| After 10 years of experience with the Glaston HTF 2142 furnace, Paul Buckley, Managing Director of the PJB Glass Group, decided to complement his flat glass production offering by investing in a Glaston RC200™ furnace.
| The Flachglas Group employs around 1,100 employees at three sites in Switzerland and three sites in Germany – around 650 of them generate revenues of approx. € 70 million at the Wernberg site (Bavaria).
| Sanshiba Shozai of Japan chose to be the first glass processor in the world to invest in Glaston’s latest GlastonInsight™,the intelligent online assistance system, at the same time as it ordered the Glaston RC350™ tempering furnace.
| Although the standard glass design strategy is redundancy, we pursue a safer way to ensure the robustness of transparent glass beam structures.
| 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.
| 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.
| 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.
| 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.
| Contact angle measurements using method based on B-spline snakes (active contours) were applied to investigate surface wettability properties of commercial soda-lime-silica float glass subjected to various surface preparation methods.
| 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?

| Everyone in Germany knows the expression “yellow angel”, and most of its 17 million members have already made use of the organization's road assistance service at least once: it is the largest automobile club in Europe, the ADAC.
| 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.

| SSV tested thousands of glass panes from 2000 according to the European Standards for thermally toughened safety glass EN 12150 and according to EN 1863 for heat strengthened glass.
| Last week Safety Glass Experts signed a service contract with Romanian safety glass producer Gerom S.A. Buzau.
| Advantages of the use of Radio Wave energy in the forming of glass and of tempering thin glass of less than 3.00mm. Some of the inherent problems in the conventional thermal tempering of thin glass are also presented.
| This information introduces the concept of thermal stress which may be induced in glass as a result of exposure to solar radiation.
| During the past 15 years tempering of bent glass has mainly changed to horizontal methods.
| The current manufacturing of tempered glass is a complex as well as time- and cost-intensive process. Not only long processing times, but also high energy costs have a significant impact.
| We are all wondering what the future will bring. How much will computers improve? Will the global economy boom or bust? Will the mankind explore the space?
