The application of glass as a structural material may seem surprising initially, yet Editors
pioneering glass structures were fi rst built two decades ago already. Ever since, Belis
Structural Glass has been developing at a very high pace thanks to very intensive

scientifi c and industrial research and new technological developments.

Right at the heart of these rapidly evolving developments, the European COST Action
TU0905 ‘Structural Glass – Novel Design Methods and Next Generation Products’
is active. With its main goals of unifying, harmonizing and boosting the ongoing
developments in structural glass research, COST Action TU0905 frequently organizes
international expert meetings and Training Schools, and supports scientifi c research
missions.
This proceedings volume of the COST Action TU0905 Mid-Term Conference offers a o M C COST Action TU0905
great insight into the latest developments in Structural Glass by means of more n O
i
than 60 peer-reviewed papers by nearly 140 authors. Contributions cover all major d S
S T
topics in the fi eld, ranging from in-depth material investigations to full glass - Mid-term Conference
t
structures and facades. As such, it represents an appealing work on this very young r t A
u e c
and dynamic fi eld, and is intended for a global readership of researchers and c r t
practitioners, including structural and civil engineers, architects, material scientists, t m i on Structural Glass
o
building consultants, contractors, material suppliers and product manufacturers, as u n

well as other professionals involved in the design and realization of structural glass
