Originally known as The Master Building, 310 Riverside Drive in Manhattan's Upper West Side is a 28-story tower completed in 1929 as an apartment
In recent years, the desire for increased performance, transparency and visual flatness of glazing elements in curtain walls has generated renewed
Designing for blast performance for glazing units can be very complex. The test methods for evaluating performance include subjecting units to actual
Concerns over time-dependent argon permeation through the perimeter edge seals of insulating glass units (IGUs) led the authors to utilize two
<p>Incorporating a novel, transparent monolithic aerogel into insulated glass units (IGUs) for windows and building enclosures will provide the…
ASTM published the first version of ASTM E2461-05: Standard Practice for Determining the Thickness of Glass in Airport Traffic Control Tower Cabs in
Model building codes and standards in the United States use a probabilistic model to define glass load resistance (LR). In general, these model
Currently, most spandrel glass in commercial curtain walls comprises insulating glass fabricated using an interior heat strengthened glass lite that
<p>Thermal discomfort can occur in perimeter zones due to radiant heat loss from the occupant to a poorly insulated exterior wall. It is valuable for…
<p>Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the building sector is critical to limiting global temperature rise to less than 1.5⁰C. Construction and…
<p>Climate change goals will require significant improvements in the way buildings are constructed and operated. Building reuse can combat climate…
Effective thickness is a simplified method for the structural evaluation of laminated glass section properties. The method consists of defining the
There were good why reasons early US Modernism first evolved in California– wide open sites with no constraints (physical or zoning), and effectively
<p>Mid-century through 1980’s buildings with lock-strip or “zipper-gasket” glazing systems are an ever present part of the urban landscape in many…
The use of bidirectional scattering distribution function incorporated in a transient systems simulation program, allows engineers to accurately
<p>Curtain wall design commonly uses insulating glass units for vision and spandrel glazing to provide better visual harmonization of building facade…
Glass is a key component in building design. Benefits of utilizing Insulating Glass Units (IGUs) within a building facade are well understood,
Laminated glass with standard PVB has long been used for safety and security due to its ability to adhere the broken glass fragments together. As the
Window glass design using ASTM E 1300 entails determining glass thickness(es) and types so that the window glass construction load resistance
