Abstract

Although bent laminated glass has been utilized recently in constructing buildings, the curves at ASTM E1300 do not display its design. Designers now have to utilize a base for these kinds of glass curtain walls. As far as authors are aware, no one has done a thorough analysis of bent laminated glass LG. Thus, experimental and theoretical results for pressure-loaded Non-Linearly bent laminated glass panes are provided and explored in this study. Four Bent Glass Panes with different thicknesses were experimentally tested for failure under pressure load. Utilizing the Abaqus software, finite element analysis (FEM) was performed to compare the experimental data. In order to identify appropriate element types and supporting conditions that the experimental model might performed; a numerical analysis was carried out using the ABAQUS 6.14 program. The test panel was attached to a sealed chamber that the authors constructed and silicone-glued. To simulate a positive pressure on the test panel's outside, the chambers inside air was sucked out. The tested system had a displacement transducer and strain gauge attached to detect the displacement and strain when the chamber's pressure decreased. The element that can most closely resemble a thin Bent glass light is the shell element. This experimental study's outcome serves as a document for. The result from this experimental study provides paper for non-linear bent laminated glass for further investigations and developments on such type
