Fragile yet Ductile, Structural Aspects of Reinforced Glass Beams

Pieter Christian Louter

This dissertation investigates the structural aspects of reinforced glass beams. The concept of these beams, which are intended for building applications, is to provide redundancy even if the glass is broken. This redundancy is obtained through a small rei ...

Durability of SG-laminated reinforced glass beams

Jean-Paul Lebet, Pieter Christian Louter

This paper investigates the effects of temperature, thermal cycling and humidity on the structural response of SG-laminated reinforced glass beams (SG = SentryGlas®). To do so, a series of pull-out test (to investigate the bond strength of the SG interlaye ...

Modeling the Structural Response of Reinforced Glass Beams using an SLA Scheme

Pieter Christian Louter

This paper investigates whether a novel computational sequentially linear analysis (SLA) technique, which is especially developed for modeling brittle material response, is applicable for modeling the structural response of metal reinforced glass beams. To ...

Experimental investigation of the temperature effect on the structural response of SG-laminated reinforced glass beams

Pieter Christian Louter

To generate high-level redundancy for structural glass beams, a novel concept of laminating a metal reinforcement to a structural glass beam has been developed at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). This concept makes use of the relatively stiff pol ...

Structural Glass Beams with Embedded Glass Fibre Reinforcement

Pieter Christian Louter

This paper investigates the possibilities of pultruded glass fibre rods as embedded reinforcement in SentryGlas (SG) laminated glass beams. To do so, a series of pullout tests, to investigate the bond strength of the rods to the laminate, and a series of b ...

The strength of annealed, heat-strengthened and fully tempered float glass

Pieter Christian Louter

In the last two decades architectural glass has made an enormous leap from a secondary material to a material that combines structural and cladding roles. The structural role is a new and problematic one. In contrast to most other engineering materials the ...

Bewehrte Glasträger

Pieter Christian Louter

Reinforced glass beams. At the faculty of Architecture at Delft University of Technology, a research group focuses on the development of transparent structures and components with safe failure behaviour. One of the concepts currently under investigation is ...

Adhesively bonded reinforced glass beams

Pieter Christian Louter

Researchers at the faculty of Architecture at Delft University of Technology have developed an unconventional construction method for large span structural glass beams based on two concepts: 1) glass beams are reinforced with a small stainless steel sectio ...
