Abstract
Experimental tests were conducted to a curved aluminum plate to simulate curved monolithic glass plate as curtain wall because aluminum and glass almost have the same modulus of elasticity. Laminated glass plates with thickness 9.76 mm and 10.76 mm were also investigated. In addition, finite element program was used to simulate the experimental case of study and to investigate the best way to simulate curved glass plates. 6.2 Conclusions Based on the above findings, the following conclusions can be drawn as following: 1. During the experiment, the tested plate had risen along the center line and given positive displacement because the plate center line at crest point worked as stiffener to the plate while the line along plate`s quarter had a negative vertical displacement.
