Laminated glass beams with thick embedded connections - Numerical analysis of full-scale specimens during cracking regime

In the typical FE model, the geometrical and mechanical properties of the reference specimens are properly taken into account, so to explore both the elastic and post-cracked performance of the LG beams object of study, under specific loading conditions. Comparative results are then critically discussed, giving evidence of major structural performances for the selected configurations, and including a concise parametric study.
