Experimental Investigation On The Compressive Response Of Laminated Glass Members (In Italian)

In this study the results of compressive tests on glass members are presented. A series of twelve columns were manufactured by assembling laminated glass panels with structural silicone. The specimens had different cross-section shapes and different heights. Additionally, compressive tests were performed on single panels with varying slenderness in order to study buckling behaviour, while bending tests were undertaken on laminated and monolithic glass panels to characterize the mechanical properties and the level of connection between the two glass foils.
