Objectives of the lecture
Design of glass fin
Assess glass fin of the facade see figure. It is simply
supported and suspended from its top support. It is
bolted to the inside face of a glass facade and silicone
seals provide continuous attachment between the edge
of the fin and facade. It is assumed that for short-term
gust loads the silicone seals are capable of providing
lateral restraint to the edge of fin. It is also assumed that
the low modulus of silicone does not permit any T-beam
action between the fin and the facade.
