Due to improved physical properties of glass the importance of incorporating an increased proportion of glass surfaces in timber structures has recently grown significantly. With proper integration of glass and timber, a number of positive effects related to occupant's comfort and energy efficiency of a building can be reached. From a structural point of view the increased proportion of glazing presents a problem of maintaining the stability of a structure as there is lack of load-bearing wall elements that contribute to the horizontal load-carrying capacity. The latter problem presents the main reason for executing the presented research. In this work the experimental investigations and numerical analysis of horizontal load-bearing capacity and stiffness of timber-glass wall elements are presented. Timber frame with an adhesively bonded glass panel represents a composite structural member. With its load-carrying capacity a timber-glass wall can contribute to the stability of a timber structure. Different types of adhesives are used to study their effect on the behaviour of the wall element. A variety of concepts are presented which differ depending on the type of joint, position of glass and method of assembling. An experimental investigation into seismic resistance of single- and two-storey prefabricated timber structures made of timber-glass wall elements is also presented and briefly discussed. A case-study of a timber-glass house is analitically analised. The integration of timber-glass walls has proved to be a good solution with a significant influence on the horizontal load-carrying capacity and stiffness of the whole structure.
