Assessment of design procedures for structural glass beams

In structural design, ductile materials are usually preferred, because failure is rarely sudden and catastrophic. Once the material has yielded, large observable strains will occur before total collapse of a structure. This thesis is about the structural use of glass. Glass is probably the most perf...
