...Bernhard Weller; Iris Vogt The architecture of the past 100 years is characterized by a desire for ever greater transparency. Inevitably, that goes hand in hand with a constantly growing proportion of glass in the building envelope. But owing to the brittle nature of glass, there are only limited...

... maintain full composite action at the interface between adjacent dissimilar materials is critical in order to achieve optimum performance of the hybrid structural members. The objective of this experimental program was to investigate the bond performance between glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) plates...

...Bernhard Weller; Silke Tasche Adhesive joints in glass construction have been realized with one- and two-component silicones for more than 20 years. However, ultraviolet and visible light curing acrylates in glass constructions provide additional design potential due to their inherent transparency...

..., if it contacts these surfaces inadvertently from improper application or fluid run-down. This article focuses on the challenge of removing silicone residue from window glass. Several of the likely sources of the silicone residue are discussed, along with the difficulty of measuring the presence of the colorless...

...NF Johnson Glass fragments are a prime source of injury to occupants of buildings subjected to an explosive event. Health and safety considerations and the principles of a “reasonable duty of care” impose requirements on employers and on the designers and managers of buildings. Two International...
