For safety barriers, the load bearing capacity of the glass when subjected to the soft body impact should be verified. The soft body pendulum test became a testing standard to classify safety glass plates. The classification of the safety glass do not consider the structural behaviour when one sheet of a laminated glass is broken; in situations when the replacement of the plate could not be very urgent, structural behaviour should be evaluated. The main objective of this paper is to present the structural behaviour of laminated glass plates, through model test and human impact test, including the post fracture behaviour in the case of laminated glass. a good reproducibility and repeatability is obtained. Two main aspects of the structural behaviour can be observed: the increment of the rupture load for laminated plates after the failure of the first sheet, and some similarities with a tempered monolithic behaviour of equivalent thickness.
