Glass Bottle Earth Brick for Structural Wall Open
Brazil has a low percentage of recycled container glass due to multiple factors, such as inadequate waste collection and recycling infrastructure, low public awareness about recycling's significance, and insufficient laws to promote it. In…

Truss bridge design with reclaimed steel elements by performing a stock‐constrained shape and topology optimisation Open
To move up the circular economy hierarchy steel profiles should be reused instead of recycled. To efficiently utilise the limited availability of reclaimed steel elements in new structures, a different approach is required: form follows av…

A Novel Method for the Non-Destructive Assessment of Strength Degradation and Re-Use Potential of Weathered Float Glass From Facades: A Proof of Concept Study Open
Lack of knowledge about the properties of weathered (used) glass is currently a major barrier to glass reuse. This results in probably unnecessary recycling or down-cycling of architectural glass at the end of life. Avoiding this creates a…

Design, Engineering and Experimental Testing of Tubular Glass Columns Open
This research revolves around the design, fabrication and testing of tubular glass columns, with particular focus on their redundancy and fire-safety mechanisms; moreover, addressing aspects such as: the column shape; cleaning and maintena…

Investigations on the Cold Bending Behaviour of a Double Glazing Unit with a Rigid Edge-Spacer Frame Open
Free-form façades with bent glass are becoming increasingly popular. As bending glass provides it with a better resistance to out-of-plane loads, it can result in thinner glass. A promising new technique is to cold bend thin glass plates w…

Complex Curved Storefront: The Looking Glass Open
A bespoke structural glass storefront is designed for the P.C. Hooftstraat 138. Developer Warenar Real Estate assembled a design team with UNStudio, Arup and Octatube. The façade features twisted geometries with precisely detailed glass co…

Abstract of: Experimental analysis on the glass-interlayer system in glass masonry arches Open
In the last decade there has been an increased usage of cast glass as structural element. Within this respect, a 14 m span glass masonry arch bridge is planned to be constructed at the TU Delft Campus. This paper focuses on part of the exp…

Hybrid Glass Structures – Design Philosophy and Selected Checking Procedures Open
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 …

Stability of Dry-Stacked Glass Masonry Arch Bridges Open
The plan of the glass group of the TU Delft to realize a 14m span dry-stacked glass arched masonry bridge led to investigation of stability of glass arches in more general. Analytical and numerical analysis are done to compare results. Ana…
