| Abstract: |
Glass is more and more accepted as a structural material. Glass floors and especially glass facades are widely used in modern architecture. In this paper the translation of other structural elements like beams, bridges and even columns into an all glass structural element is discussed and illustrated by experimental applications. Prototypes of these all glass structural elements are tested on structural integrity in the laboratory of the University of Delft (NL). |
