Abstract

Abstract : New applications for transparent structural bonding. In structural glazing applications only connection points do disturb the transparency. Point fixing solutions are the less obstructive, but in general require drilling of the glass. This leads to stress concentration in the borehole area and jeopardises the tightness of insulated glazing units. For this purpose the Transparent Structural Silicone Adhesive (TSSA) was developed, a lamination foil which allows to structurally bond the point fixings to the glass. Baseline investigations on longitudinal rectangular connections with TSSA have been carried out and are presented hereafter. The bonding surface strongly differs from the original round point fixing geometry. The usability of the design values and failure criterias for different applications are investigated.
