Flexural–torsional buckling: Experimental analysis of laminated glass elements
Highlights Buckling experiments are performed on laminated glass columns. Effects of load eccentricity are experimentally, analytically and numerically investigated. Influence of imperfections, temperature, time-loading on their buckling response is analyzed. Viscoelastic numerical models provide good correlation with test results. Equivalent thickness approaches can be used to correctly predict the critical buckling load.
Abstract Buckling failure is a common condition of collapse for structural glass elements typically characterized by high slenderness ratios. Due to a combination of multiple mechanical and geometrical aspects, the effective buckling resistance of glass load-carrying elements is complex to predict, especially in presence of laminated cross sections or interacting applied loads. In this work, buckling experiments are performed on laminated glass beam-columns having rectangular cross section and subjected to combined uniaxial compression and bending. Extended numerical and analytical comparisons with test results are performed. As shown, a general good agreement is found between experimental results and existing prediction models.
