Mechanical Resistance of Triple Glass Facade Panels

Article Preview

Abstract:

Loading tests of triple glazed facade panels with dimensions of 1.5 x 2.64 m were carried out. The purpose of the tests was to examine mechanical resistance of the glass panes, namely the deformations caused by a local load, to determine degree of interaction between the panes of triple glazing exposed to the loading action and to prove the load bearing capacity of the panels. This experimental investigations were accompanied by finite element analysis.
