3. Examples of Thickness Verification
As previously indicated, the verification procedure involves calculating the minimum thickness e

of a hypothetical single-pane, monolithic, annealed glass for the loads applied to the actual glazing, and then verifying that the pre-selected composition satisfies the comparison equation between e
R
and e

, as well as the deformation equation.
Suppose that the loads on a 0.9 × 1.5 m glazing unit, intended for a frame whose top rail is less than 6 m above the ground (c = 0.9), supported on three sides with a long free edge, are P = 1,200 Pa. These loads result in a value of e...
