The effectiveness of resin-based repairs on the inert strength recovery of glass

Pieter Christian Louter

Glass used in buildings is often exposed to sources of surface damage which can have a significant effect on its strength. Existing research suggests that the flaws in glass can successfully be repaired by transparent polymeric resins, but the reasons for ...

Post-Tensioned Structural Glass Beams - Comparative Experimental Study

Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac

This paper presents a study of a system of post-tensioned structural glass beams. In order to increase the initial fracture strength of glass beams and provide residual load-carrying capacity in the event of glass failure, annealed laminated glass beams ar ...

A preliminary study of the nonlinearity of adhesive point-fixings in structural glass facades

Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

The recent demand for architectural transparency has drastically increased the use of glass material for structural purpose. However, connections between structural glass members represent one of the most critical aspects of glass engineering, due to the f ...

Experimental study on glass edge machining flaw characterization

Pieter Christian Louter, Maria Lindqvist

Knowledge of failure strength is the key to structural glass applications. However, the influence of the manufacturing process on the failure initiation at the glass edge is not well known. For this paper, small-scale glass specimens are tested in four-poi ...

Exploratory experimental investigations on post-tensioned structural glass beams

Jean-Paul Lebet, Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac

The mechanical response of post-tensioned glass beams is explored in this paper. This is done through bending experiments on post-tensioned glass beam specimens with either mechanically anchored or adhesively bonded steel tendons by which a beneficial pre- ...

The mechanical behavior of SentryGlas® and TSSA laminated polymers in cured and uncured state in uniaxial tensile test

Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

Transparent polymer interlayers are usually adopted to laminate glass members dealing with structural roles. Currently, they are also used to realize laminated adhesive connec-tions joining structural glass components (e.g. steel-to-glass connections). Res ...

Exploratory 2D and 3D numerical investigation of SG-laminated reinforced glass beams

Pieter Christian Louter

SentryGlas®(SG)-laminated reinforced glass beams are numerically investigated. This innovative structural typology consists of a composite section in which the typical brittle behaviour of glass is overcome by means of stainless steel sections able to prov ...
