1E5 - APL2 - Glass - Structures VU PDF

1) The document discusses the design of a glass column made of bundled glass tubes attached together with adhesive. It analyzes the column as both a composite section and non-composite section with and without accidental breakage of tubes. Equations are provided to calculate the load capacity of the intact and damaged column sections. 2) Two broken glass tubes are analyzed as an accidental situation. Equations calculate the new location of the gravity axis, moment of inertia, critical buckling force, and tension/compression forces of the remaining five tubes. 3) The preliminary resistance of the glass column is determined by calculating the maximum allowed tension and compression forces for the damaged section based on the material properties and structural analysis.

Objectives of the lecture
Objectives
Design of glass column
Composite section Worked example
Non-composite 1) Assess the resistance of a glass
section
column made of bundled tubes,
a) Section A - A
Accidental situation supporting a roof, as shown in the
figure. Tubes are attached together
by the use of adhesive which
enables them to work as:
a) a single composite section;
b) a non-composite section. L
b) Section A - A
L= c1 4000 mm after failure
tube outside diameter d = 135 mm
thickness t = 6 mm

Design value of glass strength: 116,91


in compression fcd = c2 400 MPa 184,41 67,5

in tension ftd = 50 MPa

2) Assess the resistance of the same


column with two broken tubes - see
the figure.
