MATERIAL-GLASS
GLASS
 Glass is an inorganic product of fusion that has cooled to a rigid solid
without undergoing crystallization. It may be transparent, translucent
or shiny depending upon the quantities of its basic constituents such as
sand, soda & lime. By varying their quantities & using certain special
additives, the properties and characteristics of glass are modulated to
obtain a large variety.
 It is an ancient building material, which facilitated penetration of light
into buildings. Once it was used exclusively for window panes, whereas
nowadays there are examples of structures made of glass only. Apart
from the traditional non-bearing application in engineering, it is
progressively used for construction of bearing elements.The
progressively stricter regulations dealing with energy efficiency of the
buildings gives rise to application of special characteristics glass of high
performance, but also to the more intensive research in this field.The
adequate choice of the glass type can to a great extent improve the
energy efficiency of the building.
 Three most attractive traits of glass: the ability to transmit light, block
heat and safety issues

brilliant surface, whereas sheet glass has slight
distortions. Both are referred as normal
(annealed) glass and can be processed to
obtain many different varieties of glass for use
in buildings.

Heat strengthened glass
 Heat strengthened glass is a
type of tempered glass which
has been strengthened
thermally by inducing a
surface compression of 422 to
658 kg/cm2 as compared to a
range of 770 to 1462 kg/cm2
in case of fully tempered
glass. It is a separate process.
It is valued for its mechanical
strength, which is twice that
of normal annealed glass
though half of fully tempered
glass..
 Properties
• Density (approximate) : 2.42 – 2.52 g/cm3
•Tensile strength : 120 to 200 N/sq. mm

3660mm (Bigger sizes can also be made)
• Shading co-efficient : 0.5 for 12 mm thick gray to
1.0 for 2 mm thick clear
•Visible light transmittance : 20% for 6mm thick
bronze to 90% for 6mm thick clear
Tempered glass
 Tempered glass is an extremely strong glass which is
heat treated to a uniform temperature of
approximately 650ºC and rapidly cooled to induce
compressive stresses of 770 kg/m2 to 1462 kg/m2 on
the surfaces and edge compression of the order of
680 kg/m2.
 Properties

• Available thickness : 3
mm - 19 mm
• Normally available sizes
up to : 2440 mm x
3660mm(Bigger sizes
can also be made)

0.5% for 6 mm thick gray
to 0.9% 6mm thick clear
•Visible light
transmittance : 20% for
6mm thick bronze to
90%6mm thick clear
Laminated Glass
 Laminated glass is composed of two or more layers of
glass with one or more layers of a transparent/
pigmented and specially treated plastic Polyvinyl
Butyral [PVB] sandwiched between the glass layers.
The glass panes (layers) can be either normal glass or
tempered glass.When the glass is broken, fragments
tend to adhere to the plastic [PVB] interlayer thereby
reducing the risk of injury and helping to resist further
damage by weather.

• Available thickness : 4.38 mm – 20.76 mm (other thickness
can also be made to order)
• Normally available sizes up to : 2000 x 3210mm (Bigger sizes
can also be made)
• • Shading co-efficient : 0.5% for 6 mm thick gray to 0.9% for
6mm thick clear
•Visible light transmittance : 25% for 6mm thick bronze to 90%
for 6mm thick clear
INSULATING GLASS

more panes of glass separated by air spaces.
 Moisture proof
 The periphery of the air spaces is hermetically
sealed.
 There are two types of such sealed units:
- Organic seal type:Two or more panes of glass
separated by air spaces sealed at their edges
with an organic seal.
- Glass edge type: Two sheets of clear single
strength or double strength glass fused together
at their edges enclosing a nominal 3/16 inches air
space.This type of glass is not produced with
multiple air spaces.
 Properties
• Shading co-efficient : 0.52 for 6 mm thick gray to
0.95 for 6 mm thick clear monolithic
•Visible light transmittance : 37% for 6mm thick
gray to 87% for 6mm thick clear monolithic.
Reflective glass
 A metallic coating is applied to one side of the glass in order to significantly
increase the amount of reflection by the glass of both the visible and infra-
red (light and heat) range of the electromagnetic spectrum.This metallic
coating can be applied to clear or body tinted glass.The reflective glass
imparts a mirror like appearance to the exterior of buildings under most
daytime conditions. Due to the coating of metal oxides on the glass, they
are widely applied as an aesthetic product in buildings for its highly
reflective surface and its wide palette of colours. It reduces heat gain and
glare from the exterior and allows optimum visible light transmission to the
interior. It significantly reduces the air- conditioning load of the buildings.An
exceptional property of solar reflective glass is that the coating of metal
oxides on the glass can be achieved without affecting the transparency of
the glass.
 Properties :The properties of reflective glass are
• Increased aesthetic appeal.
• Gives enormous flexibility in designing the exterior due to availability of
number of colours / shades
• Facilitates energy savings through reduction in interior solar heat gain and
cost reduction in the cost of heating and cooling systems.
• Improves occupants comfort as
interior temperature variations are
less and easier to control.
•Varying degrees of light
transmittance and varying
reflectance.
• Reduces the air- conditioning load of
the buildings
• Density : 2.4 – 2.5 g/cm3 •
Available thickness : 3 mm - 12
mm
• Normally available sizes up to : 2250
x3210 mm (Bigger size can also
be made)
• Shading co-efficient : 0.25 - 0.552
for 6mm thick
•Visible light transmittance : 5 – 40%
for 6 mm thick

