Safety in structural glazing

Glass has the desired transparency for use as crash-proof glazing, overhead glazing or facade constructions. Since this material is increasingly used in a stiffening and load-bearing function, this requires knowledge in the area of the applicable regulations up to the aspects of statics and the requirement of a project-related approval. These seminars are aimed at all those interested in the subject and are intended to convey the interplay of planning, construction and installation/assembly on the basis of the standards.
