Hybrid Glass Structures – Design Philosophy and Selected Checking Procedures

Abstract

In this paper authors will summarise current design approaches for hybrid glass structures. Our past and present projects will be used to demonstrate how such structures can be justified using finite element analysis, analytical solutions in context of prescriptive national and international regulations, industry guidance’s developed and accumulated over past decades. General methods will be distilled, relevant for future hybrid glass structures.
