GS&E journal > Mechanical analysis and characterization of IGUs with different silicone sealed spacer connections - Part 1: experiments

Due to several advantages, insulated glass units (IGUs) are largely used in buildings to realize curtain walls, vertical partitions but also roofs or pedestrian systems. The typical IGU consists of two glass layers, either monolithic and/or laminated sections, that can mechanically interact via an...
