Experimental Investigations on the Cyclic Load-Bearing Behavior of Structural Glazing Joints under Seismic Load

Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
In addition to static loads, structural glazing joints in glass and facade construction in many regions are subject to extraordinary effects such as earthquakes. Seismic actions are characterized by a randomly recurring and dynamic load that affects the
