Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVulnerability and Protection of Glass Windows and Facades under Blast: Experiments, Methods and Current TrendsXihong Zhang, Chiara BedonGlass has been overwhelmingly used for windows and facades for modern constructions. Nevertheless, due to its relatively low tensile strength and mostly brittle behaviour, compared to other structural members, glass windows/facades are one of the most fragile components for a building envelop that are always associated with vast casualties in a blast incident. Several researches have been carried out to … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 24 Jul 2017 · 14,153 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Assessment of Analytical models for the ULS Resistance Verification of Structural Glass Elements under Variable LoadsChiara Bedon, Claudio AmadioThe design of glass structures, due to the intrinsic material properties, is mainly governed by the typical tensile brittle behavior of the material. In this regard, a currently open question related to the use of glass in buildings as a load-bearing constructional material, is represented by the correct estimation of static fatigue phenomena due to a generic combination of design … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2017 · 7,761 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReview on the use of FRP Composites for Facades and Building SkinsChiara BedonFiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites represent a class of materials typically able to offer excellent mechanical, thermal and insulation properties, taking advantage of a combination of their constitutive fibers and polymers. Due to their intrinsic lightweight properties, FRP composites are in use for aerospace, automotive, marine industries and ballistic armor since several decades.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConditioned Slicing for Efficient Multiway Decision Graphs Model-CheckerSaad ElmansoriIntegrating formal verification techniques into the hardware design process provides the means to rigorously prove critical properties. However, most automatic verification techniques, such as model checking, are only effectively applicable to designs of limited sizes due to the state explosion problem. The Multiway Decision Graphs (MDG) method is an efficient method to define hardware designs into more abstract environments; however, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 23 Apr 2013 · 6,368 accessesView PDFCite
