<hr />
<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000">Structural Engineering Laboratory, IITM, has carried out testing, research and&nbsp;development activities related to glass elements for the construction industry.&nbsp;Current efforts focus on systematic research carried out on the material&nbsp;characterisation of structural glass pertinent to structural engineering. This is&nbsp;augmented by the research in axial tension and compression behaviour of glass&nbsp;panels to ascertain their strength and serviceability limit states. One of the&nbsp;major research initiatives is on the structural behaviour of annealed and&nbsp;processed glass panels and IGUs. Integrating building physics with structural&nbsp;glazing, performance evaluation of glass fa&ccedil;ades under extreme wind and&nbsp;earthquake and codification for effective and safe use are some of the long term&nbsp;goals of Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Madras.&nbsp;</span></p>
