A 6 Metre Long Glass Footbridge for the Ancient Public Slaughterhouse of Pisa

This paper illustrates the design process and the load testing of a steel-reinforced laminated glass beam built for a 6 m span glass footbridge. This specific glass footbridge has been designed and tested to join two existing floors of the main room of a refurbished masonry building of the 19th cen...
