Strength of glass determined by the relation of the critical flaw to the fracture mirror

Jean-Paul Lebet, Maria Lindqvist

Tensile strength of structural glass elements is highly influenced by flaws. For this paper, the study concentrates on the fracture origin i.e. the critical flaw, situated at the edge of a glass element. In the current study the influence of two different ...

Edge strength model for glass based on the mirror zone depth

Pieter Christian Louter

A reliable assessment of the edge strength becomes an important issue when designing structural glass elements in buildings. However, in the literature the edge strength of glass, dependent on the edge quality, is not well documented. Therefore, in this st ...

Analysis and design of an innovative solution for tunnels using elastic-plastic stress fields

Aurelio Muttoni, Stefano Campana

For the conception of cut-and-cover tunnel, two solutions are usually considered to define the cross-section : an arch/vault or a frame. The vault enables an optimal static behavior in case of a large soil cover and symmetric loads. However, this solution ...
