Structural Sealant Glazing

1977
The concept, fundamental design principles, testing, and application considerations of structural sealant glazing are covered. These describe how certain sealants can be used structurally in transferring wind loads from glass to structural elements as well as for joint weather seals.

Innovations in Structural Sealant Glazing

1991
Structural silicone glazing—sometimes called flush glazing, stopless glazing, or just structural glazing—is a method of fixing glass to its supporting framework by an adhesive. This fixing method results in a smooth, uninterrupted surface of glass, which significantly improves the appearance of glass walls.

In-Situ Re-Glazing of Structural Sealant Glazing Joints a Case History

1995
Structural sealant glazing has attracted considerable attention due to its inherent glass retaining method which allows smooth exterior glass walls interrupted only by narrow weatherseal joints. The technique has become increasingly popular with owners and architects since its inception in the early 1970's. In 1990 it was determined that

Measuring the Effective Young’s Modulus of Structural Silicone Sealant in Moment-Resisting Glazing Joints [PDF]

open access: yesConstruction and Building Materials, 2018
Structural silicone sealants are synthetic rubber adhesives used in the construction industry to bond glass and other sheet infill materials to the frames of windows and curtain walls.

Superior Structural Silicone Glazing

Advances in Hurricane Engineering, 2012
This paper presents an advanced engineering evaluation using nonlinear analysis of hyperelastic material that provides significant improvement to structural silicone glazing (SSG) design in high performance curtain wall systems. Very high cladding wind pressures required in hurricane zones often result in bulky SSG profile dimensions.

The Glaze Resistor - It's Structure and Reliability

IEEE Transactions on Component Parts, 1964
Described herein are certain features of the microstructure of the palladium-silver-glass glaze resistor. Experimental evidence given indicates PdO to be a controlling factor in the conduction process. The effect of process variables on resistivity, TCR, and drift behavior under environmental stress are also ...

Seismic Behavior of Structural Silicone Glazing

1996
In seismic events, glass curtain walls undergo racking deformation, while the flat glass lites do not rack due to their high shear stiffness. If the glass curtain wall is not isolated from the building frame by specifically designed connections that accommodate relative motion, seismic racking motion of the building frame will demand significant ...

A clear view of structural glazing.

Health estate, 2001
An ideal building skin, which has simplicity, flexibility and planarity, bolted systems provide an efficient barrier against weather ingress and can be designed to be aesthetically pleasing structures. It is an ideal system for roof or wall glazing, since drainage and cleaning is made easy by the totally flush exterior.
