| Glass is a brittle material. After the stress due to loading exceeds the resistance, a breakage occurs, and the glass is no longer intact.
| Multilayer laminates are used to increase strength, redundancy and residual capacity, but some configurations can lead to catastrophic failures.
| New fire-resistant load-bearing glass beams are under development and examined within a joint research project between Hero-Fire GmbH, Taupitz GmbH & Co. KG and Technische Universität Dresden.
| This paper presents a review on the state of art of analysis and design of glass window/facade system under blast loading, with evidence of available experimental outcomes, design methods and trends, open challenges.
| In this article, Mika gives our readers some expert advice on improving energy efficiency in safety glass manufacturing.
| A review of experimental research and main influencing parameters
| This study conducts a survey of the literature to identify and discuss various materials and design approaches incorporated to augment the sustainability of laminated glass.
| The research paper gives an idea and compares the structural behaviour and fracture pattern and evaluates laminated glass samples with PVB, Ionoplast and EVA interlayers.
| This paper presents the results of an original test series carried out on monolithic glass panes with the dimensions of 500 × 500 mm2 and different thicknesses, under the exposure to radiant heating.
| Overview of Design Issues, Experimental Research, and Developments

| In this paper we present a novel test methodology for the generation of varying degrees of pre-damage in small soda-lime glass cylinders by dynamic loading in combination with a subsequent contactless damage quantification.
| This paper focuses on the load-carrying behaviour of laminated glass panel supported merely along four edges subjected to compressive force.
| A study was made of the impact resistance of annealed, heat-strengthened, and fully tempered laminated glass using test panels.
| Explosion events represent an extraordinary action for buildings and especially for the building envelope.
Glass-paper-laminates: examination of manufacturing methods, properties and discussion of potentials
| This paper examines various ways of combining paper and glass as a laminate and the effects on transparency.
