing them into flat plates by using electric kilns.
| In this latest Glastory blog, Uwe Risle explains why thin triple IG units are gaining popularity and what the key differences are between thin triple IGUs and other insulating glass types.
| In order to minimize the environmental impact of glass by preserving the embodied carbon and substituting newly produced glasses, the reuse of glass is considered to be of the highest potential.
| This research focuses on the incorporation of glass bottles into earth-based constructions, because of their mutual advantages of environmental sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
| The latest Glastory blog gives insights on the experiences of the tempering process Autopilot users.
| The four point bending test is one of the most commonly used and standardised tests to determine the mechanical properties of materials.
| ‘glass technology live’ will showcase a promising new development along with many other innovations.
| This article presents the metric avoided carbon for the reuse of aluminium unitised curtain wall façades, that are to be taken from a donor building and applied onto a receiving building.
| Structural sealant glazing systems are increasingly used in transparent glass constructions, but designing bonded joints still relies on outdated safety concepts, despite recent research proving the reliability of hyperelastic silicone bonds.
| A Composite Approach in the Design of Glass-Aluminium Facades to Minimise Embodied Carbon Emissions
| The aim of this work is to investigate how the load level affects the crack propagation and to generate an experimental database for L-shaped soda-lime glass specimens with curved crack paths.
| This study is part of a comprehensive research to develop a better understanding of the structural performance of Glass-GFRP composite façade panels.
| The purpose of this study is to investigate the stress distribution along the sealant joint of a cylindrically curved glass panel subjected to wind pressure and to establish if the panel curvature influences the stress distribution along the joint…
| This paper is concerned with the design of a load-bearing adhesive joint for use in a fluid-filled insulating glass unit.
| In this paper, an experimental program was conducted to evaluate and compare the performance of transparent bonded glass joints.
| The aim of this paper is to provide a better understanding of the effect of the permanent shear deformation on SSG joints.
| The research presents advantages and disadvantages for each different load type regarding interlayer chemical response.
| The paper will show the critical aspect of using the right lighting and lenses and the settings needed to obtain high quality images of complex 3D damage.
