PHYSICAL BENDING STRENGTH OF GLASS.
GLASS STRENGTH FORMULA
To calculate the glass strength, a special theory of
plate material deformation proposed by Mr.
Timoshenko is used. For wind stress calculation,
where the glass is supported at all four edges, the
wind pressure calculation formula in page 44 is
used.
EDGE SUPPORT CONDITION
Any point along the corners or glass edges must
be strong and well-supported.
MAXIMUM BENDING STRESS AND MAXIMUM.
DEFLECTION.
The place where maximum bending stress and
maximum deflection occur will vary according to
the supporting method or loading condition. The
calculation formula in the next pages shows that
for oc, §c the maximum bending stress and
maximum deflection occur in the central zone area
of the glass.For ae, fe, the maximum bending and
maximum deflection will occur at the mid-point of
the glass length of the glass edges respectively.
After obtaining oc, Ge from the calculation
formula, the results shall be compared with the
corresponding figures in the short term allowable
bending stress shown in table 1 (Gac, cae)

Deflection §1 =
LONG TERM LOAD
Occurring long term loading is a characteristic
feature when glass is used for water tanks and
shelves. The fatigue will lower glass strength, thus
there is a need to compare results with long term
allowable stress.
DEFLECTION AND VIBRATION
When a load is applied, and should a big deflection
or vibration occur, a distorted appearance may
result. These factors should thus be considered
‘When using strong glass, such as tempered glass.
When loading is very close to the allowable stress,
there isa tendency for a very big deflection,
Therefore, itis necessary to check the deflection of
the glass.
LAMINATED GLASS AND DOUBLE GLAZING GLASS
In these cases, the deflection of each glass in the
combination will be the same, so the loading will
be proportionately shared by each glass
thickness.
