Stability of Glass Structural Elements Subjected to Bending

Article Preview

Abstract:

Glass has got important role in modern architecture not only because of its transparency, interior lighting and for aesthetical function but nowadays also more often for its load bearing function. Design of structural glass elements is limited by the lack of knowledge and standards, especially in case of stability problems of beams or columns. Slender glass beams with rectangular cross-section tend to fail because of instability.
