SB-13 — Glass in Guards

SB-13 Glass in Guards

Organizations

Introduction The prescriptive requirements for the design and construction of glass in guards in this Supplementary Standard are intended to reduce the probability of: (a) breakage of glass panels; and (b) injury to persons in the vicinity of a building as a result of falling broken glass. Ontario’s Building Code is written in an objective-based format to facilitate and encourage the use of alternative solutions to the prescriptive solutions contained in Division B of the Building Code and the standards referenced by the Code. Therefore, it is expected that the prescriptive-based solutions in this Supplementary Standard will form the benchmark for evaluating alternative solutions, including matrix-based risk assessment solutions. This approach will continue to allow for some flexibility and design choice for architects, engineers, developers, and the construction industry. This Supplementary Standard is referenced by Sentence 3.1.21.1.(1) of Division B of the Building Code. Page 2 • SB-13

Appendix A Explanatory Material for SB-13 Appendix A to this Supplementary Standard is included for explanatory purposes only and does not form part of the requirements. The bold-faced reference numbers that introduce each item apply to the requirements in this Supplementary Standard. A-Table 1.3.1.2. DIN - Deutsches Institut für Normung e. V. (German Institute for Standardization). Name Address Contact DIN Deutsches Institut für Normung e. V. Am DIN-Platz Phone: +49 30 2601-0 Burggrafenstraße 6 DIN Fax: +49 30 2601-1231 10787 Berlin web site: http://www.din.de Germany Column 1 2 3 A-2.1.1.3.(1) Heat Soaked Tempered Glass. Heat soaked tempered glass is glass within which a permanent surface compressive stress has been induced in order to give it greatly increased resistance to mechanical and thermal stress and prescribed fragmentation characteristics and which has a known level of residual risk of spontaneous breakage due to the presence of critical nickel sulphide (NiS) inclusions. DIN EN 14179-1 is a European standard that specifies the heat soak process system together with tolerances, flatness, edgework, fragmentation and physical and mechanical characteristics of monolithic flat heat soaked thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass for use in buildings. A-3.1.1.1.(1) Structural Design. Part 4 of Division B of the Building Code applies to buildings described in Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A of the Building Code. When considering the load combinations on exterior balcony guards, Part 4 requires that the live load should be considered in combination with the wind load. Refer to Table 4.1.3.2.A. of Division B of the Building Code for the relevant load combinations. Case 2, with the full live load coupled with a reduced wind load (via the 0.4 factor) is a plausible scenario. It is also plausible that some fraction of the live load may be present during the design wind event as per the load combination in case 4. Therefore, the live load needs to be considered in combination with the wind load via the load combinations in cases 2 and 4. The wind load, when combined with the live load, should be the outward wind load (i.e.: acting as a suction load on the guard) that is applied in combination with the outward guard load, and, as a separate case, the inward wind load (i.e.: acting as a pressure load on the guard) that is applied in combination with the inward guard load.
