    The document analyzes the strength and deflection of a 1200mm high glass panel that is 20mm thick and heat strengthened. It calculates bending stresses and deflections due to various live and wind loads. The maximum bending stresses are found to be below the allowable stress of 56.05 N/mm^2. The maximum deflections are also below the allowable deflection of 30mm. The conclusion is that the 20mm thick glass panel meets both the strength and serviceability criteria as per specifications.
