Glass has been overwhelmingly used for windows and facades in modern constructions, for
many practical reasons, including thermal, energy, light and aesthetics. Nevertheless, due to …

This state of the art review paper aims to discuss the results of a literature survey on possible
ways to reinforce printed concrete based on existing reinforcement strategies. Just as …

Nonstructural components typically are not designed for seismic loads, yet their behavior
can affect the postearthquake building functionality significantly. Nonstructural damage …

In contemporary architecture, the use of the glass curtain walls is increasingly growing.
However, after experiencing earthquake motions, they have sometime shown damage …

Glazed curtain walls are façade systems frequently chosen in modern architecture for mid
and high-rise buildings. From recent earthquakes surveys it is observed the large …

This paper reviews the existing studies related to seismic demand and experimental
investigation of the nonstructural building curtain wall (CW). Being treated as a nonstructural …

A probabilistic approach to modeling the seismic damage incurred by structural and
nonstructural components is developed in this study. The resulting models are intended for …

In-plane dynamic racking crescendo tests were performed on full-scale curtain wall mock-
ups dry glazed with six different insulating glass unit (IGU) configurations and one laminated …

In this study, a unified design approach is assessed and proposed for the shear buckling
verification of structural glass walls supported by non-ideal restraints. Based on the current …

In light of terrorist attacks and accidents, the need for structural protection against explosive
events has increased significantly in recent decades. Conventional unprotected windows …
