| 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.
| With maximum light capture being a major part of the design brief, the new John and Frances Angelos Law Center, the home of the University of Baltimore School of Law, is a fascinating example of how DuPont™ SentryGlas® can be deployed for both functional and aesthetic purposes.
| 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
| 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.
| Transposing the EPBD in national laws, why it is so important for the glass industry?
| 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.
| In the façade industry, glass panes have been bonded to aluminium frames with UV-resistant silicone adhesives for 40 years with almost unchanged mechanical strength.
| The canopies are a composite construction between both steel and glass, leaving no element without stress or structural function.

| Glazing can take several forms in a building application including curtain wall, operable windows, storefront, skylights and architectural glass.
| 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.
| Instant privacy at the flick of a switch. This is what a switchable privacy glass offers.
| 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.
