Transparent and subtle structures are features of modern architecture. Structural glass is constructional material that provides to realize architect's visions and ideas. Glass as a constructional material is more often used as a material for primary load-bearing structures. Realization of safe, reliable and economic glass structure is real challenge for structural engineers because of absence of standards for designing of glass members and elements. Compressed members (columns), bended members (beams) and members loaded by compression and bending (beam-columns) were analysed in the frame of the doctoral thesis whereby the emphasis is being placed on the lack of stability – flexural buckling, lateral-torsional buckling and flexural-lateral-torsional buckling. Measuring of shape and amplitude of initial geometrical imperfections is a part of doctoral thesis. The theoretical analysis describes the behaviour of the member by means of solving the differential equations. The solution according to the second order theory developed for metal members is applied on structural laminated glass members with use of effective cross-sectional characteristics. Numerical analysis is focused on the use of commonly available software based on finite element method in order to predict the load-bearing resistance of laminated glass members. Actual behaviour of laminated and monolithic structural glass members was found within experimental program. The correctness of FEM model and analytical solutions were evaluated by comparing with test results. The goal of the doctoral thesis was determine of buckling curves for calculation of flexural buckling and lateral-torsional buckling resistances by the same calculation procedure as for metal members. Because of small number of experimentally tested specimens the Monte Carlo simulation was performed.
