Recent advances in design technology have provided designers with numerical modeling tools that allow for accurate prediction of the behavior of structures under blast impact loads. These advances in technology, coupled with the increased need to provide façade designs that can mitigate damage under blast loads, led Sentech to develop and test structural glass systems that can be designed to absorb blast impact loads.
Sentech's cable net systems have proven to be an ideal solution for this type of applications because of their flexibility and highly ductile behavior. One of these systems was recently used in the renovation of the Court of International Trade building in New York.
