Remaining Structural Capacity Of Broken Laminated Safety Glass

To confirm the load carrying capacity of overhead glazing, accessible glass and all other basic glass sections, modern calculation procedures are used and a verification of the remaining structural capacity is required. This verification is typically done by full scale tests. This project is part of the EU COST action C13 Glass & Interactive Building and aims at formulating mechanical models to describe load transfer mechanisms in broken glass in order to satisfy safety requirements.
