| In modern buildings, glass is increasingly used as a load-carrying material in structural components, such as glass beams. For glass beams especially the edge strength of glass is important.
| Despite the increasing research activity on structural use of glass in the past years, there is still a lack of comprehensive design codes and standards linked to real-life applications on a structural level. However, more and more ambitious buildings and structures are built every year.
| This paper intends to present how applications of structural glass systems have evolved in HDA’s projects since the author’s intial work at La Villette with Peter Rice and RFR.
| The new HQ for the Belarusian Potash Company (BPC) is a staggering example of glazing being deployed to maximise light and colour.
| A series of four-point bending tests were carried out on monolithic and laminated panels in order to evaluate the ultimate tensile stress of the glass considered and the effective level of connection between the glass foils.
| The article presents an overview of research and applications of glass as structural material, cooperating with other materials: steel, timber, glass or carbon fibre composites.
| 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.
| At this year's GPD in Finland LiSEC was represented by two lecturers.
| 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.
| The efficiency of photovoltaic modules is far from being exhausted. Companies are fighting on many fronts to gain percentage points.
| Photovoltaic modules are components used for the production of electricity from solar energy and, thanks to their morphological and constructive configuration, are suitable for integration in the external skins of buildings.
| Last week Safety Glass Experts signed a service contract with Romanian safety glass producer Gerom S.A. Buzau.
| 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.
| Large bus and special vehicle windscreens are produced with gravity bending method. Producing successfully this largest segment of vehicle glazing requires not just suitable equipment, but advanced skills, know-how, knowledge, and quality tooling, to name a few.
| PVB is increasingly assuming the leading role among alternative encapsulation materials for solar cells as the alternatives to Ethylene-Vinyl-Acetate (EVA)
| Atomic Layer Deposition is a Chemical Vapor Deposition method based on saturating surface reactions.
| The article written by Mr. László Vákár and presented at the GPD 2009.Air pollution is high on the political agenda worldwide. Emissions have to be reduced.
| The progress obtained so far, and the future trends for the two most successful thin film solar cells, namely CulnGaSe2/CdS and CdTe/CdS, are described in this article.
| During the past 15 years tempering of bent glass has mainly changed to horizontal methods.
| When new installations of flat tempering machines suited for architectural glass are discussed today, the option of convection technology is certain to be raised.
| The oscillating horizontal tempering furnace developed in the 1970s has been one of the most significant innovations of recent decades, above all commercially.
