Abstract

Glass is a popular cladding material for modern buildings. The trend for steel-framed, glass-clad buildings instead of those using traditional materials such as brick and concrete has inherent problems. These include, for example, the performance of architectural glass in extreme climatic events such as windstorms and heavy snow loads and also during earthquakes. This book reviews the state-of-the-art in glass and glazing technology to resist failure due to these natural events.Building code seismic requirements for architectural glass in the United States are considered first of all,

Abstract

The concept of tomorrow's towns and cities will be based on new social, economic and technological ideals focused on improving the quality of life. To attain this objective, architects and engineers of today must improve the quality of buildings and establish new principles of building conception. The quality of interior space and the impact of a building on its surroundings depends strongly on the physical interface that separates the outer environment from the inner building space. The conception and realisation of this interface (the envelope) are, therefore, of prime importance.

Abstract

Dieses Buch entdeckt neu die Schönheit der Eisen- und Glasbauten des 19. Jahrhunderts - eine Architektur von hohem ästhetischen Reiz, die Bagger und Sprengstoff immer mehr zu vernichten drohen. Fotos von der Sprengung der berühmten Pariser Markthallen erschienen in der gesamten Weltpresse. Zahlreiche der in diesem Buch abgebildeten Bauten wurden während der mehrjährigen Bearbeitungszeit des Buches bereits abgerissen. Dadurch gewinnt das hier wiedergegebene Bildmaterial großen dokumentarischen Wert. Das Buch begnügt sich jedoch nicht mit einer bloßen Dokumentation, vielmehr analysieren die Autorinnen die den Eisen- und Glaskonstruktionen des 19. Jahrhunderts zugrundeliegende Bauidee. Die Frage nach den gesellschaftlichen und technischen Bedingungen für Bauten aus Eisen und Glas führt zu einer Untersuchung der Herkunft unserer gegenwärtigen Wertskalen, die im 19. Jahrhundert wurzeln und deren Ideen im zeitgenössischen Planen und Bauen wieder zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnen.

Abstract

The present doctoral dissertation contributes to the analysis of glass panels subjected to blast load, concentrating on monolithic and laminated glass prior to glass fracture. A straightforward graphical solution for monolithic glass is presented to identify maximum deformation and maximum principal stress for small and large deformations for static and idealized blast load without software. On the basis of experimental tests, load duration factors kmod for impact and blast load design for annealed glass, heat strengthened glass and fully tempered glass are proposed and design strength values for impact and blast design based on the European and German standards are suggested. As a result, blast pressure capacity charts for monolithic fully tempered glass plates subjected to idealized blast load are presented. Moreover, design temperatures of interlayer in blast design situation based on empirical data in accordance with Eurocode are determined for vertical double glazed and triple glazed units for Germany, showing that laminated glass should not be regarded with monolithic glass approach in general. Matthias Förch studied structural engineering at the University of Applied Sciences in Biberach. After several years of practical experience as structural engineer within the Permasteelisa Group and Nordex, he joined the working group for Façade Systems and Building Envelopes of HafenCity University Hamburg as research associate from 2012 to 2018. Here, his research focus was on bomb blast protection of windows and facades and structural glass design.
