Fire-resistant structural component with glass pane

A fire-resistant structural component, comprising:

• a glass pane having opposite broad faces, a narrow edge face bridging said broad faces, and a glazing verge extending all around a periphery of the glass pane and including said narrow edge face and margins of said broad faces adjoining said edge face;
• respective heat-conductive layers extending along said glazing verge and in contact with the respective broad faces of the glass pane along said margins and configured to conduct away from said pane elevated thermal fluxes developed in said glazing verge and resulting from a fire to which said component is exposed;
• a support frame for said pane including means forming a groove receiving said glazing verge and said layers;
• and
• respective metal bridge strips disposed on opposite sides of said pane and each including:
• a glazing flange extending into said groove and juxtaposed with a respective one of said layers,
• a cover section extending away from said pane and angularly adjoining said glazing flange, and
• a radiating flange angularly adjoining said cover section outwardly thereof, and generally parallel to the respective glazing flange
• whereby the bridge strip on a fire side of said component takes up thermal energy and the bridge strip on an opposite side of the component dissipates thermal energy from a respective one of said layers to the surroundings.
