Laminated connections for structural glass components: a full-scale experimental study

Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

The use of glass material for structural components has drastically increased in the last decade. Among others, a laminated connection is a type of adhesive joint that makes use of foil interlayer adhesive to transfer forces between glass and metal parts. ...

Laminated connections under tensile load at different temperatures and strain rates

Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

In the last years, a novel typology of adhesive connections for structural glass application has emerged, known as laminated adhesive connections, which makes use of the transparent ionomer SentryGlasa (R) (SG) from Kuraray and the Transparent Structural S ...

Laminated connections for structural glass applications under shear loading at different temperatures and strain rates

Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

Connections between structural glass components represent one of the main critical aspects of glass engineering. In the last years, a novel typology of adhesive connections has emerged, known as laminated adhesive connections. Two adhesive materials for la ...

Laminated Connections for Structural Glass Applications

Manuel Santarsiero

The demand for architectural transparency has drastically increased structural use of glass in buildings and constructions. Connections between structural glass components represent one of the main critical aspects of glass engineering. In the last years, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Application of hybrid glass-timber elements in architecture

Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero, Paul Ehret, Philipp Eversmann

The following paper explores the application of hybrid timber-glass elements on semi-continuous architectural structures. The use of glass as a structural material opens multiple fields of investigations. Beyond structural matters and safety issues, archit ...
