7 Bond Strength Elevated Temp (50ºC) This study is an attempt to compare the bond strengths for SentryGlas and Trosifol ES with glass at room temperatures and Elevated Temperatures measured through Compressive Shear Strength on un-aged samples. Weathering is kept deliberately out of the scope of this study as there is lack of consensus on correlation between accelerated weathering conditions in a lab and real time natural weathering conditions. 20 June 2018 Trosifol Business 7

18 Structural Use of Glass General recommendation for designing laminated glass without composite action Composite action is acceptable but with some caveats Maximum degree of composite action λ( Lamda) to be not more than 70% of the stiffness of an equivalent monolithic glass of thickness equal to sum of thicknesses of individual panes The 4 point bend tests should confirm that the interlayers have the capacity to adhere the two or more panes rigidly such that they form a monolithic body. 20 June 2018 Trosifol Business 18

24 Façade Resiliency against Cyclone / Typhoon SUG 2018 is the most stringent code yet it does not address impact resistance of glass facades due to wind borne debris. No missile impact test criterion unlike ASTM E 1886 and Australian Standards AS Small Missile Impact, 2 gm Steel 39.6 m/sec for Height > 9.1 Mts - Large Missile Impact, 4 Kg Timer mass ( 50 x 20m/sec < 9.1 Mts Criteria for post impact pressure cycling, makes ASTM standards very comprehensive 20 June 2018 Trosifol Business 24

25 Designing Laminated Glass Fins for Buckling AS 1288 & SUG 2018 addresses buckling Sub-sections provide formulas for calculating the critical elastic value for beams with and without intermediate buckling restraints The critical elastic value for beams that are continuously restrained against lateral displacement According to AS 1288, the ultimate limit state design moment for a particular structural situation is not to exceed the critical elastic buckling moment (M CR ) divided by a safety factor of Code only addresses monolithic glass How do we address laminates? 20 June 2018 Trosifol Business 25

26 Critical Lateral Buckling Moment Comparison (Dr. Luible) Describe critical buckling moment in terms of: Elastic Modulus of Material (Glass), Moment of Inertia, span, Shear Modulus of interlayer, support condition, loading type How can we visualize this information? 20 June 2018 Trosifol Business 26

33 Summary Ionoplast Interlayers enhance the structural performance of Laminated glass in both pre breakage and post breakage conditions Ionoplast Interlayers have the highest stability compared to other interlayers. Ionoplast Interlayers retain a considerably high bond strength at elevated temperatures. With SUG 2018, Hong Kong joins the league of other country standards accepting composite action for structural analysis of laminated glass. Its analysis approach is the most stringent. ASTM E 1300 is the most lineant. FEA for Glass Fins is complex. Analytical Approach for laminated glass fins is missing in all the global standards including SUG Interlayer properties have a significant impact on the buckling capacity of laminated glass fins. Dr. Luible s work may be adopted by glass standards for information of engineers 20 June 2018 Trosifol Business 33
