Towards a combined probabilistic / consequence-based safety approach of structural glass members F.P. Bos TU Delft, Faculty of Architecture, Delft, the Netherlands [email protected], www.glass.bk.tudelft.nl Glass is generally considered to be an unsafe material to use in building structures. To limit the
Towards a combined probabilistic/consequence …
The consequence-based part of such a combined approach sets specific requirements to the residual strength of structural glass members for a certain period of time, at prescribed levels of damage. The concept of Member Consequence Classes (MCC) is introduced, in order to be able to differentiate requirements for members based on their role within a structure and the function and accessibility ...

2-6-2017 · Glass columns are a promising solution for transparent structural members, capable of transferring the compressive loads in a building while allowing for light and space continuity. Several different types of all-glass columns have been explored in the past, nevertheless, they are seldom applied in construction. Reasons include complications in fabrication, lack of adequate strength data but ...

Compressive behaviour of laminated structural …
The compressive behaviour of laminated glass panels and columns was examined, also analysing the flexural behaviour of panes. It has to be noted that the current investigation was limited to a closed number of specimens because this is meant as an introductory study to further particularized research on the structural behaviour of glass members.
