In this work, a combined Voronoi and finite-discrete element method (FDEM) approach for reconstructing the post-fracture model of laminated glass (LG) was proposed.
This paper explores the flexural strength of recycled cast glass—a property relevant to the engineering practice.
European flat glass manufacturers promotes the dismantling, collection and recycling of end-of-life building glass (from windows, glazing and other products) to ensure that end-of-life flat glass does not end up in landfill. Glass for Europe was in Long Beach, California for the NGA Glass Conference. The event...
Şişecam Temperable Solar Control Low-E Glass Neutral 62/44 product was used in the project. Europe’s largest flat glass manufacturer Şişecam’s flat glass products were preferred in the Kumport project in Istanbul Ambarlı, where the port facilities were redesigned. Şişecam Temperable Solar...
FIRESWISS FOAM is a type of class EI fire-resistant glass that provides vital protection against dangerous heat radiation. This distinctive property is based on thermal insulation: the side of the glass facing away from the fire only heats up by around 100 K even at fire temperatures of almost 1,000ºC. FIRESWISS FOAM...
