Glass selection represents one of the core aspects in decision-making process and planning of glass curtain walls for architects, engineers, and clients among others. Wide variety of advanced coatings and surface treatments along with innovative smart glazing technologies such as switchable glazing and solar control systems offer a multitude of options for reaching design and performance goals.

This paper proposes system concepts and fabrication methods for the use of ultra-thin glass in facades.

A comprehensive numerical investigation was carried out to understand the mechanical behavior of cold-bent insulating glass units during the bending process. The aim is to derive a basic understanding of the mechanical behavior of an IGU during the cold bending process.

In this paper we will look at the potential of what is now a commonly used component in facade design - a load-bearing glass wall panel.

Cantilevered laminated glass balustrades supported by bearing in continuous base shoes are among the most ordinary applications of structural glass.
