Double Glazed Units (DGUs) consist of two glass panes held together by structural edge seals. Calculation methods for DGUs consider that actions applied on one pane develop effects in all the panes, due to the coupling from the entrapped gas. Various methods have been proposed in standards to evaluate this load sharing, which depends upon the stiffness of the glass panes, the thicknesses of spacer and the size of the DGU.
A comprehensive analytical formulation, the Betti’s Analytical Method (BAM), has been recently proposed to calculate the load sharing in DGUs of any shape, composed by glass panes of arbitrary thickness, with various support conditions at the borders and various types of external actions, including concentrated and line loads. Simple expressions can determine the gas pressure as a function of a universal shape function, which coincides with the deformed surface of a simply supported plate, of the same shape of the DGU, under un

In-depth knowledge of the glass industry, attention to customer needs, constant desire to grow and innovate, these are the characteristics of MaVetro and also the characteristics of Mappi.
It has been 10 years now since Edgar Goncalves started taking care of the maintenance of glass processing machines. This allowed him to know the production processes well, and above all the needs of those who work this material. It was therefore natural to move on to deal with the sale of machines, from 2013.
From 2019 this structure takes the current name of MaVetro. In-depth knowledge of the glass industry, attention to customer needs, constant desire to grow and innovate, these are the characteristics of MaVetro and also the characteristics of Mappi.

Erin Mills Town Centre is a shopping mall in Mississauga, Canada owned by Cushman & Wakefield in Toronto. The revitalization project was designed by MMC International Architects Ltd. and features a 27.4m diameter glass and steel globe at its Centre Court. The structural glass for this globe structure is created with laminated double curved glass panels patch supported by a steel structure.
Some challenges arose during construction due to the frit on the glass panel and the thermal stress created between the inner and outer lites of the laminated assembly. Testing was used to establish a workable solution for replacement glass in order to correct the in-situ issue that was discovered.
