Structural Transparency – A New Wood Plastic Composite Girder

Transparency is one of the significant features of modern architecture. By utilising transparent materials the feeling of lightness can be conveyed. This paper shows the possibility of employing transparent plastic as a load-bearing element. In order to be able to use a new material as part of the...
