WHAT IS CHANNEL GLASS?
Channel glass is a U-shaped, translucent, machine-rolled architectural glass. Its unique geometry allows it to withstand imposed forces in ways conventional flat glass cannot.
It is usually used for interior and exterior facades. In this Muraba Residences glass louvre desining project, channel glass system is designed for vertical glass louvres.
ice channel glass. Aeesthetic choice for structural glazing
Timber joints used in traditional Japanese constructions have no metal plates or fasteners. Because these joints resist external force by embedment to each member, they show high ductility. The ductile joints get much attention recently. Japanese “Watari-ago” joint used in horizontal structure is one such ductile joint. The joint consists of two beams with interlocking notches, which build resistance against inplane shear forces.
