Glazing Calculation
Glazing Calculation
Try two sheets of 15mm thick toughened glass panes with a 1.5mm PVB interlayer with a coefficient of
shear transfer being 0.
In terms of deflection
hef;w = 3(153 + 153)
= 18.9mm.
In terms of bending capacity, the effective thickness
hef;σ = (18.93/12)
= 23.7mm > treq = 11mm.
Deflection check:
I = 1000 x hef;w3 /12
= 1000mm x 18.93 / 12
= 562.5 x103 mm4
δ = FL3/(3EI)
= 740 N x 13503mm3 / (3 x 70 x 103 N/mm2 x 562.5 x 103 mm4)
= 15.4mm < 25mm as the limit suggested by BS 6180:2011 cl 6.4.1.
