Good day to all of you!
I am designing glass (laminated) balustrade using some provisions in
ASTM E1300-12a i.e. calculation of effective thickness of laminated
glass,glass edge allowable stress and glass surface stress. However,
I came across on the first page of the standards specifically on...
The amount of pre-tensioning load to the single cable will depend on the permissible deflection of the cable. While there are no standards mentioning this allowable deflection, it is worthwhile to know if it is better to prove by testing or by theory. L/50 would be ideal but up to what span?
