Abstract: |
The paper deals with the application of structural glass in the design of loadbearing glass elements. The main objective of the presented experimental research is to compare the loadbearing capacity and post – breakage behavior of laminated beams made of annealed (ANG) and fully – tempered glass (FTG) in the interaction with or without steel elements (as reinforcement). |
