EDWARDSVILLE The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Engineering (SOE) is hosting its third SIUE Energy Symposium at noon Wednesday, April 21. This year’s theme is Sustainable Campuses.
“We have focused on creating an annual event to become the top-of-mind institution when people talk about energy, climate change, and sustainability topics in the region” said Serdar Celik, PhD, professor and graduate program director in the SOE Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering. “We hope to increase understanding of regional and global energy issues and promote awareness on various energy topics. With this year’s theme focusing on sustainable campuses, we decided to bring together experts in sustainability from both U.S. and European sides.”

Shells made of structural glass are beautiful objects from both the aesthetics and the engineering point of view. However, they pose two significant challenges. The first one is to assure adequate safety and redundancy concerning possible global collapse. Being single-layered, in a shell made of structural glass, the brittle cracking of a single pane can lead to a sudden propagation of failure, up to instability.
The second one is to guarantee cheap replacing possibilities for potentially collapsed components. This research explores a novel concept to address both requirements, where glass is both post-tensioned and reinforced and develops the research on TVT post-tensioned glass beams.

The Novo Nordisk Foundation is an independent Danish foundation with corporate interests. It has two objectives: 1) to provide a stable basis for the commercial and research activities of the companies in the Novo Group; and 2) to support scientific, humanitarian and social causes.
The vision of the Foundation is to contribute significantly to research and development that improves the lives of people and the sustainability of society. Since 2010, the Foundation has donated more than DKK 30 billion (€4 billion), primarily for research at public institutions and hospitals in Denmark and the other Nordic countries as well as research-based treatment and prevention of diabetes.
