| Abstract: |
The use of glass in structural engineering opens a wide field for interesting applications. As it is a quite new subject only few regulations and design rules exist. So it is very important to know the basics of the material glass to build safe and economic constructions. In this paper an overview is given about the different kind of glass with the different behaviour concerning load carrying capacity and remaining load capacity. Results of testing of the different kind of glass with their different behaviour are presented. The requirements due to safety aspects for the application of glass in Germany and Europe will be presented. Other points are the characteristic of the different kind of bearing (linear and point fixings) and the behaviour of laminated glass. Topics like principle design rules, static calculation of glass (linear and point fixed glass, effects of nonlinear calculation) are presented. |
