Timber-structural glass composite systems in earthquake environment
Abstract
Structural glass combined with a timber frame is a composite system that has a predisposition for good behavior during an earthquake, it is energy-efficient and cost-effective, aesthetically acceptable and has a good load-bearing characteristics. In recent years, several research projects of composite systems timber - structural glass are in progress and according to the present results basic guidelines for further research can be determined.
