High Performance Laminated Glazing - SentryGlas

Structural analysis of laminated glass has evolved significantly in recent years. However, it still remains to be a debatable subject among most façade designers and structural engineers in India. With multiple analytical approaches prevalent in the market, there are various different options of glazing available for specific projects. The simple approach of adding up the thickness of glass layers and ignoring the interlayer thickness is commonly followed by engineers in India which often results in over engineered solutions. Finite Element technique based software packages, which can model the viscoelastic behaviour of the interlayer in the laminates are more rational and thus are getting wide acceptance worldwide.With the major push in construction sector aided by the fast track clearance of infrastructure projects, the demand for laminated glass is increasing manifolds. Today, glass has become an integral component of any modern building. In fact,it’s hard to imagine a building without glass in its façade owing to the broad spectrum of benefits it brings to the building architecture and performance. An architect’s imagination has always challenged a structural engineer by churning out innovative forms of the buildings.He often fantasies about the glass elements without framework, soas to make them look more appealing, which probably has lead to the invention of “Frameless Glazing”.
