Influence of edge flaws on failure strength of glass Universiteit Gent
Glass is a challenging building material, among others due to the difficulty of defining its strength-related parameters. One of the main parameters influencing the strength of glass is the flaw population created at the edges of glass elements by cutting and polishing. The current study aims at correlating the configuration of edge flaws to the edge strength of glass. To do so, small-scale glass specimens were subjected to in-plane four-point ...
Size effect model for the edge strength of glass with cut and ground edge finishing Universiteit Gent Universiteit Antwerpen
Experimental validation of a numerical model for locally supported steel silos Universiteit Gent
Generally, the decisive design state of locally supported axially compressed steel silos is buckling. To predict the elasto-plastic buckling load with sufficient accuracy, it is recommended to replace conservative hand calculations by computer simulations. In this way, the buckling load can be predicted based on the actual stress distribution and stress concentrations in the shell wall taking into account the effect of imperfections. The latter ...

Edge strength of cut and polished glass beams Universiteit Gent
For the past three decades, glass has become more frequently used for secondary construction elements in façade glazing, as well as for structural elements. In the latter case, the edge strength becomes an important issue when designing a structural glass beam or a façade fin. Different parameters affect the edge strength of glass, such as 1) the type of edge finishing and the supplier, 2) the size of the element and 3) the load duration. The ...
