Double Glazed Units (DGUs) consist of two glass panes held together by structural edge seals. Calculation methods for DGUs consider that actions applied on one pane develop effects in all the panes, due to the coupling from the entrapped gas. Various methods have been proposed in standards to evaluate this load sharing, which depends upon the stiffness of the glass panes, the thicknesses of spacer and the size of the DGU.
A comprehensive analytical formulation, the Betti’s Analytical Method (BAM), has been recently proposed to calculate the load sharing in DGUs of any shape, composed by glass panes of arbitrary thickness, with various support conditions at the borders and various types of external actions, including concentrated and line loads. Simple expressions can determine the gas pressure as a function of a universal shape function, which coincides with the deformed surface of a simply supported plate, of the same shape of the DGU, under un

Akarmak, a leading autoclave provider for glass, composite, building material, rubber, tire and sterilization industries, has successfully completed two installations in the USA.
The glass lamination autoclave installations were done in the USA for two major glass processors in Kansas and Florida in late February and early March 2021. The Kansas glass lamination autoclave project was delivered to Manko Glass, and is the second autoclave purchased by the customer within two years, for their location in Manhattan, KS. The second installation took place in Miami, Florida at Interglass.

Description:
The Swiss watch manufacturer’s museum twists up in a spiral that emerges from the ground. The architects from BIG and the structural engineers from Lüchinger+Meyer have created a sculptural building with an ambitiously demanding structure and facade.
