Project Description
The objective of the project is to develop innovative, single-curved and multiple-curved safety glass balustrades. This encompasses the development of a modular, ready-to-install structure, consisting of curved glass panes and a metal substructure to house the glazing and for mounting onto buildings.
The intended areas of application include both indoor and outdoor spaces. As such, the glazing must be able to withstand all environmental influences and mechanical loads. Firstly, the areas of application and planning regulations must be determined. The actual load-bearing ability of the glazing and substructure must be investigated to ensure that it can be used in construction. Numerical simulations are conducted throughout the entire development process. Component testing provides important findings about the load-bearing behaviour, both in the original state and after synthetic ageing. A demonstration will take place at the end of the project to display the practicability of the product in the field of construction.
