Glass and Polymers I: Glass Structures

The students are able to work in a group in a goal-oriented manner for the joint solution of an engineering task. of an engineering task. The students are able to design and dimension linear to design, constructively assess and dimension linear glass constructions. The know approaches for the dimensioning of point-fixed glass constructions. Glass products with kinds of finishing, float glass, heat stregthened glass, thermally toughened glass, insulated glazings, laminated glass; safety theory, failure probabilities; special features of glass dimensioning (coupling effect, shear bond, membrane effect); Dimensioning of glazing (insulating glazing, single glazing, overhead glazing) Structural design, bearing details Glazing with special requirements (e.g. fall protection, ....),; required test monitoring measures and approval procedures
