Structural Glass Design Analysis

The document summarizes the structural glass design of a glass panel that is 1.5 feet by 5 feet and 0.787 inches thick, based on finite element analysis. It provides the allowable glass strength, deflection, loads, and analysis of joint deflections, reactions, section forces, bending capacity, and deflection. The design was found to be adequate with maximum deflection of 0.21 inches and bending moment of 0.42 ft-k/ft, both within allowable limits.
