GLASGLOBAL® ASTM
The professional structural analysis software GLASGLOBAL® ASTM according to American standard includes all necessary calculations and load assumptions. With GLASGLOBAL® ASTM, glasses can be statically dimensioned according to E1300-16. All loads to be taken into account, such as snow, wind, dead weight, traffic loads or climatically induced variations in air pressure and temperature, are checked during the calculation.
Stress and deflection are compared with the permissible values and displayed on a clear printout of the results.
Features:
- Glazing with any installation angle
- Symmetrical and asymmetrical VSG
- Membrane stress effect for non-linear load-bearing behavior
- Consideration of shear bond for laminated safety glass
- Load factorization based on load duration and temperature
- Expression with imperial units
- Maximum chord shortening
- Sound database to determine the Rw value for specific superstructures
- Interface to ERP systems
- Validation by the University of Munich
