5 Developed a Basic package of Window Glass Design 5 to perform Window Glass Load Resistance and Deflections in accordance with ASTM E 1300 1994, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004 or 2009 standard. Standards Design Group, Inc also worked with leading Glass professionals to go beyond the standard and offer with its Standard and Deluxe packages Non-Rectangular lite shapes, Theoretical Load Share Factors as developed by Dr. Stephen M. Morse and new interlayers developed by Saflex HP and SentryGlass Plus.
6 The Glass Association of North America endorses the Window Glass Design 5 program as being the best tool available to aid in designing Window Glass to resist wind and long-term loadings. Features Window Glass Design 5 operates in a WindowsTM environment with easy to follow Design input windows. The user inputs the shape, dimensions, angle, number of supported sides and Glass Design and Window Glass Design does the rest. The program even allows the user to toggle between US and SI units.
7 Window Glass Design 5 Calculates the load resistance for single, double or triple glazed insulating Glass units constructed with monolithic or laminated Glass lites. The user can define each lite as annealed, heat strengthened or fully tempered. The program also allows symmetric and asymmetric laminated Glass (standard specific). Interlayers for the laminate Glass include PVB, Saflex HP and SentryGlass Plus. A major change made in the 2002 2004 ASTM E 1300 standard was the short duration load.
8 Earlier editions defined the short duration load as a 60 second load where the new standard requires a 3 second short duration load. Wind Load Design produces a 3 second gust load that now can be directly input in the new standard but if an earlier standard is requested for Design a Load Converter is provided to change the load from 3 second to 60 second and anything in between. The program returns the load resistance and approximate deflection for the Design .
9 It also will inform the user if the Design passes or fails the required loading with easy to identify green (pass) or red (fail) script. Clicking on a details button will display the Non-Factored load and Glass Type Factor used to calculate the Load Resistance. Another click and the user is provided the actual Non-Factored Load chart. The print out of the Project Report is consistent with ASTM E 1300 and suitable for presentation to a building official. The Details Report displays the Glass shape and angle as well as the Non-Factored Load, Glass Type multiplier and the Non-Factored Load Chart.
10 6 Getting Started Opening Window Glass Design 5 Window Glass Design opens in two ways. The user can follow the path Start > All Programs > Standards Design Group, Inc > Window Glass Design 5 or the user can navigate to a file with the extension .gla . Starting a New Design The program starts with a new Design Window already open and ready to begin. If a user wishes to open a new project after working with an already open Design there are two options: first is to click on File > New Project and the second is clicking on the New Project button on the toolbar.
