“…Naturally, glazing elements mounted on the buildings' facades are exposed to large temperature variations, which should be carefully taken into account when the construction technology is chosen. The absorbed heat generates thermal stress in the glass, which can lead to a crack of the glass panels [22]. In the winter period, the temperature of glazing elements can show large variations.…”

Glazing plays a key role in the energy balance of buildings. The aim of this paper is to enlighten the thermal discomfort caused by large glazed areas in the heating season and to point out a possible solution that can provide proper thermal comfort with low energy use. It is unusual to discuss the negative effects of solar gains on thermal comfort during the heating season. However, there are cases when glazing may lead to unforeseen indoor thermal discomfort conditions. Laboratory and on site measurements were performed in order to assess thermal discomfort caused by direct and diffuse radiation. It was shown that the WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) index may exceed even 30 °C in the winter season in a room having large glazed area oriented to east. Laboratory tests performed in climate chamber have shown that the high PMV values cannot be reduced below 1.0, increasing the air change rate in the room. Using opaque drapes, the WBGT index was reduced by 2 °C, but the daylighting decreased substantially. It was demonstrated that by using advanced personalized ventilation systems, the appropriate thermal comfort can be provided avoiding the reduction of daylighting.

“…A safe design requires structures without the risk of catastrophic collapse [7]. To achieve that, in addition to permanent and variable loads, it is necessary to consider the effects caused by temperature changes, to which glass is particularly sensitive due to its brittleness [8].…”

The structural performance of cantilevered laminated glass plates for different glass thicknesses and interlayers is considered in this paper. Heat-strengthened and tempered glass plies and two different interlayer films were utilized. The response of laminated glass specimens is then evaluated under low-velocity hard and semirigid impacts. Experimental findings were simulated and discussed by means of finite element analyses. In particular, this discussion includes the evaluation of the influence that the fixed edge clamping technique (number of clamps, their size, and their stiffness) has on the stress distribution in the specimens.

“…Research in the field of structural glass columns, in this sense, has large scale potential aimed to provide additional knowledge and background towards the full design optimization of this structural typology. During the last years, several authors investigated the structural performance of mainly compressed glass elements composed of single monolithic or multilayer laminated glass panes, with careful consideration for their overall stability as well as for the implementation of practical design recommendations [1][2][3][4][5][6][7].…”

Glass is largely used in buildings as a novel construction material. Due to the intrinsic mechanical properties of such material, however, specific design recommendations are demanded in order to offer appropriate “fail-safe” requirements. This is especially true in the case of load-bearing structural glass elements where redundancy, stability and residual resistance should be guaranteed. In this regard, based also on a past research effort, the paper experimentally investigates the structural performance of full-scale square hollow glass columns, whose resisting cross-section consists of four adhesively joined laminated glass panes. Impact tests are carried out on in-plane compressed specimens, including both a reference undamaged column and a deliberately, preliminary broken specimen. The effects of multiple impact test configurations (inclusive of various release configurations for the impact mass as well as type of impact body) are hence emphasized, with critical discussion of the observed overall results and failure mechanisms
