To enable high strength connections of glulam elements a new method of reinforcing the glulam with steel sheets has been developed. The steel sheets are installed ‘ab initio’ during the production process of the glulam. In the conducted series of test suitable adhesives and treatments of the steel surface have been selected and evaluated...
Glued glass fronts are extensively applied and meet the highest standards. The objective of several research projects was the development of stiffening glass fronts to replace expansive frameworks or wind bracings. Furthermore, the use of timber-glass composite (TGC) beams was investigated. Within the research project "Load Bearing TimberGlass...
