Gf‐seismic Project

The present paper reports a collaborative work between the structural glass group at the University of Coimbra and stakeholders from the Portuguese glass construction sector, under GF‐Seismic project [1] and associated research [2‐4]. The referred work aims to characterize the behaviour of point fixed glass façades when subjected to seismic action, which correspond to a knowledge gap impacting efficient and optimized design of such façades. The paper presents the global structure of the project and a short overview of the workplan and main conclusions. A comprehensive report of the work can be found at [1‐4].
