SED 10 (ePDF) Structural Use of Glass

Structural Use of Glass, by Matthias Haldimann, Andreas Luible, Mauro Overend, ISBN 978-3-85748-119-2, published in 2008. Recent architectural trends and technological developments have brought about unprecedented opportunities and exciting changes in the use of glass in buildings. Structural engineers currently have a bewildering array of glass products and configurations to choose from and a wide range of normal and exceptional loading conditions to consider, but very few unified reference texts for undertaking these tasks. This book attempts to redress this issue by providing an overview of the recent developments in this field thereby providing a basis for the understanding of the structural performance and design of glass in buildings.
