There are two things everybody knows about glass: it is transparent, and it breaks! These are also the properties that constitute the challenge of glass as an architectural and structural material. This book presents papers from the third Challenging Glass Conference (CGC3), held at the Technical University (TU) Delft, the Netherlands, in June 2012. The conference brings together glass engineering, research and design specialists. Papers are grouped under seven topic headings: project and case studies; joints, fixings and adhesives; strength, stability and safety (a category which includes a quarter of all the papers presented at the conference); laminates and composite design; curved and bended glass; architectural design and lighting and finally, glass in facades. Glass remains one of the most exciting materials available to designers and architects today. This book will be of interest to all those involved in working with glass in an architectural and structural context.

Challenging Glass 3 Conference on Architectural and Structural Applications of Glass 1st Table of contents:

  • 1. Project and Case Studies

    • (This section would feature papers detailing specific architectural projects and their use of glass, often including challenges in design, fabrication, and installation.)
    • Examples of paper titles might include: “The Glass Screens of the Japan Post Tower,” “The Glass Sphinx: A Massive Stacked Glass Sculpture,” “The Apple Glass Cube: Version 2.0,” “Glass Walls Carrying the Roof and Withstanding the Wind Load on the Façade: Conservatory of the Museum in Dordrecht and Raaks Glass Cube in Haarlem.”

  • 2. Joints, Fixings & Adhesives

    • (Papers focusing on connection methods for glass, including structural adhesives.)
    • Examples of paper titles might include: “Shear Capacity in Adhesive Glass Joints,” “Tensile Loading of Silicone Point Supports – Revisited,” “Investigation of Stress-Whitening in Transparent Structural Silicone Adhesive,” “Influence of Various Factors on Mechanical Properties of Adhesive Joint in Glass Structures.”

  • 3. Strength, Stability & Safety

    • (This is often the largest section, covering fundamental aspects of glass behavior under various loads, failure mechanisms, and design guidelines.)
    • Examples of paper titles might include: “Surface Defects and Statistical Characteristics of Glass Strength,” “Load-Bearing Capacity of Thin Film Photovoltaic Modules,” “Stress Distribution of Tension Structural Glass Plates,” “Influence of the Load History on the Edge Strength of Glass with Cut Edge Finishing.”

  • 4. Laminates & Composite Designs

    • (Focus on multi-layered glass and hybrid materials incorporating glass.)
    • Examples of paper titles might include: “New Expressions for the Effective Thickness of Laminated Glass,” “Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Edge Seal Spacers of Insulated Glass Units for Structural Sealant Glazing Applications.”

  • 5. Curved & Bended Glass

    • (Papers exploring the design, manufacturing, and structural performance of non-planar glass elements.)
    • Examples of paper titles might include: “Special Aspects in Planning of Thermally Curved Glass: Structural Design, Constructional Hints,” “Curved Glass in Four-Point Bending.”

  • 6. Architectural Design & Lighting

    • (This section covers the aesthetic and functional aspects of glass in architecture, including daylighting and specialized glass products.)
    • Examples of paper titles might include: “Ceramic Digital Printing – Customizing Glass Facade Design,” “Behaviour of Electrochromic Glass in the Summary.”
