Reinforced glass comprising laminated glass with a steel perforated plate is a feasible way of increasing the residual strength of glass, counteracting its brittleness. This important feature may be expanded by extending the reinforcement outwards of the glass panels to create a connection. It is proposed connect it mechanically to another steel plate while remaining adhesively connected to the glass. Preliminary tests showed the validity of the concept, which depends on adequate bending stiffness, to prevent buckling on the compression zone until tensile strength is reached on the steel perforated plates mechanically connected.
