Sears Tower Skydeck Observation Boxes

John Kooymans

The landmark Sears Tower building in Chicago, Illinois generates income through its observation deck at the 103rd floor. Halcrow Yolles was approached by the building owners to help create four structural glass observation galleries that would project beyond the existing building façade and allow pa...

In the design of laminated glass to meet various structural loads, engineers generally make simplifying assumptions or make reference to procedures given in various standards. The current Australian standard, AS1288, which was published in 2006, allows the total glass thickness to be used for shortt...

Reinforced Laminated Glass

Steffen Feirabend, Institute of Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design (ILEK), University of Stuttgart, Germany, Werner Sobek Stuttgart, Germany

The brittleness of glass calls for innovative solutions which improve the postbreakage behavior of structural glass elements. By means of lamination combined with embedded reinforcement, it will be possible to increase the residual strength of glass in the damaged state, thus counteracting the natur...
