| The use of laminated glass with PVB and ionoplast interlayers not only offers improved safety but can also be designed to help mitigate security threats ranging from basic safety to burglary and forced entry resistance and even ballistic protection.
| Laminating glass together with a PVB or ionoplast interlayer can help mitigate security threats that range from smash and grab burglary, forced entry, ballistics, to even bomb blast.
| 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.
| A theoretical study with applications to blast enhancement
| Explosion events represent an extraordinary action for buildings and especially for the building envelope.
| In this study, double-laminated glass plates are impacted by 7.62 mm armour piercing (AP) bullets, and their ballistic limit velocity and curve are determined both through experimental tests and numerical simulations.
| In this study, we investigate double-laminated glass plates under ballistic impact through experimental tests and numerical simulations.
| The impact of building glass breakage on personnel injury was considered in this model.
| A Review of Essential Requirements towards Standardization
| This paper presents some of major outcomes of Finite Element (FE) numerical methods and simulations that have been explored in the framework of the GLASS-SHARD research project for glass windows and facades under explosion or soft-body impact.
| In this paper, the emphasis is put on explosion resistant glazing systems.
| The present paper presents an ongoing research project considering the failure of glass at high strain-rates. It provides a brief review of existing studies showing a strength increase with loading rates relevant for e.g. blast loads.
| Architectural preferences for commercial building continue towards increased transparency resulting in large lites of glass with minimal visual obstruction.
| For more than 80 years, Eastman has been the world’s leading manufacturer of protective interlayer for laminated glass.
| A growing global concern over terrorist activities has resulted in an increasing number of architectural specifications that require security glazing.
