Abstract: Laminated glass, made by bonding glass plies together through polymeric interlayers, is a redundant system that allows for stress redistribution after partial failure. This study analyzes how the structural safety level ...

Abstract: Thermal tempering can induce a permanent residual prestress in glass, which is beneficial because it compensates for the low tensile strength of the material. The characteristic design resistance of tempered glass is usually ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an extensive experimental campaign of bond tests aimed to assess and compare the influence of several environmental conditioning factors (humidity and temperature) on the bond behavior ...
