    The document summarizes a load resistance and deflection check for a proposed glass panel at the Marine Drive Hotel in Sri Lanka. The proposed glass combination of 8mm HS glass with a 12mm air gap and 6mm FT glass (8-12-6 DGU) was found to have a load resistance of 7.14 kPa, exceeding the expected wind load of 4.20 kPa. Deflection calculations found the deflection for the outer and inner glass to be 16.5mm and 14.5mm respectively, within the allowable limit of 19mm or L/60, whichever is lower. Therefore, the 8-12-6 DGU glass design was concluded to pass the load resistance check and have

    Load Resistance and Deflection Check


    Project Location Marine Drive Hotel, Sri Lanka
    Max Panel Dimensions (width x height) 1800 1500 mm(Width) X 2400 1800 mm(Height)
    Proposed Glass Combination 8mm HS + 12mm air gap + 6 mm FT
    Wind Load considered (in Kpa) 3 4.20 Kpa
    Installation 90°, Vertical
    Glass Thickness (in mm) Load resistance
    (in Kpa)
    HS FT
    Load Resistance of Outer lite 8 7.14
    Load Resistance of Inner lite 6 23.3

    Hence, load resistance of proposed glass combination 8-12-6 DGU is 7.14 Kpa
    and it can resist a wind load of 3 4.20 Kpa

    Deflection Check
    Aspect Ratio – L/B 1.20 1.33
    Area of glass panel – L x B 2.70 4.32 Sqm Load share factor

    Maximum wind load acting on outer glass 2.94 2.1 Kpa 0.7
    Maximum wind load acting on Inner glass 1.26 0.9 Kpa 0.3
    Load x Area2 (for Outer glass) 39.19 21.43 kN . M2

    Load x Area2 (for Inner glass) 16.79 9.19 kN . M2

    Deflection on the outer glass 16.5 mm As per deflection chart of ASTM E 1300
    Deflection on the Inner glass 14.5 mm As per deflection chart of ASTM E 1300

    Load Resistance and deflection check calculated as per ASTM E 1300

    Allowable Deflection limit for 4-sided support – 19mm or L /60 25.00 whichever is lower (L= Shortest Span)

    Conclusion

    Glass combination of 8-12-6 DGU, is passing the load resistance check and deflection is within the allowable limit and hence glass design is
    safe.

    Note - Allowable deflection criteria is considered as per Indian Building Code. For Deflection Criteria in any country apart from
    India, local guidelines shall prevail if any.

    Please note that Guardian does its best to ensure the accuracy of the results of the glass thickness evaluations. However, Guardian
    disclaims all liability whatsoever arising from any inaccuracy in or omission from this analysis and all the consequences of relying
    on it.
