| In this latest Glastory blog, Uwe Risle explains why thin triple IG units are gaining popularity and what the key differences are between thin triple IGUs and other insulating glass types.
| Structural sealant glazing systems are increasingly used in transparent glass constructions, but designing bonded joints still relies on outdated safety concepts, despite recent research proving the reliability of hyperelastic silicone bonds.
| A Composite Approach in the Design of Glass-Aluminium Facades to Minimise Embodied Carbon Emissions
| The purpose of this study is to investigate the stress distribution along the sealant joint of a cylindrically curved glass panel subjected to wind pressure and to establish if the panel curvature influences the stress distribution along the joint…
| This paper is concerned with the design of a load-bearing adhesive joint for use in a fluid-filled insulating glass unit.
| This paper evaluates the thermal performance of a triple-glazed glass window filled with a phase-change material (PCM) compared to the performance of a traditional triple-glazed window with air gaps.
| Robots are finding their way into the flat glass industry, improving not only process reliability but also product quality. But where exactly are they being used and what specific advantages do they offer?
| The current paper compares experimental results obtained at different scales (from TAjoints to large scale 914mm by 1524mm) with the predictions of the analytical equations and FEA.
| Modern free form glass architecture has become increasingly popular in the structural sealant glazing application, as demonstrated by many iconic building projects, such as Allianz tower in Milan.
