An Investigation On Stress Concentration Of Point-Fixed Bolted Glass System Subjected To Static Loading

Bolted structural glass facades have evolved to the point where the technique appears to have matured and become the most transparent facade system available mainly for storefront, walkways and lobby areas in buildings. The point fixed glass façade system (PFGFS), also known as a spider glass system...
