Research ArticleOpen accessA Novel Method for the Non-Destructive Assessment of Strength Degradation and Re-Use Potential of Weathered Float Glass From Facades: A Proof of Concept StudyFred Veer, Mauro Overend, Irene Sofokleous, Chris NoteboomLack of knowledge about the properties of weathered (used) glass is currently a major barrier to glass reuse. This results in probably unnecessary recycling or down-cycling of architectural glass at the end of life. Avoiding this creates a significant opportunity to reduce resource depletion and decarbonize the built environment. This can be done by developing an optical non-destructive test method … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 19 Oct 2023 · 9,292 accessesView PDF Cite

Technical ReportOpen accessSmall Hard Body Impact on Annealed, Heat Strengthened and Fully Tempered Laminated GlassFred Veer, Ton Romein, Pim BuskermolenNeglecting the accidental soccer or golf ball hitting the window of the neighbors in a movie, actual impact on glass is rare. In architecture, the only significant case in the literature is where a fully tempered laminated panel of the New York Apple cube was hit by a small stone launched by a snow blower. Nowadays a lot of glass … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 13 Jul 2022 · 10,561 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessExploratory Study on the Fracture Resistance of Cast GlassTelesilla Bristogianni, Faidra Oikonomopoulou, Fred Veer, Rob NijsseThe emerging interest in the architectural applications of cast glass components reveals a knowledge gap on the mechanical properties of cast glass. Apart from its chemical composition, cast glass is characterized by its manufacturing history and thermal profile, often inheriting a set of defects that define its properties. The role that inhomogeneities in the bulk of voluminous glass components have … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 4 Jun 2021 · 7,356 accessesView PDF Cite

Case ReportOpen accessDemonstration 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 PDF Cite
