Laminated glass is used in several engineering and architecture applications to enhance their structural integrity. The mechanical behaviour after glass fracture, whose main aspect is a re-sidual stiffness, determines their utility. A theoretical model to predict the loading ca-pacity of a laminated glass flexural beam is proposed. The beam is subjected to four-point bending. A fracture approach which takes into account imperfections in glass plies and crack growth is employed.

Abstract
Laminated glass is used in several engineering and architecture applications to enhance their structural integrity. The mechanical behaviour after glass fracture, whose main aspect is a re-sidual stiffness, determines their utility. A theoretical model to predict the loading ca-pacity of a laminated glass flexural beam is proposed. The beam is subjected to four-point bending. A fracture approach which takes into account imperfections in glass plies and crack growth is employed.File in questo prodotto:
