Laminated connections for structural glass applications under shear loading at different temperatures and strain rates

Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

Connections between structural glass components represent one of the main critical aspects of glass engineering. In the last years, a novel typology of adhesive connections has emerged, known as laminated adhesive connections. Two adhesive materials for la ...

Laminated connections under tensile load at different temperatures and strain rates

Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

In the last years, a novel typology of adhesive connections for structural glass application has emerged, known as laminated adhesive connections, which makes use of the transparent ionomer SentryGlasa (R) (SG) from Kuraray and the Transparent Structural S ...

Flexural behaviour of post-tensioned glass beams: Experimental and analytical study of three beam typologies

Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac

The concept of post-tensioned glass beams builds on the concrete analogy of the reinforced glass beams. By additionally prestressing the reinforcement in a post-tensioned system, a compressive pre-stress is applied on the glass, enhancing the initial fract ...

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 ...

Taylor & Francis Group2013

The mechanical behavior of SentryGlas® and TSSA laminated polymers in cured and uncured state in uniaxial tensile test

Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

Transparent polymer interlayers are usually adopted to laminate glass members dealing with structural roles. Currently, they are also used to realize laminated adhesive connec-tions joining structural glass components (e.g. steel-to-glass connections). Res ...

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 ...

Experimental investigation of multi-span post-tensioned glass beams

Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac

This paper presents a study on post-tensioned glass beams in a statically indeterminate system. In order to increase the safety of structural glass beams, ductile reinforcement can be added to glass beam sections providing secondary load carrying mechanism ...

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 ...

Structural response of fire-exposed laminated glass beams under sustained loads; exploratory experiments and FE-Simulations

Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter

This paper investigates the structural response of laminated glass beams under combined fire-exposure and sustained in-plane loading. This is done by means of experimental testing and Finite Element (FE) numerical modelling. Firstly, small-scale (1 m long) ...

Post-tensioning of glass beams: Analytical determination of the allowable pre-load

Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac

The effectiveness of post-tensioning in enhancing the fracture resistance of glass beams depends on the level of compressive pre-stress introduced at the glass edge surface that will in service be exposed to tensile stresses induced by bending. Maximum pre ...

Experimental study on glass edge machining flaw characterization

Pieter Christian Louter, Maria Lindqvist

Knowledge of failure strength is the key to structural glass applications. However, the influence of the manufacturing process on the failure initiation at the glass edge is not well known. For this paper, small-scale glass specimens are tested in four-poi ...

Post-Tensioned Structural Glass Beams - Comparative Experimental Study

Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac

This paper presents a study of a system of post-tensioned structural glass beams. In order to increase the initial fracture strength of glass beams and provide residual load-carrying capacity in the event of glass failure, annealed laminated glass beams ar ...

Exploring the potential of the critical shear crack theory for reinforced and post-tensioned glass beams: Initial analysis and experiments

Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac

In the evolution of structural glass beam elements, the requirements for post-fracture load bearing capacity and safe failure behaviour have led to the development of reinforced and post-tensioned beams. Maximum bending capacity in the post-fracture state ...
