For this project one element is considered as a glass pane with a (small) edge beam on the vertical edges. In a first step different load-paths and boundary conditions were investigated. Even for very slender edge beams the load carrying capacity is far higher when introducing the loads into the steel instead of the glass. Accompanying to the numerical analysis experimental testing was done to verify the calculation model and outcome. In the second step multiple systems with different geometries, measures, stiffness and loads were examined determining deformations, stresses and stability-parameters. The analysis of the results showed some communality for all models that led to a surprisingly easy design and safety concept.
