Elastic Strain Energy Release at Failure and its Consequence for Structural Glass Testing and Design

Freek Bos

The amount of elastic strain energy that is being released upon initial failure of a structural glass element has profound influence on its post-initial failure load bearing capacity. This paper discusses the relevance of this notion to the evaluation of structural glass testing and the consequences...

Trabes Vitreae Tensegrity: an Example of Segmental Prestressed Glass Beams

Maurizio Froli, Leonardo Lani

High transparency and modularity, retarded first cracking, non brittle collapse and fail-safe design were the basic requirements that inspired and guided the development of a new kind of glass beams. The two basic conceptual design goals were to avoid any cracking at service and to get a ductile beh...

Structural Glass Beams with Embedded Glass Fibre Reinforcement

Christian Louter, Calvin Leung, Henk Kolstein, Jan Vamberský

This paper investigates the possibilities of pultruded glass fibre rods as embedded reinforcement in SentryGlas (SG) laminated glass beams. To do so, a series of pullout tests, to investigate the bond strength of the rods to the laminate, and a series of beam tests, to investigate the post-breakage ...
