| Abstract: |
Glass is more and more accepted as a structural material. Glass floors and especially glass facades are widely used in modern architecture. In this paper the translation of another structural elements : a column into an all glass structural element is discussed and illustrated by experimental applications. Prototypes of glass structural columns are tested on structural integrity in the Stevin laboratory of the University of Delft (NL). |
