Abstract

This paper investigates the effects of temperature, thermal cycling and humidity on the structural response of SG-laminated reinforced glass beams (SG = SentryGlas®). To do so, a series of pull-out test (to investigate the bond strength of the SG interlayer) and a series of bending tests (to investigate the structural response of the beams) have been performed at -20, +23, +60 and +80ºC (the latter temperature only for the pull-out tests), after thermal cycling between -20 and +30ºC, and after humidity exposure. From the test results it is concluded that the SG-laminated reinforced glass beams provide high redundancy and durability.

I-beam

I-beam is a generic lay term for a variety of structural members with an or -shaped cross-section. Technical terms for similar items include H-beam (for universal column, UC), w-beam (for "wide flange"), universal beam (UB), rolled steel joist (RSJ), or double-T (especially in Polish, Bulgarian, Spanish, Italian and German). I-beams are typically made of structural steel and serve a wide variety of construction uses. The horizontal elements of the are called flanges, and the vertical element is known as the "web".

Beam (structure)

A beam is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied laterally to the beam's axis (an element designed to carry primarily axial load would be a strut or column). Its mode of deflection is primarily by bending. The loads applied to the beam result in reaction forces at the beam's support points. The total effect of all the forces acting on the beam is to produce shear forces and bending moments within the beams, that in turn induce internal stresses, strains and deflections of the beam.

Bond energy

In chemistry, bond energy (BE), also called the mean bond enthalpy or average bond enthalpy is a measure of bond strength in a chemical bond. IUPAC defines bond energy as the average value of the gas-phase bond-dissociation energy (usually at a temperature of 298.15 K) for all bonds of the same type within the same chemical species. The bond dissociation energy (enthalpy) is also referred to as bond disruption energy, bond energy, bond strength, or binding energy (abbreviation: BDE, BE, or D).
