Description

Pre-tensioned point supported glass walls are widely used in modern architecture today. This paper deals with the stability of glass support structure to predict the collapse behavior of the same. All windows in their corners are connected to spider arm and thus transferring the wind force on the bowstring structure. The results of the analysis provide load-displacement relationship and the impact of the pretension magnitude forces on the stability of support structure. (Author)
