Laminated glass connections revolutionize building safety, enabling transparent, durable structures.
In the study, a new type of sturdy connection for glass structures was tested. By embedding a thick steel plate with internal threads into laminated glass, a strong and visually appealing connection was created. The researchers aimed to understand how well this connection holds up under pressure. The tests showed that these embedded connections are reliable and can support heavy loads. This method provides a secure way to join glass components, like beams, to other surfaces. The connection's strength was confirmed through experiments on small-scale samples until the maximum load the connection could withstand was reached. This innovative approach offers a promising solution for creating durable and aesthetically pleasing glass structures.
