| Differently from traditional structural materials, the structural behaviour of laminated glasses exhibits some anomalies due to the difference in the stressstrain laws of their components: glass is a brittle material, while PVB and SGP are thermoplastic materials with a visco-elastic behaviour.
| Currently modern facade buildings rely on glazed curtain wall systems. These systems include either singular aluminium alloy frame glass curtain walls or frameless glass curtain walls. This is the case of the so called spider fixing systems, which are pointed supported.
| Laminated glasses consist of two or more glass sheets bonded together with plastic interlayers. The lamination gives to LGs a safer behaviour than monolithic glasses, avoiding injuries to people in case of breakage.
| Melting glass is a very energy intensive process, with process temperatures of more than 1600°C required to melt the raw materials in the furnace.
| DuPont™ SentryGlas® provides high resistance to temperature and humidity on facade for Sowwah Square towers in Abu Dhabi
| At Arup, working with different specialists creates many opportunities to learn from each other. Sometimes one forgets that engineers who know everything about dark matters as climatic loads in glass or intricacies of structural silicone may not have a clue about the acoustic performance of a window
| Breakage patterns, residual stress, and fractured surfaces on tempered glasses are investigated to find the correlation among glass thickness, tempered level, and the number of fragments, particularly when the glass thickness is less than 4 mm.
| Will glass break if window film is installed to glazing?
| The Planar | DuPont SentryGlas system represents the latest advance in frameless glazing, providing architects, designers, glazing contractors and building owners with enhanced strength, safety, security and durability.

| A growing global concern over terrorist activities has resulted in an increasing number of architectural specifications that require security glazing.
| Corrugated glass is flat glass bended in the furnace into a certain shape.
| The paper shows that the residual stress at the surface of tempered glass panels may vary both locally and globally, i.e., stresses near the edges and corners of the panels may be considerably different from the stresses in the middle part of the panels.
| The canopies are a composite construction between both steel and glass, leaving no element without stress or structural function.

| The new headquarters of one of the Worlds largest fashion groups features a glass curtain wall that combines the established benefits of DuPont SentryGlas interlayer with the new architectural fabric, SEFAR Architecture Vision, for a stunning visual effect.
| Previously, toughened safety glass; now, laminated safety glass: A cost-efficient new facade at the Fraunhofer headquarters in Munich was made possible by using laminated safety glass made with strong, stiff DuPont™ SentryGlas® interlayer, allowing re-use of the existing support structure.
| Energy savings are an essential part of any new or renovated building. These can be obtained by means of insulation, special glazing and the use of particular materials.
| Firstly, it would be great if everyone in the glass industry refrained from calling this product “bullet proof” I seriously doubt if anything is ultimately bullet proof, bullet resistant is indeed the correct terminology and within the industry this is abbreviated to BRG.
| Chromatics is a modern, lightweight, shatterproof safety glass with a number of unique features that are changing conventional thinking throughout the worldwide cladding and glazing markets.
| Benefits of the tempered glazing are well known and the tempered glazing is being utilized more and more in many different applications. Manufacturing technology in this area of safety glazing is developing fast.
