Can timber-framed homes using Irish timber be part of solution to reduce carbon emissions?

‘80 per cent of Irish timber is exported to other countries (mainly England) where much of it is used in timber framed buildings,’ constuction expect says ....

Glass Design in Switzerland

In the past glass design in Switzerland was based on foreign standards and regulations. Questions raised whether the application of these standards is suitable, as they do not comply with the Swiss Standard SIA 260 –Basis of design. The most used standards are the German technical regulations for the use of glazing with linear supports (TRLV) and the DIN 18008. The Swiss society of engineers and architects (SIA) initiated a structural glass standard committee with the task to develop a Swiss glass design standard.
The new Swiss glass design standard is based on the same concept as the Eurocode10 Design of Structural Glass , which is currently in preparation. In future, this standard will be the basis of the Swiss national annex of the Eurocode. An important issue in glass design practice is the shear coupling effect in laminated glass. The standard allows taking into the shear coupling effects and thus will lead to more economic pane thickness.A new concept was devel ....

Behaviour of Different Glass Elements subjected to Elevated Temperatures – State of the Art

Ghent University, Belgium
Glass has become an indispensable construction material. However, in extreme events such as fire, the behaviour of glass elements is still relatively unknown. The susceptibility of glass to thermal shock and its changeable material properties when subjected to high temperatures make predicting the behaviour of glass elements during fire complex.Practical applications of fire-resistant glazing, however,already exist as infill panels and frameless glass walls/doors, and are commonly used.
They are highly effective to maintain compartmentation, providing temporary protection of the unexposed side against the passage of flames and smoke and, depending on the classification, they also provide thermal insulation. This paper gives astate of the art overview of experimental research performed on glazing subjected to fire loading. Studies on temperature-dependent properties, monolithic glazing and layered glass products exposed to heating are summarised. T ....
