    This document summarizes load calculations for a finite element model of a glass facade. It includes calculations for dead load from the self-weight of the glass, as well as wind and live loads applied at each node. The results show that the maximum von Mises stress of 122 MPa is less than the allowable limit of 200 MPa, and the maximum deflection and reaction forces are within acceptable ranges.
