Shattering Limitations

When glass reaches a certain stress level it doesn’t yield, it shatters, without warning or predictable focal point. But humans have been creating beauty and utility out of glass for over 4,000 years. Until recently in modern architecture, glass was used purely for decoration or to let light in. But in the early 1990s, a movement towards incorporating a greater proportion of glass into structures began to take hold, enabled by new material formulas and installation technologies. Abaqus can help ensure that glass used in building structures can support the loads required to clear the way for a wider variety of safe, beautiful, and innovative building designs.
