The Role of Restraints on the Buckling Response of Glass Shear Walls

In current practice, glass shear walls are frequently used to cover wide surfaces in facades. There, a multitude of restraints can be found, depending on specific aesthetic, architectural and structural requirements. Typical practical examples can in fact take the form of linear adhesive joints, me...

description	In current practice, glass shear walls are frequently used to cover wide surfaces in facades.
