Glass description
a= 2945 mm Glass Long dimension
b= 1600 mm Glass short dimension
t1 = 13.52 mm Thickness of inner lite (Table 4)
t2 = 6 mm Thickness of outer lite (Table 4)
Modulus of elascity of Glass,Eg = 72000 Mpa
Unit weight of glass,γ = 24.525 kN/m3

Loading
Design wind load,P = 1.51 Kpa

LS1 = 1.081 Load sharing factor for inner lite (Table 5)

LS2 = 14.752 Load sharing factor for outer lite (Table 5)

q1 = P/LS1 = 1.40 Kpa Load carried by inner lite

q2 = P/LS2 = 0.10 Kpa Load carried by outer lite

LR1 = NFL1*GTF1*LS1 Internal lite Load resistance

= 9.33984 Kpa
Load capacity of inner lite is greater than actual load

LR2 = NFL2*GTF2*LS2 Outer lite Load resistance
= 127.457 Kpa
Load capacity of inner lite is greater than actual load

Glass Center Deflection

b = 1600 mm (Glass short dimension)

a = 2945 mm (Glass long dimesnion)
L= Min(2945,1600) = 1600 mm
δ = Min (L/60,30) = 26.67 mm
(Allowable Glass deflection)

Center deflection for inner lite (As per X2.1)

r0 = (0.553-3.83(a/b)+1.11(a/b)2-.0969(a/b)3
= -3.340
r1 = (-)2.29+5.83(a/b)-2.17(a/b)2+0.2067(a/b)3
= 2.378
r2 = 1.485-1.908(a/b)+0.815(a/b)2-0.0822(a/b)3
= 0.222

x = ln(ln(q1*(a.b)2/(Eg.t1^4)
0.939

Center of glass deflection = w= t.e(r0+r1.x+r2.x2)

= 5.427 mm
