Application of Hybrid Glass-Timber Elements in Architecture: Semi Continuous and Self-generative Glass Layering Structural System

Philipp Eversmann, Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero, Paul Ehret

The following paper explores the application of hybrid timber-glass elements on semi-continuous architectural structures. The use of glass as a structural material opens multiple fields of investigations. Beyond structural matters and safety issues, archit ...

A preliminary study of the nonlinearity of adhesive point-fixings in structural glass facades

Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

The recent demand for architectural transparency has drastically increased the use of glass material for structural purpose. However, connections between structural glass members represent one of the most critical aspects of glass engineering, due to the f ...

Exploratory experimental investigations on post-tensioned structural glass beams

Pieter Christian Louter

This paper discusses two projects on post-tensioned glass beams, performed at EPFL and DTU, respectively. In these projects small scale glass beams (length of 1.5m and 1m) are post-tensioned by means of steel threaded rods tensioned at the beam ends. The p ...

Exploratory 2D and 3D numerical investigation of SG-laminated reinforced glass beams

Pieter Christian Louter

SentryGlas®(SG)-laminated reinforced glass beams are numerically investigated. This innovative structural typology consists of a composite section in which the typical brittle behaviour of glass is overcome by means of stainless steel sections able to prov ...

Exploratory experimental investigations on post-tensioned structural glass beams

Jean-Paul Lebet, Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac

The mechanical response of post-tensioned glass beams is explored in this paper. This is done through bending experiments on post-tensioned glass beam specimens with either mechanically anchored or adhesively bonded steel tendons by which a beneficial pre- ...

Modeling the Structural Response of Reinforced Glass Beams using an SLA Scheme

Pieter Christian Louter

This paper investigates whether a novel computational sequentially linear analysis (SLA) technique, which is especially developed for modeling brittle material response, is applicable for modeling the structural response of metal reinforced glass beams. To ...

Edge strength model for glass based on the mirror zone depth

Pieter Christian Louter

A reliable assessment of the edge strength becomes an important issue when designing structural glass elements in buildings. However, in the literature the edge strength of glass, dependent on the edge quality, is not well documented. Therefore, in this st ...

Edge-Strengthening of Structural Glass with Protective Coatings

Jean-Paul Lebet, Pieter Christian Louter, Maria Lindqvist

In modern buildings, glass is increasingly used as a load-carrying material in structural components, such as glass beams. For glass beams especially the edge strength of glass is important. However, the strength of glass is not a material constant but dep ...

Post-tensioned structural glass beams, experimental investigations

Thibaut Jordan, Arno Pérez, Jean-Paul Lebet, Pieter Christian Louter

In this study the structural response of post-tensioned structural glass beams is investigated. This is done through four-point bending tests on two series of post-tensioned glass beam specimens. The beams consist of three layers of annealed float glass an ...

Structural Glass Beams with Embedded Glass Fibre Reinforcement

Pieter Christian Louter

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 b ...

Durability of SG-laminated reinforced glass beams: effects of temperature, thermal cycling, humidity and load-duration

Jean-Paul Lebet, Pieter Christian Louter

This paper investigates the durability of structural glass beams that are composed of annealed glass, stainless steel reinforcement and SG (SentryGlas®) interlayer sheets. To do so, a series of pull-out tests (to investigate the shear transfer capacity of ...
