FAQS 4

Can solar-induced thermal stress breakage occur in spandrel glass?

These gradients create a large thermal stress which, under certain circumstances, may lead to breakage. Recently, attention has been drawn to several incidents in which spandrel glass has experienced solar-induced thermal stress breakage.

What is the risk of glass breakage due to thermal stress?

2.1. Risk of glass breakage due to thermal shock Thermal stress is caused by temperature differences on the glass pane. If the temperature difference is sufficiently great, the thermal stress can cause breakage to develop from the edge of the glass.

When does maximum thermal stress occur in glass?

While almost all current thermal analyses are conducted on the basis of heat transfer equilibrium, maximum thermal stress in glass almost always occurs during the transient phase of heating.

How to assess thermal stress in glass?

Assessing thermal stress in glass is up to now not usual. Only experienced manufacturers or architects who are specifying a thermal stress analysis are taking care about that topic. Thermal glass stress analysis should be always done in relation to the structural calculations of glass.
