| Transparent Structural Materials - Glass and Plastic |
|
The use of glass and transparent plastic material in modern architecture continues to gain in importance. To combine architectural and structural demands they can be used as structural elements. Therefore it is very important to know the detailed mechanical behaviour of the materials and to explore appropriate joining technologies. Based on this knowledge architectural planning and structural design can be merged. Composite elements and hybrid structures that consist of transparent and conventional building materials can also play an important role in the design of architectural structures.
The design parameters and methods for the successful use of transparent thermoplastics and glass can be presented in this Mini Symposium as well as their connections and detailing. The presentation scan also includes life cycle and safety considerations. |
