Curved glass - Quality and application

Markus Feldmann, Ruth Kasper, Ömer Bucak, Marcus Illguth, Martin Bues

Abstract

The desire of modern architecture for free form structures opens a large market for curved glass. Compared to flat glass, the production of curved glass is much more difficult because of additional parameters through the bending process. Since there is no standard available for curved glass in construction so far, at present the rules for flat glass are being considered. However, several cases of damage show that the application of curved glass needs own regulations to avoid glass breakage on the construction site. Therefore, the Munich University of Applied Sciences and the RWTH Aachen University have performed a research program [1] concerning the quality control and criteria of curved glass.
