| The use of laminated glass with PVB and ionoplast interlayers not only offers improved safety but can also be designed to help mitigate security threats ranging from basic safety to burglary and forced entry resistance and even ballistic protection.
| This paper investigates the potential of reusing glass bottles for the construction of structural columns.
| Application to cantilevered balustrades
| Digitalization of machines requires standardized language for machine communication – and OPC UA is the perfect choice.
| This paper explains the most common types of visual distortion from the glass production process and considers a virtual prototyping approach.
| Modern free form glass architecture has become increasingly popular in the structural sealant glazing application, as demonstrated by many iconic building projects, such as Allianz tower in Milan.
| Investigations of different positions of the sphere and the satellite and their effect on stress distribution are studied. Both, experimental observations and computational FEM simulations are compared.
