This paper presents a review on the state of art of analysis and design of glass window/facade system under blast loading, with evidence of available experimental outcomes, design methods and trends, open challenges.
The structural design of glass curtain walls and facades is a challenging issue, considering that building envelopes can be subjected extreme design loads.
Given the growing spread of glass as a construction material, the knowledge of structural response must be ensured, especially under dynamic accidental loads.
Overview of Design Issues, Experimental Research, and Developments
The present research study explores the seismic performance of single laminated glass panels with various point fixing solutions.
