Abstract

The presentation will explain, through the referred historical landmark projects, how the 50 years proven performance of structural Silicone Glazing is demonstrated. In the scientific explanations, you will have chance to learn:

-Mapping the basic load distribution on a piece of glass and how that load is transferred to the edges of the panel.

-Calculating the amount of structural silicone required to support the edge of glass.

-Identifying structural silicone as a thermal break in a glazing system.

-Referring to standards and publications that document the science, engineering, and performance of structural silicone glazing.
