Experimental Research on Glass- Polycarbonate Beams

A research project at the Institute of Building Construction explores composite beams made of glass and transparent polycarbonate. These beams consist of one inner polycarbonate sheet and two outer panes of glass and are bonded by a transparent adhesive. Several experimental tests demonstrated that...
