The sensitivity to fracture is a well-known characteristic of glass. This paper therefore deals with the fracture of a laminated safety glass panel made of single-pane safety glass during a dynamic impact event. Potential scenarios were examined by experimental and numerical studies. For this purpose, different glass panel geometries were subjected to a pendulum impact test using the test setup commonly employed for fall-through-proof glazing (50 kg twin-tyre impactor) in Germany. Depending on the glass panel size and support system, the actual impact event is completed in less than 30 ms. However, the dynamic response of the glazing can continue and fracture occur at a later stage.
