- Abstract
- Glass is increasingly being used to create transparent structural elements such as columns, beams, floors, etc. Especially in case of glass beams, a significant amount of investigations has been performed to improve the unsafe (brittle) failure behaviour of glass. Similar to reinforced concrete, reinforced glass beams have been developed in which stainless steel is added to the glass laminate to obtain a safe failure behaviour. The concept has been proven to be feasible when assuming statically determinate systems. However, the additional system safety of statically indeterminate systems has not been investigated yet. This paper presents numerical research outcomes on reinforced glass beams with statically determinate as well as statically indeterminate support conditions. From the results, is is concluded that it is feasible to apply such beams in statically indeterminate systems as significant system safety and a safe failure behaviour was observed.
