    The experiments served for determination of resistance for glass in contact with different material. Glass panel were placed between two inserts and loaded by a force to the collapse. Two test machines with load capacity 400 and 1000 kN were used. We carried out 4 set of test with Al, Pa, Fe, and Ep inserts. Size and thickness of glass panels, edge finishing, length and material of inserts were changed. Transparent box allowed to determinate first crack appearance as well as the shape of the failure.

    The glass thickness and the initial deformation of glass panels were measured for more than 200 test specimen from two different glass manufacturers. The thickness of annealed flat glass panels differs from the nominal value because glass manufacturers try to save material. The real glass thickness is often less than the nominal value, therefore reducing the moment of inertia of the cross section and, thus the buckling strength. The measurements confirmed that the values follow a normal distribution.

    The initial geometric deformation w0 of flat glass is mainly caused by the tempering process. The results confirmed that non-tempered annealed flat glass has a very low initial deformation (< 1/2500) while heat-strengthened and fully toughened glass can have a sinusoidal initial deformation up to 1/300 of the length L. However maximum initial deformations depend strongly on the quality of the furnace and can therefore vary between different glass manufacturers.

    initial fracture occurred always on the tensile surface weakest point is the point of the highest tensile stress load carrying behaviour is independent of the embedded compressive surface stresses, toughened glass showed higher deformations and stresses at breakage

    influences: glass thickness initial deformation w0 load eccentricity e tensile strength of glass p,t shear modulus of PVB foil GPVB

    The buckling strength of glass is limited by the maximum tensile strength of glass p,t

    Column buckling curves

    STEEL to simplify the design of compressive members buckling curves were developed, curves are based on slenderness ration design of members with different steel grade

    GLASS same approach = buckling curves 1) slenderness ratio for glass must be based on the maximum tensile strength p,t, compressive strength is not limiting its buckling strength

    IMPRACTICAL = large variations for different tensile strength of glass

    additional lateral loads and end moments can be taken into account by means of interaction formulas similar to the design of compressive steel members

    Elastic second order equation

    direct calculation of the maximum tensile stress by means elastic second order equation

    in contrast to steel construction this is relatively simple to carry out because of the ideal elastic behaviour of glass

    take into account glass thickness and initial deformation

    Laminated safety glass

    effect of the interlayer on the load carrying capacity due to the different temperature and loading speed

    low temperature and very short loading almost monolithic section

    long-term loading and temperature higher than 25C composite effect is marginal

    simplification: same methods for single glass can be applied to laminated glass elements sandwich cross-section can be replaced by an effective monolithic cross-section with the effective thickness

    Critical structural issues how the structure will behave how the structure will behave after one or more glass elements have

    failed safety implications of failure of a glass piece, people can be injured by

    falling glass

    Two ways for column glass 1) use glass only for uppermost part

    of column (protection from likely impact + elements supported by the glass fall only a short distance)

    2) Use of additional glass layers to protect an inner = load bearing
