3. Examples of thickness checks
As previously indicated, the approach followed for verification is to calculate the minimum thickness e 1 of the fictitious, annealed monolithic glass for the loads that apply to the real glazing and then verify that the composition chosen a priori satisfies the comparison equation between e R and e 1 and that of deformation.
3.1 Single monolithic glass
Let's assume that the loads on a 0.9 × 1.5 m glazing unit, intended for a frame whose top rail is less than 6 m from the ground (c = 0.9), supported on three sides with a large free edge, are P = 1,200 Pa. They lead to a value of e 1 ...
