Sructural glazing
Structural glazing and curtain walls both use glass in building facades but differ in their structural properties. Structural glazing uses glass as a structural member that transfers loads from top to bottom through the glass. It can have longer spans and loads must be considered in design. Curtain walls are non-structural and do not transfer loads. They typically have shorter spans and no load calculations are required for design. Common glazing systems like bolted, fin-supported, and cable-stayed glazing are discussed along with their advantages like increased natural light and aesthetics and disadvantages like higher costs. Examples of landmark buildings using structural glazing are also provided.
