Vulnerability and Protection of Glass Windows and Facades under Blast: Experiments, Methods and Current Trends

Xihong Zhang — 2017-07-24

International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Published online: 24 July 2017; doi:10.3844/sgamrsp.2017.10.23

Glass has been overwhelmingly used for windows and facades for modern constructions. Nevertheless, due to its relatively low tensile strength and mostly brittle behaviour, compared to other structural...

Semi-Probabilistic Calibration of a Partial Material Safety Factor for Structural Silicone Adhesives - Part I: Derivation

Michael Drass — 2020-03-02

International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Published online: 2 March 2020; doi:10.3844/sgamrsp.2020.56.68

This paper deals with the application of the semi-probabilistic design concept (level I) of Eurocode 0 in order to calibrate partial safety factors for structural silicone sealants. In the first part ...

Semi-Probabilistic Calibration of a Partial Material Safety Factor for Structural Silicone Adhesives - Part II: Verification Concept

Michael A. Kraus — 2020-01-10

International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Published online: 10 January 2020; doi:10.3844/sgamrsp.2020.10.23

This paper deals with the application of the semi-probabilistic design concept (level I) to structural silicone sealants where a generally valid verification concept is proposed. The verification conc...

Seismic and Thermal Retrofitting of Masonry Buildings with Fiber Reinforced Composite Systems: A State of the Art Review

Arnas Majumder — 2021-02-22

International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Published online: 22 February 2021; doi:10.3844/sgamrsp.2021.41.67

Old masonry buildings represent the largest part of traditional constructions. Generally, they are both seismically vulnerable and thermally dispersive. Therefore, the need for seismic and thermal ret...

Fire Resistance Testing of a Timber-Glass Composite Beam

Johan Sjöström — 2020-01-27

International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Published online: 27 January 2020; doi:10.3844/sgamrsp.2020.24.40

Glass structures have been increasingly utilised in modern construction for decades with load-bearing walls or facades as the most common elements. However, the use of glass beams has recently been gi...
