COST Action TU0905 ‘Structural glass – Novel design methods and next generation products’ organises a mid-term conference in 2013. This two-day international conference addresses the challenging and rapidly evolving domain of structural glass.

The main theme of the conference is structural glass, which embodies the application of glass as a structural material in architectural and civil applications. Within this main theme, several sub themes are defined, which are listed below:

• Thermal fracture of glass
• Insulating glass units
• Actions [2] on glass structures
• Thermal tempering of glass
• Glass strength and aging of glass
• Laminated glass & Interlayer properties
• Numerical modeling & experimental validation
• Structural glass design philosophy
• Glass failure analysis
• Structural glass connections
• Architectural geometries with glass
• Stability of glass components
• Hybrid glass components
