The structural glass storefront facade at 111 Main Street in Salt Lake City lends itself as a case study in accommodating large building
As we change the rules of thermal performance for facades, we are changing the conditions the glass is subject to in shadow boxes and glazed spandrel
Glass as a building material plays a very important role in modern architecture, determines our visual landscape, and fulfills practical functions
Laminated glass with standard PVB has long been used for safety and security due to its ability to adhere the broken glass fragments together. As the
The stability of monolithic glass fins is reasonably well defined; as an elastic material it behaves in a similar manner to other elastic materials
In the very earliest stages of a design, an architect imagines a unique glazed facade form and wonders, “Is this possible?” and “What will it cost?”
Iridescence effects, quench marks, leopard marks… The names given to optical anisotropy in toughened and heat-strengthened glass are diverse and
<p>The use of glass in windows and curtain walls in residential as well as in commercial buildings needs to be designed very carefully. In addition…
The subject of this case study is the design and construction of a custom corrugated-geometry facade featuring pre-patinated copper and glass for an
This paper proposes system concepts and fabrication methods for the use of ultra-thin glass in facades. It documents the team's research on
Structural silicone sealant is commonly used in glass fin applications, both as a weatherseal and as for structural attachment. A common concern for
The design of structural glass systems continues to evolve with the parallel development of new manufacturing technology. Improvements in the
The SCALP device is designed to measure the residual compressive surface stress of glass. As the SCALP does not rely on the birefringence properties
<p>The technology of glass now allows glass to be fabricated in sizes and structural configurations not previously conceivable. The standards and…
Historical published weathered annealed failure data consisting of 13 samples were collected and glass failure prediction model surface flaw
Anisotropy is also known as Brewster marks, quench marks, strain pattern, leopard spots, Iridescence, etc. Although anisotropy is inevitable when
The contemporary renovation of historic buildings often includes all-glass structures that allow architects to preserve the original building design
There is a desire in architecture to design and achieve transparent canopies and glazed rooves that are free from the visual clutter and the
We have seen rapid expansion in the last decade of laminated glass design using modern analytical and computational methods. Essential to the proper
