Finite element modelling of the structural in-plane shear behaviour of hybrid timber–glass diaphragms for BIPV applications

Key Points

• The structural in-plane shear behaviour of hybrid timber-glass diaphragms is crucial for their performance.
• Key metrics include load resistance and deformation under different conditions, which are essential for durability.
• Finite element modelling was employed to simulate responses under various load scenarios and conditions.
• The findings highlight the need for further exploration of hybrid materials in sustainable building practices.