Determination of safe
thickness of glass
 Once the type of glass to be used is selected, section deals with the determination of
appropriate thickness of glass.The thickness of the glass to be used in window panels
is governed by the following factors:
i. Area to be covered by the window panel.
ii. Support conditions (supported on two sides or four sides).
iii. Aspect ratio of window panel (length / breadth).
iv. Effective wind pressure at the window height
v. Strength/load bearing capacity of glass to be used.
 The salient features of the procedure are as follows:
•The maximum area of glass panel is restricted to 15 m2.
•The maximum span of window is restricted to 4 m.
• Aspect ratio of the glass panel should be greater than 1.5. If it is less than 1.5, next higher
available thickness should be selected.
•The factor of safety used is 2.5 considering the variability in strength of glass.
• Applicable to normal, reflective, laminated, tempered and insulating glass.
• Applicable to rectangular panels properly fixed.
Safety issues occurring in contemporary glass structure are the result of the lack
of knowledge of glass properties and other materials forming a composition
with it, and designing, production or construction flaws. It is important to
consider them so that they could be avoided.The basic measures taken to
protect the glass structures are:
• Application of chemically tempered glass with the polycarbonate core,
allowing additional safety and durability
•Application of multi-layered glass, with at least one layer of semi-tempered
glass, which will prevent the unwanted displacement of glass panel in case of
breakage
•In case of point supported glass façades, prevention of failure chain reaction by
independent support of glass panels in vertical rows, with regular distribution of
stress in case of breakage of some of the panels, transferring the load
horizontally to adjacent panels
• In case of point supported glass facades, if possible, provide a central
suspension point for the topmost panel in a row, providing an absolutely vertical
position
• In case of multi-layered glass, it is good practice to use one additional layer on
the glass than what is required by the static design.

  • 2. GLASS  Glass is an inorganic product of fusion that has cooled to a rigid solid without undergoing crystallization. It may be transparent, translucent or shiny depending upon the quantities of its basic constituents such as sand, soda & lime. By varying their quantities & using certain special additives, the properties and characteristics of glass are modulated to obtain a large variety.  It is an ancient building material, which facilitated penetration of light into buildings. Once it was used exclusively for window panes, whereas nowadays there are examples of structures made of glass only. Apart from the traditional non-bearing application in engineering, it is progressively used for construction of bearing elements.The progressively stricter regulations dealing with energy efficiency of the buildings gives rise to application of special characteristics glass of high performance, but also to the more intensive research in this field.The adequate choice of the glass type can to a great extent improve the energy efficiency of the building.  Three most attractive traits of glass: the ability to transmit light, block heat and safety issues
  • 3. MAIN PROPERTIES  DENSITY at room temperature-2500 KG/CU.M  MODULUS OF ELASTICITY-69 Gpa  POISSON’S RATIO- 0.23  MELTINGTEMPERATURE- 1500 DEGREE CELSIUS  THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY-1.7W/m-K  SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY- 840 J/KG-K  COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH-1000N/SQ.MM
  • 4. Composition  Glass is made from the following raw materials: Sand; soda- ash; limestone; dolomite; feldspar; sodium sulphate.These substances are themselves compounds of various elements and a chemical analysis shows that flat glass is made up from the following materials, used in various proportions:  Silica (S2O2) 71.0 to 78.0%  Alumina (Al2O3) 0.5 to 1.5%  Iron oxide (Fe203) 0.05 to 0.15%  Calcium oxide (CaO) 5.0 to 10.0%  Magnesium oxide (MgO) 2.0 to 5.0%  Sodium oxide (Na2O) 13.0 to 16.0%  Potassium oxide (K2O) 0.0 to 1.0%  Sulphur trioxide (SO3) 0.0 to 0.5%

