Sommario/riassunto

Dieses Buch führt die Sonderheftreihe ""Konstruktiver Glasbau"" der Zeitschrift Stahlbau, in der seit 2006 jährlich ein Themenheft sehr erfolgreich publiziert wurde, fort. Der zunehmenden Bedeutung des konstruktiven Glasbaus wird seit 2012 mit dem deutlich umfangreicheren Buchformat Rechnung getragen. Renommierte Autoren stellen in zahlreichen Fachaufsätzen wegweisende Glaskonstruktionen und innovative Fassadentechnik vor. Außerdem werden wichtige Ergebnisse der Forschung präsentiert und neueste Entwicklungen im Bereich energetische Sanierungen dargestellt.
