Thermo-mechanical Investigation of Novel GFRP-glass Sandwich Facade Components

Modern building envelopes are typically high-technological systems that need to meet strict requirements regarding architectural intent, structural capacity, energy-efficiency and durability. The study presented in this paper is based on recent research performed at the Glass & Façade Technolog...
