INPUT - where:
b a t q E a = Long dimension (mm)
b = Short dimension (mm)
⎛⎝mm⎞⎠ ⎛⎝mm⎞⎠ ⎛⎝mm⎞⎠ ⎛⎝kPa⎞⎠ ⎛⎝kPa⎞⎠
t = Thickness of lite mm)
2100 2600 5.56 1.0 71.7 ⋅ 10 6 q = Wind pressure
(6mm) E = Young's modulus of glass (kPa)

SOLUTION -

STRENGTH CHECK -

Non-Factored Load, NFL ≔ 1.0625 kPa (Fig. A1.6)

Glass type : Heat Strengthened (HS)

Glass type factor, GTF ≔ 2.0

LR ≔ 0.66 ⋅ NFL ⋅ GTF = 1.4 kPa

if ⎛⎝LR > q , “SAFE” , “FAIL”⎞⎠ = “SAFE”

DEFLECTION CHECK -

x ≔ ln ⎝ln ⎝⎝q ⋅ ⎛⎝a ⋅ b⎞⎠ ⎠ ÷ ⎛⎝E ⋅ t 4 ⎞⎠⎠⎠ = 1.804

δ ≔ t ⋅ exp ⎛⎝r0 + ⎛⎝r1 ⋅ x⎞⎠ + ⎛⎝r2 ⋅ x 2 ⎞⎠⎞⎠ = 28.37 mm
