This paper focuses on the design of beams of glass strengthened with post-tensioned cables. Due to the strengthening the bending moments are decreased and the structural efficiency is improved, consequently the dimensions of the beams can be reduced. Post-tensioning the cables improves the bearing capacity and transparency of the structure. The effect of the post-tensioning is analyzed and the advantages as well as disadvantages are described. Recommendations and rules of thumb are given for the design of beams of glass, strengthened with post-tensioned cables and struts.