  • 13. Laminated Glass  Laminated glass is composed of two or more layers of glass with one or more layers of a transparent/ pigmented and specially treated plastic Polyvinyl Butyral [PVB] sandwiched between the glass layers. The glass panes (layers) can be either normal glass or tempered glass.When the glass is broken, fragments tend to adhere to the plastic [PVB] interlayer thereby reducing the risk of injury and helping to resist further damage by weather.  Properties • Density (approximate) : 2.42 – 2.52 g/cm3 •Tensile strength : 32 N/sq. M • Compressive strength : 1000 N /mm2 • Modulus of elasticity : 70 GPa • Coefficient of linear expansion : 9 x 10–6 m / mK

  • 15. INSULATING GLASS  Factory assembled unit consisting of two or more panes of glass separated by air spaces.  Moisture proof  The periphery of the air spaces is hermetically sealed.  There are two types of such sealed units: - Organic seal type:Two or more panes of glass separated by air spaces sealed at their edges with an organic seal. - Glass edge type: Two sheets of clear single strength or double strength glass fused together at their edges enclosing a nominal 3/16 inches air space.This type of glass is not produced with multiple air spaces.  Properties • Shading co-efficient : 0.52 for 6 mm thick gray to 0.95 for 6 mm thick clear monolithic •Visible light transmittance : 37% for 6mm thick gray to 87% for 6mm thick clear monolithic.
  • 16. Reflective glass  A metallic coating is applied to one side of the glass in order to significantly increase the amount of reflection by the glass of both the visible and infra- red (light and heat) range of the electromagnetic spectrum.This metallic coating can be applied to clear or body tinted glass.The reflective glass imparts a mirror like appearance to the exterior of buildings under most daytime conditions. Due to the coating of metal oxides on the glass, they are widely applied as an aesthetic product in buildings for its highly reflective surface and its wide palette of colours. It reduces heat gain and glare from the exterior and allows optimum visible light transmission to the interior. It significantly reduces the air- conditioning load of the buildings.An exceptional property of solar reflective glass is that the coating of metal oxides on the glass can be achieved without affecting the transparency of the glass.  Properties :The properties of reflective glass are • Increased aesthetic appeal. • Gives enormous flexibility in designing the exterior due to availability of number of colours / shades • Facilitates energy savings through reduction in interior solar heat gain and cost reduction in the cost of heating and cooling systems.
  • 17. • Improves occupants comfort as interior temperature variations are less and easier to control. •Varying degrees of light transmittance and varying reflectance. • Reduces the air- conditioning load of the buildings • Density : 2.4 – 2.5 g/cm3 • Available thickness : 3 mm - 12 mm • Normally available sizes up to : 2250 x3210 mm (Bigger size can also be made) • Shading co-efficient : 0.25 - 0.552 for 6mm thick •Visible light transmittance : 5 – 40% for 6 mm thick

  • 23. SPECIAL GLASS COATINGS  Self-cleaning or easy to clean glass  Photochromatic coatings  Elctrochromic coatings  Thermochromic coatings
  • 24. Determination of safe thickness of glass  Once the type of glass to be used is selected, section deals with the determination of appropriate thickness of glass.The thickness of the glass to be used in window panels is governed by the following factors: i. Area to be covered by the window panel. ii. Support conditions (supported on two sides or four sides). iii. Aspect ratio of window panel (length / breadth). iv. Effective wind pressure at the window height v. Strength/load bearing capacity of glass to be used.  The salient features of the procedure are as follows: •The maximum area of glass panel is restricted to 15 m2. •The maximum span of window is restricted to 4 m. • Aspect ratio of the glass panel should be greater than 1.5. If it is less than 1.5, next higher available thickness should be selected. •The factor of safety used is 2.5 considering the variability in strength of glass. • Applicable to normal, reflective, laminated, tempered and insulating glass. • Applicable to rectangular panels properly fixed.
  • 25.
  • 26. Safety issues occurring in contemporary glass structure are the result of the lack of knowledge of glass properties and other materials forming a composition with it, and designing, production or construction flaws. It is important to consider them so that they could be avoided.The basic measures taken to protect the glass structures are: • Application of chemically tempered glass with the polycarbonate core, allowing additional safety and durability •Application of multi-layered glass, with at least one layer of semi-tempered glass, which will prevent the unwanted displacement of glass panel in case of breakage •In case of point supported glass façades, prevention of failure chain reaction by independent support of glass panels in vertical rows, with regular distribution of stress in case of breakage of some of the panels, transferring the load horizontally to adjacent panels • In case of point supported glass facades, if possible, provide a central suspension point for the topmost panel in a row, providing an absolutely vertical position • In case of multi-layered glass, it is good practice to use one additional layer on the glass than what is required by the static design.
