Wall Mount
All bracket sizes use the same wall mount.
Bracket bar is welded to the wall plate which
is bolted to the wall.
Fabricated from 304 stainless steel
Check strength of bar weld to wall plate:
3/8 bevel weld with convex finish both sides.
Weld filler is E316
The weld will provide full penetration weld
and develop full bar strength.
Tension strength of weld:
Pn = LtFua = 6*0.5*75ksi = 225k
Shear strength of weld at wall plate:
Vn = (0.7-0.009L/t)tLFua
Vn = (0.7-0.009*6/.75)(2*0.375)*6*75ksi = 211.95k
or:
Vn = 0.75twLFxx = 0.75*(0.707*.375*2)*6*75ksi = 178.96k
Vs = 0.65*178.96k = 116.3k 0.55*211.95 = 116.57k
Allowable moment on the bracket based on weld strength:
Mn = 6/2*116.3k = 348.9k
Strength of bar at edge of weld:
Z = 0.5*62/4 = 4.5 in3
Mn = 0.9*4.5in3*30ksi = 121.5k (bar yield strength controls load).
Maximum factored moment on the bar [1.2D+(1.6S or 1.6W)] or [1.2D+0.75(W+S)]
or for uplift [0.9D+1.6W]
Mu = 121.5k
Design attachment to wall for the imposed moment:
Loads resisted by couple formed between bolts and plate edge, rotation about edge of plate.

GLASS STRENGTH
Glass is fully tempered 2 layer laminated safety glass conforming to the specifications of
ANSI Z97.1, ASTM C 1048-97b and CPSC 16 CFR 1201. The minimum Modulus of Rupture
for the glass Fr is 24,000 psi. Glass not used in guardrails may be designed for a safety factor of
2.5 in accordance with ASTM E1300-00.
Adjustment for laminated glass (both layers equal) = 1.7 single layer strength
Allowable glass bending stress: 24,000/2.5 = 9,600 psi. Tension stress
Allowable bearing stress = 24,000 psi/2.5 = 9,600 psi.
Determine effective thickness of the laminated glass for stresses and deflections based on ASTM
E1300-09a appendix X11.
h1 = h2 = 0.219
hv = 0.06
a = 48
hs = 0.5(h1+h2)+hv = 0.5(0.219*2)+0.06 = 0.279
hs;1 = hs;2 = (hsh1)/(h1+h2) = (0.279*0.219)/(2*0.219) = 0.1395
Is = h1h2s;2+ h2h2s;1= 2*(0.219*0.2792)= 0.034
= 1/[1+9.6(EIshv)/(Gh2sa2)]
For heat and size use interlayer shear modulus of 80 psi (T 120 F)
= 1/[1+9.6(10,400,000*0.034*0.06)/(80*0.2792*482)] = 0.0658
effective thickness for deflection:
hef;w = (h13+ h32+ 12Is)1/3 = (0.2193+ 0.2193+ 120.06580.034)1/3 = 0.363 0.498
effective thickness for glass stress:
h1;ef; = [hef;w3/(h+2 hs;1)]1/2 = [0.3633/(0.219+20.06580.1395)]1/2 = 0.449 0.498
Ie = hef;w3 = 0.3633 = 0.0478 in4/ft
Se = 2 h1;ef; 2 = 2*0.4492 = 0.403 in3/ft
Bending strength of glass for the given thickness:
S = 12* (t)2 = 2* (t)2 in3/ft
6
Allowable bending moment on glass is:
Mas = 9,600 psi*0.403 in3/ft = 3,868.8#/ft short duration loads
Malt = 0.43*9,600 psi*0.403 in3/ft = 1,664#/ft = 138.6#/ft 1 month loads
Maper = 0.31*9,600 psi*0.403 in3/ft = 1,199#/ft = 99.9#/ft permanent loads
Maximum bending moment will occur at center edge of the glass light:
Mec = Ce*w*e2
Ce is from graph based on b/e where b is always the smaller dimension.
When b/e < 0.33 Ce may be taken as 0.125
For concentrated loads
Ml = 2CePe for concentrated load P at the light center edge
Ult = [(138.6/Ce)/e2] or
Ult = [(138.6/(4Ce))/d2]
Uper = [(99.9/Ce)/e2] or
Uper = [(99.9/(4Ce))/d2]

Total loads are based on controlling load combination (use D = 14.8 psf):

The allowable load shall be the lesser of the allowable load on the bracket for the support type
