Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9942675A1] The aim of the invention is to provide an especially stable, non-shattering glass structural element which also withstands bending stresses well. Said glass structural element (3) is to be used for constructing a wall, roof or ceiling section of a building and consists of at least two sub-elements (31, 35) which are stuck together over a large area with an adhesive or a bonding agent (38). At least one first sub-element is configured as an especially L- or U-shaped glass sectional element (31). The preferred materials for the two sub-elements (31, 35) are clear or figured glass, rolled glass or reinforced glass such as wired glass or tempered safety glass. A roof or ceiling element constructed from glass structural elements of this type can be configured as self-supporting, can be fixed without the use of special frame or support elements and still meets the very strict safety requirements for the protection of the persons underneath.
