Evaluation and Optimisation of Adhesive Point Fixings in Structural Glass Jonas Dispersyn Supervisor: Jan Belis
Point fixings increase the transparency Cons: Weakened Stress concentrations
Drilled holes are not necessary with adhesive point fixings Pros: No drilled hole Less stress concentrations Cons: Strength?
Adhesive point-fixing is tested for different parameters - Diameter point fixing - Glass thickness - Type of adhesive - Load direction - MS-polymer - 2-component epoxy - Tension - Shear - Combination Validation t 19 • Force-displacement • Stresses • Analytic method • Failure criteria 10 4 Ø 70 30 50
Design method based on experimental and numerical results explicit design rules practical recommendations for design and manufacturing possible to design a safe and economical adhesive point-fixing between glass and metal
