Abstract

The course consists of 3-half day events.

A New Code of Practice for Structural Use of Glass has formally issued by Buildings Department on 9 Feb. 2018 together with a Circulation Letter highlighting the special features and date of effective implementation with a grace period of 12-month for the captioned.

The Code provides guidance on design, construction, testing and quality assurance of structural glass works. It adopts the limit state design approach, which should provide a more rigorous and economical design than conventional method.

The seminar takes a performance-based approach to explore in-depth the processes of design and construction of building envelopes, with an emphasis on the background and technologies behind structural glass work. Aesthetic and technical issues encompassed by glass design in current local practice will be addressed.

Moreover, there is an increasing trend in the use of laminated glass in residential buildings, commercial buildings and retails. This trend is being driven by the increased desire for more open designs with less visible framing and structural supports, resulting in glazing designs that provide greater transparency and visibility. However, there is always the possibility of glass breakage in glass skylights, canopies, sloped glazing and glass balustrade. Without laminated glass, that could mean a big safety problem caused by shattering glass. Principal feature of laminated glass is the safety performance under impact and breakage. Although the glass may break, the glass fragments remain firmly bonded to the interlayer, minimizing the risk of injuries.

Quality assurance and quality control are essential to building a successful structural glass and/or façade system and delivers glass assemblies/product that meet designers’ expectations. It is crucial to have testing and measurement of the glass assemblies as well as the whole structural glass work or façade systems. Therefore, updated requirements on testing and quality assurance will be addressed in the second seminar.
