Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractDemonstration of the Structural Resiliency of Damaged Sentryglas Laminated Heat Strengthened Glass Fins in Full Scale TestingFred Veer, Diana de Krom, Rob NijsseA unique structural design was made for the glass façade of the Co-Creation Center building in Delft. The roof is completely carried by the glass fins. The fins are laterally stabilized by being included in the triple glazed façade. To certify the safety of the design full scale tests on the fins were done at Delft University of Technology. Due … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2021 · 6,320 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of the Climatic Factors on the Decay of Marbles: an Experimental StudyPaola Marini, Rossana BellopedeStone decay is affected by the influence of climatic factors. In particular marble degradation, that could be expressed by decohesion and /or bowing, is mainly due to the action of temperature and water (rains and relative humidity). In this work non destructive and destructive tests have been performed to evaluate the decay of marble slabs subjected both to natural exposition … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGlass Strength for Impact and Blast LoadingMatthias Förch, Frank WellershoffGlass strength is highly influenced by strain rate. This material behaviour is well known in structural glass design and implemented in various standards. The strength of architectural glass is determined by component tests with a defined strain rate of 2 N/(mm2s), providing favourable terms for testing. As typical effects of actions on facades result in lower or higher strain rates, … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 7 May 2021 · 8,115 accessesView PDFCite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancement of GPS Position Accuracy Using Machine Vision and Deep Learning TechniquesAshwani Kumar AggarwalThe accuracy of GPS position estimation in urban cities is an issue which need to be resolved using machine vision and deep learning techniques. The accuracy of GPS in horizontal direction is better than in the vertical direction. Although for most of the navigation applications in intelligent transportation systems, horizontal positioning accuracy is vital, but vertical position accuracy gives idea … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 5 · 25 May 2020 · 18,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFire Resistance Testing of a Timber-Glass Composite BeamJohan Sjöström, Marcin Kozłowski, Daniel Honfi et al.Glass structures have been increasingly utilised in modern construction for decades with load-bearing walls or facades as the most common elements. However, the use of glass beams has recently been given more attention but its application as load-bearing elements has been limited by the low tensile resistance, its brittle behaviour during failure and concerns of its performance in case of … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2020 · 10,828 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransformable Curved Thin Glass GreenhouseLaura GaluppiThe use of new generation thin, lightweight and damage-resistant glass, originally conceived for electronic displays, is being very recently proposed for structural applications, in particular for adaptive and movable skins and façades. This paper explores this concept and presents a study on the structural use of thin glass in greenhouses for protected agriculture, based on the use of cold-twisted elements … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 1 Dec 2018 · 6,803 accessesView PDFCite
