  • Thin Glass As Cold Bent Laminated Panels in Architectural Applications by N.I
    Thin Glass as Cold Bent Laminated Panels in Architectural Applications by N.I. Schlösser Thin Glass as Cold Bent Laminated Panels in Architectural Applications in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Building Engineering at Delft University of Technology to be defended publicly on Friday the 27th of July 2018 by Naomi Schlösser 4154266 An electronic version of this thesis is available at http://repository.tudelft.nl/ Preface Before you lies the final report of my graduation research, written to meet the requirements for a Master of Science degree in Building Engineering with a specialization in Structural Design at Delft University of Technology. The topic of this research concerns thin glass in architectural applications, focussing on cold bent laminated panels. By choosing this field of expertise, I had the opportunity to combine my love for architecture and engineering. I was able to expand my theoretical knowledge by conducting real life experiments. An opportunity I’m very grateful for with many people supporting me. I therefore would like to acknowledge those who have helped me complete this research. First of all, I would like to thank my graduation committee and all the people involved from Delft University of Technology. Rob Nijsse, the chairman of the committee, who always had the patience to share his broad knowledge on structural glass and inspired me to push the boundaries. Telesilla Bristogianni, who introduced me to the field of glass, continuously remained positive and guided me throughout my entire research. Christian Louter, who shared his knowledge on thin glass and introduced me to everyone needed to complete this thesis.
