Analytical, numerical and experimental prediction of the lateral-torsional buckling behaviour of PVB and SG laminated glass beams
No full textDue to the large increase of structural glass applications, the lateral-torsional buckling behaviour of glass beams represents a topic of great interest for researchers, as it is often crucial for the design of such members. Although several analytical models and design ap-proaches exist in literature, various aspects complicate their real out-of-plane response, especially in presence of 2 (or more) layer laminated glass sections. In the paper, analytical, numerical and experimental predictions for the elastic critical loads of several PVB and SG laminated glass beams subjected to well-defined temperature and load-time conditions are compared. At the same time, the accuracy of existing analytical formulations for the prediction of their typical load-lateral displacement path is checked with large series of test predictions
Belis Ivory in the Lamaholot Tradition
No full textThis research method uses normative and empirical. At the normative level, namely using the existing literature and at the empirical level with data directly from the interviewees, including the webinar that was held on November 7, 2020. Belis is a very important element in the marriage customs of the people in NTT, especially in Lamaholot. The giving of belis by the prospective groom to the prospective bride isn't only for proposing but also a symbol of the unification of the family of the prospective groom and also the family of the prospective woman. Belis ivory elephant is belis that has the most important meaning. However, in giving the elephant ivory belis, social status greatly affects this. The higher the social status of women, the more elephant ivory belis given
Strengthening effect of structural sealants on the LTB behaviour of glass beams
No full textGlass beam-like elements are largely used in building structures in the form of primary load-bearing members. Large studies recently focused on specific structural behaviours under various loading and boundary conditions. Lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) of beams, in particular, has been largely investigated through experiments and simulations. Based on previous works of literature, the paper focuses on the strengthening effects of structural silicone joints on the global LTB response of glass beams. Analytical and numerical calculations are performed on various glass beams, in order to highlight the effects of continuous lateral restraints on their critical buckling moment. Shear tests are performed on small silicone sealant joints. Interesting correlations are found between joint properties and beams geometry

Tinjauan Etis-Teologis terhadap Tradisi Belis di Pulau Sumba Berdasarkan Konsep Mahar dalam Alkitab: Ethical And Theological Analysis To The Belis Tradition In Sumba Based On Biblical Concept Of Dowry
No full textThis paper is aimed to determine the appropriate Christian attitude towards the practice of belis (dowry) in Sumba Island. The biblical, anthropological, and sociological concepts of dowry are the conceptual framework for understanding and analyzing the concept of belis. Based on systematic reviews and asymmetric comparisons of the Sumbanese belis concepts and biblical concept of dowry, it is found that rejection of the practice of belis is unnecessary. Belis can be practiced by Sumbanese Christians with a critical attitude. The goal is the transformation of the belis culture. Transformation is achieved through several actions: doing belis principles that do not conflict with biblical principles; rejecting the principles that conflict with biblical principles; and avoiding the practices of belis which have been distorted by deviating motivations either from the biblical or the rights belis principles.

Assessment of existing analytical models for the lateral torsional buckling analysis of PVB and SG laminated glass beams
No full textDue to the large increase of structural glass applications, the lateral torsional buckling behavior of glass beams actually represents a topic of great interest for researchers. Although several analytical models and design approaches exist in literature, various aspects complicate the realistic prediction of their typical out-of-plane response, especially if composed of two (or more) laminated glass sheets. Based on viscoelastic numerical results and predictions of a large experimental campaign of lateral torsional buckling tests performed on PVB and SG beams, the paper investigates the accuracy of existing analytical models in the prediction of the elastic critical load and load-lateral displacement path of these elements

Experimental assessment of polymers in glass constructions
No full textPolymers materials are often used in structural glass elements, in the form of safey interlayer sheet and various forms of structural adhesives. While these materials prove to play an important role in the overall load-bearing and safety performances of such applications, design values of involved material and product properties appear to be not so easy to characterize, in particular relating the specific time-temperature-ageing behaviour of polymer components and definition of application scopes and related performances requirements. This contribution gives an overview of the specific problems and questions rising when setting up experimental programs for assessing preformances of products and applications, and relate these to the current European standardization framework. It leads to state that more specific guidance of methodological nature would be useful, and to identity the main aspects such a guidance document should cover and take into account
