COST mid-term conference on structural glass

The European COST Action TU0905 ‘Structural glass – Novel design methods and next generation products’ organizes a mid-term conference in 2013. This two-day international conference addresses the challenging and rapidly evolving domain of structural glass. The conference will be held 18-19 April 2013 in Pore?, Croatia.



Conference themes

The main theme of the conference is structural glass, which embodies the application of glass as a structural material in architectural and civil applications. Within this main theme, several subthemes are defined, which are listed below:

• Thermal fracture of glass Insulating glass units
• Actions on glass structures
• Thermal tempering of glass
• Glass strength and aging of glass
• Laminated glass & Interlayer properties
• Numerical modeling & experimental validation
• Structural glass design philosophy
• Glass failure analysis
• Structural glass connections
• Architectural geometries with glass
• Stability of glass components
• Hybrid glass components
