Derivation of buckling curves of pane-like mono section glass columns of heat strengthened and tempered glass

摘要

In the recent past on the stability of glass panes under axial loading, i.e. of their buckling stability, only a few investigations have been performed so far in this direction, predominantly at cross-sections with mono-panes sporadically at cross-sections with laminated glass. Thus a research project was initiated by the German Steel Construction Association (DSTV) and the German Ministry of Economics, by which the buckling of pane-like glass columns with mono- and laminated sections was thoroughly investigated. The paper focuses on the results for buckling with monolithic sections of heat strengthened and tempered glass, giving buckling curves proposed by derivations and experiments.
