Developing the detection techniques and safety evaluation methods for the glass curtain walls is a challenging task. In this work, some new testing techniques were developed to determine the probability of failure by using dynamic tests and photo-elastic scanning method. A small device of polariscope scanning was designed and machined to detect the defects and stress concentration in tempered glass. In order to predict the risk of falling of the glass curtain wall, a testing device was developed on the basis of dynamic tests, i.e., determining the risk through evaluating the degradation of the nature frequency of the glass panel. Furthermore, the bend-stiffness test was used to estimate the air tightness of insulated glass and a simple tester was developed. The testing techniques have been applied in high buildings and the tested results show that the testing methods described above are feasible and effective.
