| Abstract: |
Be it the burden of its own weight or those introduced by the external support structure, the common cause of glass failure are its broken edges, especially for load bearing glass structures. Here the support conditions and the strength of glass edges play a significant role, wherefore the edge strength largely depends on the design of the edges. In this paper the first qualitative results of a numerical investigation into stress distribution of the edge cross-section are presented by using divergent edge design and connector materials. |
