The researchers looked at how laminated glass with special layers performs under different loads. They tested different types of plastic layers between the glass and studied how they work with time and temperature. By creating a computer model, they could predict how much weight the glass can handle. The tests on real glass panels matched well with the computer predictions. The study shows that using a specific type of plastic layer can reduce the weight of glass structures. This means glass constructions can be made lighter without losing strength, which can be good for designing safe and efficient glass buildings.
