Abstract

1. Scope1.1 Scope of CEN/TS Design of glass structures(1) This CEN/TS applies to the structural design of mechanically supported glass components and assemblies of glass components. It complies with the principles and requirements for the safety and serviceability of structures, the basis of their design and verification that are given in EN 1990 - Basis of structural design.(2) This document is concerned with the requirements for resistance, serviceability, fracture characteristics and glass component failure consequences in relation to human safety, robustness, redundancy and durability of glass structures.(3) This CEN/TS is intended to be used in conjunction with:- EN 1990:2002 + A1:2005: Basis of structural design - EN 1991-1-1:2002: Actions on structures - Part 1-1: General actions - Densities, self-weight, imposed loads for buildings- EN 1991-1-2:2002: Actions on structures - Part 1-2: General actions - Actions on structures exposed to fire- EN 1991-1-3:2003: Actions on structures - Part 1-3: General actions - Snow loads- EN 1991-1-4:2005: Actions on structures - Part 1-4: General actions - Wind actions- EN 1991-1-5:2003: Actions on structures - Part 1-5: General actions - Thermal actions- EN 1991-1-6:2005: Actions on structures - Part 1-6: General actions - Actions during execution- EN 1991-1-7:2006: Actions on structures - Part 1-7: General actions - Accidental actions- EN 1993-1-1:2005: Design of steel structures - Part 1-1: General rules and rules for buildings - EN 1995-1-1:2004: Design of timber structures - Part 1-1: General - Common rules and rules for buildings- EN 1998-1:2004: Design of structures for earthquake resistance - Part 1: General rules, seismic actions and rules for buildings- EN 1999-1-1:2007: Design of aluminium structures - Part 1-1: General structural rules- prEN 12488: Glass in buildings - Glazing recommendations - Assembly principles for vertical and sloping glazing(4) This CEN/TS is subdivided into three parts:- Part 1: Basis of design and materials- Part 2: Design of out-of-plane loaded glass components- Part 3: Design of in-plane loaded glass components and special joints1.2 Scope of CEN/TS Design of glass structures Part 3(1) Part 3 gives design rules for mechanically supported glass components primarily subjected to in-plane loading. It also covers construction rules for mechanical joints for in-plane loaded glass components.NOTE In-plane loaded glass elements are primarily subjected to in-plane loads, e.g. transferred from adjacent parts of a structure. They can also be subjected to out-of-plane loading
