Application of hybrid glass-timber elements in architecture

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

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 ...

Exploratory numerical analysis of SG-laminated reinforced glass beam experiments

Pieter Christian Louter

The paper focuses on the numerical investigation of SentryGlas®(SG)-laminated reinforced glass beams. This structural typology, rather innovative and currently under investigation, consists of a composite section in which the typical brittle behaviour of g ...

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 ...

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 ...

Experimental and numerical investigations of metal-to-glass embedded connections with thin stainless steel plate

Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

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

Numerical analyses of the effect of SG-interlayer shear stiffness on the structural performance of reinforced glass beams

Pieter Christian Louter

This paper focuses on the numerical modelling of SentryGlas-laminated reinforced glass beams. In these beams, which have been experimentally investigated in preceding research, a stainless steel reinforcement section is laminated at the inner recessed edge ...

Post-tensioned structural glass beams, experimental investigations

Jean-Paul Lebet, Thibaut Jordan, Arno Pérez, 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 ...

Long-term laminated glass four point bending test with PVB, EVA and SG interlayers at different temperatures

Jean-Paul Lebet, Pieter Christian Louter, Tomas Serafinavicius

This paper presents the results of long term experiments of four point bending test with structural laminated glass plates. For experiments 6 mm thick annealed Soda-Lime-Silica Glass and three different interlayer laminates were used: Polyvinyl butyral (PV ...

Edge-strengthening of structural glass with protective coatings

Jean-Paul Lebet, Maria Lindqvist, Pieter Christian Louter

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 ...

Structural response of SG-laminated reinforced glass beams; experimental investigations on the effects of glass type, reinforcement percentage and beam size

Jean-Paul Lebet, Pieter Christian Louter

This paper investigates the effects of glass type (annealed, heat-strengthened and fully tempered), reinforcement percentage (hollow section and full section) and beam size (1.5 and 3.2 m) on the structural response of SG-laminated reinforced glass beams. ...

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 ...
