Abstract EN
During windstorms and hurricanes, architectural glazing is subjected to wind loading and windborne debris impact.
Wind-borne debris is categorized into two types.
One is small hard missile like roof gravel and the other is large soft missile representing the lumber from wood-framed buildings.
Laminated architectural glazing (LAG) is the commonly used glazing in buildings where impact resistance is needed.
The prefailure stress response of the LAG due to the combined loading due to wind and windborne debris impact is studied.
Following the ASTM standards (E1886 and E1996), a steel ball with an impact velocity of 39.62 m/s and a wooden cylinder with an impact velocity 12.19 m/s were chosen to be representative of small and large missiles, respectively.
A lateral pressure that corresponds to a wind speed of 58.11 m/s was used to represent wind loading on LAG.
The effect of geometric and material properties on the stress response of a rectangular LAG is studied parametrically.
Thinner outer ply would result in better prefailure stress pattern than a thicker outer ply, while thicker interlayer generally results in lower stresses in failure critical areas.
The contribution of wind loading to the principal stress is between 5–10% of the combined stress with small missile case having higher percentage.
