Project: REF: CANOPY Date: Design of flat plates with 4 edges simply supported with uniform loading. Design & Material Data: Strenght of glass in compression = Elastic Modulus of glass E for Glass = Allowable bending stress for laminated glass = Long Edge dimension, a = Short Edge dimension, b = Aspect ratio a/b = Uniform Loading, q= Allowable deflection = span/175 a b 1000 MPa 70000 MPa 28.0 MPa 1712 mm Actual 1500 mm Actual 1.141 2.87 KN/m2 ENL HOUSE May 18, 2012 Output

At centre of panel, Maximum bending stress, =(.q.b^2)/t^2, where t is the thickness of glass Maximum deflection, y = (.q.b^4)/(E/t^3), where t is the thickness of glass where , are given in the following table for various aspect ratios. a/b 1.0 1.200 1.4 1.6 1.8 2.0 0.2874 0.3762 0.453 0.5172 0.5688 0.6102 0.0444 0.0616 0.077 0.0906 0.1017 0.111
