    Point Fixing in Drilled Hole

    Uploaded by

    Stefan Jakovljevic
    This document discusses different types of point fixing constructions used to support glass panels. It describes point fixings that are flush or non-flush with the glass, as well as rigid or articulated designs. The latest development mentioned is an undercut anchor design. Point fixings cause local stresses in the glass that are higher than linear supports. Proper consideration of the glass thickness and fixing design is important based on the stresses. Flush fixings with joints in the glass plane produce lower stresses than designs with external joints. Planning and installing point fixing constructions requires greater accuracy than linear supports due to tolerances.

    3.1.31
    Point fixings that carry the panes via holes
    drilled through the glass are available in a mul-
    titude of versions, most of which are patented. 1 6 2
    A distinction is made between those flush (figs 11
    3.1.33 and 3.1.35) and not flush (figs 3.1.32 3 7
    and 3.1.34) with the glass, as well as between
    4
    rigid (figs 3.1.32 and 3.1.33) and articulated
    (figs 3.1.34 and 3.1.35) types. The latest devel- 5
    opments include the undercut anchor shown in
    fig. 3.1.31, which has not yet gained building
    authority approval in Germany. However,
    approval for a particular project is possible.
    The use of a point support causes local stresses 3.1.32
    in the glass that are higher than those associated
    with a linear support. The maximum tensile
    bending stresses always occur directly at the 2
    fixing, and a drilled hole in the glass is always 1 6
    11
    a weakness. Drilling a hole always leads to
    damage (chips, cracks, spalling) to the glass 9
    surfaces within the hole, which then reduce the
    tensile strength of the glass. In other words, the 10
    areas of the pane of glass with lower tensile
    bending strength always coincide exactly with 8
    the maximum stresses! When deciding the
    thickness of the glass, it is therefore necessary
    to establish precisely the form, nature and posi- 3.1.33
    tion of the joint, the bearing surfaces of the
    point fixings and, if applicable, arrised edges. 1
    2
    The fixing with the joint in the plane of the glass
    (fig. 3.1.35) has a smaller eccentricity between 13 14 11
    the centre of rotation and the axis of the pane
    and thus produces lower stresses in the glass 9
    than the option shown in fig. 3.1.34. On the
    other hand, this fixing is relatively easy to com-
    bine with other components, e.g. tie bars.
    Instead of fixing the individual points of a con- 12
    struction, it is always necessary to consider the
    effects of glass, support and fixings as a whole.
    3.1.34
    Glazing held at individual points demands
    greater accuracy during planning, manufacture
    and installation than glazing with linear sup- 2
    ports. This applies to both the supporting con- 1 11
    15
    struction and the positions of the holes drilled
    14
    through the panes. The inevitable tolerances
    10
    must be observed.
