Worked example
Design a glass balustrade in a department store as a cantilever with
height h = 1100mm. Glass panels are continuously clamped and
design load is q. Check the ULS and SLS for convenient type of glass
for a) single layered glass, b) laminated glass (neglect the effect of the
interlayer).
q
loading q = a 1,5 kN/m
glass thickness: t = 8, 10, 12, 15, 19, 25 mm
h
fg,d = 18 MPa
heat strengthened
fg,d = 25 MPa
toughened glass
fg,d = 50 MPa
