“…This is also the case of glass structures under dynamic/impact loads, or complex systems and glass stairs ( [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], etc.) where-in addition to conventional safety design requirements ( [1,2] and Section 2)-excessive vibrations may involve unfavorable feelings and require dedicated interventions, at the design stage as well as during the service life.…”

The vibration performance of pedestrian structures attracts the attention of several studies, especially with respect to unfavorable operational conditions or possible damage scenarios. Given a pedestrian system, specific vibration comfort levels must be satisfied in addition to basic safety requirements, depending on the class of use, the structural typology and the materials. To this aim, guideline documents of the literature offer simplified single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) approaches to estimate the maximum expected vibrations and to verify the required comfort limits. Most of these documents, however, are specifically calibrated for specific scenarios/structural typologies. Dedicated methods of design and analysis, in this regard, may be required for structural glass pedestrian systems, due to their intrinsic features (small thickness-to-size ratios, high flexibility, type and number of supports, live-to-dead load ratios, use of materials that are susceptible to mechanical degradation with time/temperature/humidity, etc.). Careful consideration could be then needed not only at the design stage, but also during the service life of a given glass walkway. In this paper, the dynamic performance of an in-service glass walkway is taken into account and explored via field vibration experiments. A set of walking configurations of technical interest is considered, involving 20 volunteers and several movement features. The vibration comfort of the structure is then assessed based on experimental estimates and existing guideline documents. The intrinsic uncertainties and limits of simplified approaches of literature are discussed, with respect to the performance of the examined glass walkway. In conclusion, the test predictions are also used to derive “perception index” data and scales that could support a reliable vibration comfort assessment of in-service pedestrian glass structures.

“…The simplest forms that can be obtained through cold-bending are single-curvature surfaces as well as double-curved anticlastic surfaces (Galuppi and Royer-Carfagni, 2015c), whose degree of curvature can be easily modified through a slight variation of the constraining actions. Cold-bending technique is extensively used also for insulating glass units (see, among the other, (Eekhout and Niderehe, 2009;Bijster et al, 2016)). Another rtechnique, applicable to laminated glass only and usually referred to as cold-lamination-bending or warm-bending consists, first, in constraining the unbounded glass-interlayer package in the desired curved shape and, second, inperforming the lamination process in autoclave.…”

The use of new generation thin, lightweight and damageresistant glass, originally conceived for electronic displays, is being very recently proposed for structural applications, in particular for adaptive and movable skins and façades. This paper explores this concept and presents a study on the structural use of thin glass in greenhouses for protected agriculture, based on the use of cold-twisted elements and on the exploitation of their buckling phenomena. This innovative kind of greenhouse is obtained by means of mechanisms typical of transformable architecture, as the modification of the curvature of the panels, allowing the "opening/closing" of the structure roof. The kinetics of the structure will allow to modify not only the orientation and the inclination of the different surfaces forming the greenhouse, but also size and shape of the openings. Numerical analyses and "design-by-prototyping" strategy, entailing the construction of a reduced-scale mock-up of the greenhouse, have demonstrated the feasibility of this concept.

“…One of the main important milestones related to the integration of those lightweight-transparent structures with heavyweight ones is the Pyramid at the Louvre in Paris, France. The structure of the glass pyramid is an early example of structural glazing stabilized with the help of cables [15]. In this case the space grid structure was innovative at the time in its large use of tensile elements [16].…”
