This paper focuses on a recently developed concept, in which glass is combined with timber to provide post-breakage strength and ductility.

Novel innovative glass–plastic-composite panels combining a lightweight polymer polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) interlayer core and cover layers of thin glass are currently under development.

Overview, Case Studies and Future Potentials

Combining transparency with a high compressive strength, glass enables us to make diaphanous load-bearing compressive members, from beams and columns to free-standing facades and entire glass structures.

The project HYbrid GLAss-Steel Stele (HYGLASS) aims at the realization of a cantilevering hybrid vertical structure working as a stand-alone or a grid-connected smart tower.

Equity Glass Co. is a full-service glass and glazing operation with curtain wall, storefront, entrance doors, handrails, all-glass systems, interior glazing and more, marketed to the Dallas/Fort Worth market.
