Influence of corner and edge distance of adhesive point-fixings for glass structures

摘要

Nowadays, bolted point-fixings are widely used, which implies that the glass has to be drilled and tempered. Consequently, the glass is significantly weakened exactly at the position where peak stresses occur when forces are applied. In contrast, this disadvantage does not occur when adhesive technologies are used in which the glass is directly bonded at discrete points.
