Thermal Glass Stress Analysis – Design Considerations

The use of glass in windows and curtain walls, in residential as well as in high-rise buildings, is something that requires great care in design and execution. Apart from complying with typical structural engineering practices and ensuring, for example, that the glass thickness is sufficient to wit...

description The use of glass in windows and curtain walls, in residential as well as in high-rise buildings, is something that requires great care in design and execution.

This topic is not new as it began to be analysed with the emergence of the first body tinted basic glass types. All the analysis done today is based on a linear approach and a more or less simplified algorithm.
