USE OF GLASS IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION

Diplomsko delo obravnava uporabo stekla v gradbeništvu, zato se bomo sprehodili skozi zgodovinske prelomnice pri razvoju stekla ter podrobneje prikazali proizvodnjo le-tega. Opisali bomo poglavitne karakteristike konstrukcijskega stekla, njegovo uporabnost v gradbeništvu ter vrste stekla, primerne za izdelavo steklenih fasad. Podrobneje se bomo seznanili s tipi steklenih fasad in z vrstami sončne zaščite glede na material, način pritrditve in obliko. Spoznali bomo zgodovinski razvoj in oblike steklenih streh in nadstreškov ter opisali steklo kot nosilni konstrukcijski material. Dotaknili se bomo predpisanih tehničnih smernic za uporabo stekla v konstrukcijah in tehničnih smernic za varnostne zasteklitve ter zaključili z obrazložitvijo naveze les-steklo.Thesis deals with the use of glass in construction, therefore we will walk through the historic turning points in the development of glass and further display production. We will describe the main characteristics of the construction glass, its usefulness in the construction industry and the type of glass, suitable for making glass facades. We will see in more detail the types of glass facades and the types of solar protection, depending on the material, method of the affixing, and shape. We will get to know the historical development and shape of the glass roofs and awnings and describe the glass as a load-bearing structural material. Shortly we laid down technical guidelines for the use of glass in structures and technical guidelines for protective glazing and completed with an explanation of the train wood-glass
