Abstract Since the beginning of 2021, CEN/TS 19100 Design Glass Structures has been available in its first three parts. The fourth part is expected soon. This Technical Specification European standards organisation CEN as a pre-standard corresponding future Eurocode. These documents constitute ever comprehensive design code for entire structural glass engineering field on market time. In addition to clear outline, drafted be compatible with EN 1990 “Basis Design” and address glass-specific...
An accurate material representation of polymeric interlayers in laminated glass panes has proved fundamental for a reliable prediction their response both static and dynamic loading regimes. This issue is addressed the present contribution by examining time–temperature sensitivity shear stiffness two widely used made polyvinyl butyral (TROSIFOL BG R20) ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVALAM 80-120). To that end, an experimental program been executed to compare applicability techniques, (i) torsional...
New and high transparent structural element, steel-glass composite beam was developed in respect to fabrication, static-structural architectural criteria consists of steel flanges glass web assembled together by semi-rigid polymer adhesive, which is the key element whole system. These beams can be used mainly as members roof or floor structure well stiffening fins for large area facades. This paper deals with experimental research performed at CTU (Czech Technical University) Prague, started...
Adhesive connections offer a number of benefits in structural applications, especially the case brittle adherends such as glass. There, multitude materials can be used to provide bonding between glass and/or metal components, giving evidence different mechanical behaviours well performances. This paper reports on Finite Element numerical investigation carried out small-scale adhesive joint specimens. Taking advantage past experimental study performed at CTU Prague - focused both material...
Adaptive facades are getting more and widespread in modern buildings. These facade systems, among many others, need to fulfil the requirements of several structural considerations, such as safety, serviceability, durability, robustness fire being typically defined for standard building enclosures general. The current paper discusses special characteristics which be taken into account when designing adaptive summarizes some recent efforts activities progress carried out by 'Structural' Task...
Noticing the current architecture, there are many examples of glass bearing members such as beams, panes, ribs stairs or even columns. Most these elements made laminated from panes bonded by polymer interlayer so task transferring shear forces between needs to be investigated due lack knowledge. This transfer depends on stiffness material, which is affected temperature and load duration. It essential catch safe side with limit cases when designing if exact material behaviour not specified....
The aim of this study was to analyse pig muscles used in the production cooked hams with a view occurrence PSE-type defects and their potential effect on frequency destructured zones finished products. One hundred six samples m. adductor (AD) semimembranosus (SM) were studied. two kinds muscle differed from each other terms pH values colour (<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...
Many examples of glass loadbearing structures such as handrails, panes, beams and columns can be found in modern architecture. Most these elements are made laminated panels. There is a general lack knowledge about the transfer shear forces between plies perpendicularly-loaded This depends significantly on stiffness polymeric interlayer, which time-dependent temperature-dependent. several computational methods for design that take coupling into account, e.g. analytical methods, numerical...
The effects of exposure to humid conditions in the extended cataplasm ageing test, based on ISO 9142, Procedure E2 mechanical properties adhesively bonded joints, were investigated as a part comprehensive study an acrylate adhesive and Silane-terminated polymer (STP) adhesive. adhesives applied aluminium Zn-electroplated steel substrates with various surface treatments (a smooth surface, roughened anodized blank aluminium) observe effect joints substrates. predominant high relative humidity...
Different types of hybrid constructions, consisting glass and another material, are analyzed or even newly developed focusing on an optimal structural interaction between both materials in respect to architectural, static-structural fabrication criteria. The new, high transparent element — steel-glass beam consists steel flanges, web bonded connection them. Long glued joint realized by polymer adhesive is the key structure, therefore aspect development detailing steelglass interface choice...
Unique aesthetical properties of glass - not only transparency but also smooth, glossy and primarily reflective surface give this material special importance in the contemporary architecture. In every structural application it is necessary to solve problem associated with connections between pane other part from a different or two elements. Moreover, there are many types hybrid structures that combine materials achieve safe failure behaviour high degree at same time. Connection brittle...
Glass can be combined effectively with another high-strength material, and a maximally efficient interaction between the two structural elements achieved. This paper deals adhesively bonded steel–glass composite I-section beams, where web is made of glass flanges are manufactured from steel. The describes design procedure presents static evaluation, taking into account many influencing factors, such as semi-rigidity adhesive layer, which key element in horizontal shear contraction steel...
