An overview for materials and design methods used for enhancement of laminated glass

The attachment of more than one glass layer through the polymeric interlayer results in the formation of laminated glass. In contrast to other glass types, laminated glass offers better breakage resistance, post-breakage safety, and protection against noise. The breakage resistance and post-breakage...

Summary:The attachment of more than one glass layer through the polymeric interlayer results in the formation of laminated glass. In contrast to other glass types, laminated glass offers better breakage resistance, post-breakage safety, and protection against noise. The breakage resistance and post-breakage safety of laminated glass in residential and commercial buildings hold critical prominence and laminated glass sustainability is being investigated in academia and industry. This study conducts a survey of the literature to identify and discuss various materials and design approaches incorporated to augment the sustainability of laminated glass. The mechanical properties augmentation of the laminated glass through material incorporation has been studied. Similarly, the safety and sustainability augmentation through Finite Element (FE) analysis has also been reviewed. This study considers various simulations of the impact and blast loading on laminated glass through FE models. The material and FE design revelations of this study will impart practical insights into laminated glass sustainability augmentation approaches.
