Articles
Visual defects, in particular haze, in glass and façade technologies can significantly impact the aesthetic quality and human experience of daylight and views in buildings.
This paper introduces the concept of a numerical sensor as a key element for creating a hybrid digital twin focused on the monitoring of load-bearing glass façades.
This paper presents investigations on a novel approach for post-tensioning laminated glass beams with adhesively bonded iron-based shape memory alloy tendons along both longitudinal glass beam edges.
This paper investigates the post-fracture spring-back effect and the post fracture behaviour in warm bent glass, aiming to assess its safe use in structural glass applications.
This article presents the metric avoided carbon for the reuse of aluminium unitised curtain wall façades, that are to be taken from a donor building and applied onto a receiving building.
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glazing systems are increasingly used in transparent glass constructions, but designing bonded joints still relies on outdated safety concepts, despite recent research proving the reliability of hyperelastic silicone bonds.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
This study is part of a comprehensive research to develop a better understanding of the structural performance of Glass-GFRP composite façade panels.
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 length.
This paper is concerned with the design of a load-bearing adhesive joint for use in a fluid-filled insulating glass unit.
In this paper, an experimental program was conducted to evaluate and compare the performance of transparent bonded glass joints.
The aim of this paper is to provide a better understanding of the effect of the permanent shear deformation on SSG joints.
