@ OSG ons 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) 3 pcs of laminated glass Glass thickness ty ty 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.
