The book explores the breakage behavior of glass façades in fire conditions through extensive experimental and numerical investigations. It details full-scale tests on various façade types, including single, double, and coated glazing, under pool fire scenarios. The research highlights the impact of different glass frames, types, and thermal shocks on breakage. Additionally, small-scale tests using advanced systems were conducted to assess the mechanical properties of glazing at varying temperatures, providing a comprehensive understanding of glass performance in fire.
