The research field of timber-glass composites has become a dynamic segment of modern building construction where technical solutions are being developed and new applications defined. The existing timber-glass composites reach from timber-glass beams to timber-glass floor/roof panels and also to timber-glass wall panels. In order to join glass and timber with self-tapping screws, an additional structural element is needed to transfer the screw forces to the glass in a way that the stresses in the glass are held at low levels.
