Abstract

A requirement of overhead glazing constructions is that they have a minimum residual bearing capacity. Wide spanned broken laminated glass with a continuous or a discrete support has a risk of falling down. The solution is to fix the laminated glass to the substructure. Wire-cloth or other synthetic fabrics are embedded in the PVB-interlayer or the synthetic resin, near the edges were the glass is supported. The fabric can be fixed to the glazing beads or to the glass fittings with special connections.
