<p>Glass handrail design in the United States lags behind best practice in other parts of the world. There can be as much as a factor of four (4)…
<p>Structural glass is used in a range of building applications, and while the ASTM E1300 has recently been updated to provide a design method to…
Glass is a key component in building design. Benefits of utilizing Insulating Glass Units (IGUs) within a building facade are well understood,
The research is structured around complex optical effects of undulated glass and coatings that exhibit high reflectivity, especially at higher
ASTM E 1300 Standard Practice for Determining Load Resistance (LR) of Glass in Buildings defines the load resistance of a glass construction as being

Climate change goals will require significant improvements in the way buildings are constructed and operated. Building reuse can combat climate
Manipulations of glass that have long seemed speculative are becoming possible with combinations of hot or cold bending, thermal or chemical tempering, and lamination.
The Architectural Glass Institute (AGI) of Philadelphia, Pa., sponsored its second annual Architectural Glass Student Design Competition in January, where third-year Jefferson University architecture students competed to design glass learning pods.
