Curved glass enables designers to achieve unparalleled innovation in creating modern and undulating shapes for building enclosures. However, the curvature of panes changes the static and especially the dynamic behavior of the panes under loading. Studies on low-velocity impacts on curved glass have been limited and have primarily involved numerical...
Article
The application of curved glass provides exceptional freedom in the design of modern wavy shapes of building enclosures. The stiffness resulting from curvature has been identified as a remarkable advantage over flat glass, decreasing support requirements, and improving esthetics or increasing spans. However, many constraints arise regarding its des...

Insulating glass units (IGUs) are building components that show a particular structural behavior. Although such structures have many advantages from the point of view of thermal protection of buildings, they show particular structural behavior under climatic loads. The inability to equalize the pressure with the surrounding atmospheric air causes o...

The paper deals with the phenomenon of post-breakage capacity in point-fixed laminated glass elements and reports the results of an ongoing research project aimed at developing a reinforced point-fixed laminated glass element with locally embedded steel mesh and increased post-breakage capacity. The work involved monotonic and creep studies on the...

Due to the high cost of experiments commonly performed to verify the resistance of glass elements to impact loads, numerical models are used as an alternative to physical testing. In these, accurate material parameters are crucial for a realistic prediction of the behaviour of glass panels subjected to impact loads. This applies in particular to th...

The paper reports the results of an extensive experimental campaign, in which simply supported toughened glass samples with dimensions of 500 × 360 mm ² and three thicknesses (6, 8 and 10 mm) were subjected to hard-body impact. A steel ball (4.11 kg) was released from different drop heights, starting from 10 cm above the sample and increasing by 10...
