“…The ability of a glass structure to resist loads is closely related to, amongst other things, its connection systems to other parts of the structures (Centelles et al 2019). With regards to land-based glass structures, significant engineering work is dedicated to the connections in such structures, as they are considered to be critical components of the underlying structure Silvestru et al 2019).…”

“…Furthermore, adhesive bonding has many advantages over mechanical connections, making them a preferable choice as a connection method Machalická & Eliášová 2017;Van Lancker et al 2016). Adhesives also have an aesthetic appeal since they do not have protruding elements and can offer a smoother transition between structural components (Centelles et al 2019;Katsivalis et al 2018). The latter will be beneficial to yachts where visual quality is paramount (Moupagitsoglou 2020).…”

In recent years, it has become popular for superyacht designs to incorporate large uninterrupted glazed areas in the superstructure. Larger windows increase the amount of natural light that enters the yacht and add to the yacht’s aesthetic appeal and exclusivity. Cruise vessels and other types of passenger ships have seen similar trends. However, window panes are currently isolated from the structural loads within a vessel and their dimensions are restricted by the presence of a frame as a conventional load-bearing structural component. The use of load-bearing glass components presents a solution to this problem as it can also add to the strength of a ship’s structure, thereby reducing the extent of conventional structural materials such as steel or aluminium profiles. Major challenges exist for the use of glass as a load bearing component in a ships’ structure. Even though a solid scientific background has been established for the structural use of glass in structures on land, a lack in knowledge exists of how the challenges in the marine environment can be addressed. This paper gives an overview of the requirements of a ship structure, and more specifically yacht structures, and describes the challenges associated with using glass as a fully integrated structural component. Further implications for the integration of structural glass in a superyacht structure are also discussed and suggestions for a possible design approach is presented.

“…On top of the beam, the load was applied on two points by transferring the load from a metallic profile to two metallic rollers, and then to the beams. Rubber sheets 2 mm thick were placed between the laminated glass beams and the metallic or wooden elements in order to prevent direct contact between glass and other stiff materials, which could lead to premature, undesired breakage Centelles et al (2019). These rubber sheets may have a small effect on the mechanic response measured during the test.…”

Laminated glass beams without metallic or polymeric reinforcements generally lack post-breakage strength and ductility. This paper aims to perform a comparative study by testing five different fully transparent laminated glass beam designs in order to see how parameters such as the number and thickness of glass sheets (3 x 10 mm or 5 x 6 mm), the interlayer material (PVB Clear or SentryGlas), and the thermal treatment of glass (annealed or heat-strengthened) affect the pre-breakage performance and post-breakage safety. A buckling analysis is also performed using a numerical model with ABAQUS CAE. The study includes a comparison between the results of different experimental mechanical tests on laminated glass beams, including the tests presented in this paper, as well as other tests found in the literature. All designs presented a linear elastic behaviour until initial breakage. The interlayer material mainly affected the crack shape of laminated glass beams. Beams with five sheets of annealed glass had a more progressive breakage, and therefore a safer behaviour, than beams with three sheets of annealed or heat-strengthened glass.

“…The first one was strengthening of structures using composite materials that are glued to the original structure [ 7 , 8 , 9 ]. The other group was multimaterial structures where mechanical point fastening was advised against, including glass structures (hybrid beams, prefabricated composites structures, façade elements) [ 10 , 11 , 12 ]. The most popular of these applications are epoxy adhesives, which are strong, stiff, and well researched in terms of necessary mechanical characteristics [ 13 , 14 , 15 ].…”

The use of adhesive to joint structural elements, despite many advantages of this technology, is not a method commonly used in engineering practice, especially in construction. This is mainly due to the poor recognition of the behavior, both in terms of testing and analysis, of joints made on a scale similar to the actual elements of building structures. Therefore, this paper presents the results of model tests and then numerical analyses of adhesively bonded joints made of high-strength steel elements in a full-scale (double-lap joint). In order to properly model the adhesive connection, material tests of the methacrylate adhesive were performed in the field of tensile, shear (in two versions: single lap joint test and thick adherent shear test) and bond properties. Comparison of the results of the model and numerical tests showed very good agreement in terms of the measurable values, which makes it possible to consider the results obtained in the adhesive layer as reliable (not directly measurable in model tests). In particular, the distribution of stresses inside the adhesive layer, the range of plastic zones and areas of loss of adhesion are presented and discussed. The results indicate the possibility of a reliable representation of the behavior of adhesively bonded joints of high-strength steel, thus providing a tool for the analysis of semirigid adhesive in large-size joints.
