    Glass Thickness

    This document summarizes the design of glazing thickness for a panel with dimensions of 3200mm x 1000mm and a uniform loading of 3.68 KN/m^2. It calculates the allowable thickness due to bending stress as 6.13mm and due to allowable deflection as 8.07mm. It then determines that a glass composition of 8mm tempered glass with a 1.52mm PVB interlayer and another 8mm tempered glass layer has an effective thickness greater than both the required thicknesses.

    B. DESIGN OF GLAZING THICKNESS (PANEL P1) -
    MATERIAL DATA
    Strength of glass in compression = 1000 N/mm2
    Elastic Modulus E of Glass = 70000 N/mm2
    Strength of glass in tension = 41.0 N/mm2
    Allowable bending stress for tempered glass = 50.0 MPa

    Long Edge dimension, a = 3200 mm


    Short Edge dimension, b = 1000 mm
    Aspect ratio a/b = 3.20
    2
    Uniform Loading, q= 3.68 KN/m
    C.2. Aspect Ratio, a/b =
    a

    (From Book Roark's Formula for stress and Strain)


    At centre of panel,
    Maximum bending stress, ϭ =(ß.q.b^2)/t^2, where t is the thickness of glass,

    Maximum deflection, y = (α.q.b^4)/(E/t^3), where t is the thickness of glass & ß, α are given in the following table
    for various aspect ratios.
    TABLE 11.4 - CASE 1.

    From Table,
    ß= 0.51
    α= 0.1
    tb = allowable thickness due to bending stress

    td =
    allowable thickness due at an allowable deflection of shorter span/60.
    Therefore,
    2 1/2
    tb = (ß.q.b /ϭ) = 6.13 mm 11.57
    3 1/3
    td = (α.q.b /E/100) = 8.07 mm 11.33

    Glass composition is 8mm Tempered + 1.52 PVB Interlayer + 8mm Tempered

    EFFECTIVE THICKNESS FOR DEFLECTION
    Using IStruE(APPENDIX 3) , effective thickness hef;w with respect to variable actions:

    where,
    hk = Thickness of plies within a laminated sheet
    hm;k = distance of mid-plane of the glass plies
    w= Coefficient of shear transfer of PVB (Family 2) = 0.3
    hk = 8 mm 8
    hm;k = 4.76 mm 4.76
    Therefore,
    hef,w = 11.33 mm > td

    EFFECTIVE THICKNESS FOR BENDING STRESS

    Using IStruE(APPENDIX 3) , effective thickness hef;j for bending stress:

    hef;J = 11.57 mm > tb

    Therefore, 8mm Tempered + 1.52 PVB Interlayer + 8mm Tempered OK
