本文介绍了一种开创性的、全透明的自承式玻璃砌块立面。先前实现的示例使用嵌入的金属组件以获得所需的结构性能，尽管这些元素极大地影响了立面的整体透明度水平。不可否认，在这类应用中，“透明度和强度”这一矛盾修饰法仍然是主要的关注点。在这篇文章中，描述了一种新的、创新的玻璃砌块立面结构系统，它显然满足这两个标准。该结构完全由单块玻璃块建造，用无色紫外光固化粘合剂粘合在一起，从而获得最大的透明度。此外，所需的结构性能仅通过砖石系统实现，没有任何不透明的下部结构。与以前实现的项目不同，使用的是实心钠钙玻璃砌块，而不是硼硅酸盐玻璃砌块。本文概述了建筑与结构一体化设计，并对材料的选择进行了讨论。给出了系统的结构验证。结果表明，粘接玻璃块结构具有所需的自结构行为，但前提是玻璃块的几何形状满足严格的公差。
A pioneering, all transparent, self-supporting glass block facade is presented in this paper. Previously realized examples utilize embedded metal components in order to obtain the desired structural performance despite the fact that these elements greatly affect the facade’s overall transparency level. Undeniably, the oxymoron ‘transparency and strength’ remains the prime concern in such applications. In this paper, a new, innovative structural system for glass block facades is described, which demonstrably meets both criteria. The structure is exclusively constructed by monolithic glass blocks, bonded with a colourless, UV-curing adhesive, obtaining thus a maximum transparency. In addition, the desired structural performance is achieved solely through the masonry system, without any opaque substructure. Differing from previous realized projects, solid soda-lime glass blocks are used rather than borosilicate ones. This article provides an overview of the integrated architectural and structural design and discusses the choice of materials. The structural verification of the system is demonstrated. The results show that the adhesively bonded glass block structure has the required self-structural behaviour, but only if strict tolerances are met in the geometry of the glass blocks.
