Best Practices in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and the Philippines.

Ingo Stelzer, head of Kuraray's Technical Consultancy Group within the global PVB Division, co-authored a recently published study on the impact of hurricanes on façade constructions in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and the Philippines.



The study examined specific aspects of cyclone-resistant façades, such as different façade technologies, best-practice solutions, legal requirements and design requirements in the Asia-Pacific region. The study concludes that there is still a lack of standards for certified cyclone-resistant façades, especially in the world’s most prone area to wind-related natural disasters. 



The study, which was created with input and cooperation from other Kuraray colleagues - especially Malvinder Singh Rooprai - can be found here:

ASTM has introduced a new standard, ASTM E3401, to guide the safe use of laminated glass in swimming pools, aquariums, and other applications subject to hydrostatic loads.
New international standards are reshaping the way modern façade glass is designed, balancing security performance with comfort, safety, and multifunctionality.
Modeling broken laminated glass remains a challenge—this study proposes a simplified numerical approach based on interlayer experiments.
The German code for the design of glass structures, DIN 18008, was first published in its final version in 2010 and 2013; as several major changes were suggested, the periodical revision took longer than expected.
The aim of this work is the mechanical description of the time-dependent behavior of Polyvinylbutyral (PVB) under large deformations considering quasi-static loading.
In this paper, two specific liquid cold-poured interlayer adhesives are investigated for their mechanical material properties in an extensive test regime.
