Registration - The Science Behind Flood-Resistant Glass

AIA Webinar - The Science Behind Flood-Resistant Glass

March 19 | 11:30 AM EST | 90 Minutes |

Credits: 2.0 HSW

Speaker: Allan Gibson and Hector Luis Noguera Montilla

Description:

Flooding remains one of the most costly and disruptive natural hazards impacting buildings today. As extreme weather events increase, architects, façade consultants, developers, and contractors must rethink how glazing systems contribute to resilient design.

Join Kuraray and FENEX for a 90-minute technical webinar exploring how laminated glass systems are engineered and specified to perform as flood-control solutions.

Session 1: Flood Control Using Laminated Safety Glass
Allan Gibson will examine how laminated glass functions as a flood-mitigation element, including interlayer selection, hydrostatic pressure performance, debris resistance, and critical engineering considerations such as anchorage, deflection, and post-breakage retention.

Session 2: Flood-Resilient Design in Architecture
Hector Noguera will introduce dry floodproofing strategies and demonstrate how flood-resistant glazing systems are tested, integrated, and specified within architectural design.

Through real-world case studies, including NYU Langone, the Museum of Jewish Heritage in NYC and International projects, you’ll gain practical insight into permanent flood defense strategies, system testing requirements, and specification best practices.

What You’ll Learn:

• How flood risks translate into building performance requirements
• How laminated glass and advanced interlayers enhance flood resilience
• How dry floodproofing works and when to specify it
• Engineering and structural considerations for flood-resistant glazing
