Sumario:Current design codes and standards provide limited indications for advanced analysis and earthquake engineering of structural glass applications in seismic regions. This work provides an energy-based approach for efficient design and structural performance evaluation of structural glass systems in seismic regions. The analytical formulation of the energy-based approach for dissipative non-linear structural glass systems is firstly presented. A practical application is then described by means of analytical and numerical studies. The results show that the combination of appropriate structural design with advanced non-linear analysis allows the achievement of highly efficient design and satisfactory performances comparable to the ones of other common structural systems.
