Numerical Approaches for the Analysis of Glass Facades Under Seismic Loads
Earthquake Engineering and Resilience, EarlyView.Glass facades have gained more popularity due to their highly impacting esthetic and sustainable applications. However, their constitutive glass components are rather vulnerable and need proper analysis strategies to design them in efficient structural terms, especially against extreme loads, such as earthquakes.
