Engineering a State-of-the-Art Support Beam for a Massive Aluminium & Glass Architectural Canopy

Architectural canopies made from aluminium and glass are magnificent engineering achievements—but supporting them is one of the most complex structural problems any project can face. When a canopy spans tens of metres, is fully glass-clad, and projects outward from a curved façade, the challenge intensifies: where do you support this massive load without compromising the […]

🧱 Structural Design of Glass Balcony Partitions — Engineering Clarity and Safety in Modern Architecture

Executive summary Glass balcony partitions can be both minimal and robust when they’re engineered as a system: tempered glass panel + point fittings + stainless bracket + tested anchors. Using finite-element analysis (FEA) for the glass and code-based checks for steelwork and anchors, the design below demonstrates adequate capacity and serviceability under dead, wind and […]
