CEN/TC 250/SC 11/WG 1 - Design of Glass Strcutures

1.1   Scope of prEN 19100-1
(1) This document gives basic design rules for glass structures, assemblies and components. This document is concerned with the requirements for resistance, serviceability, fracture characteristics and glass component failure consequences in relation to human safety, robustness and redundancy of glass structures.
(2) This document covers the basis of design, structural design, materials, durability, and construction rules.
1.2   Assumptions
(1) The assumptions given in EN 1990 apply.
(2) This document is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1990, EN 1991 (all parts), the parts of EN 1992 to EN 1999 where glass structures or glass components are referred to within those documents and EN 12488.

1.1      Scope of prEN 19100 3
(1) This document gives design rules for glass components and assemblies primarily subjected to in-plane loading. It also covers effects of loads acting both in-plane and parallel to the plane produced by the neutral axes of the component, including construction rules for joints connecting in-plane loaded glass components.
1.2      Assumptions
(1) The assumptions of EN 1990, prEN 19100-1 and prEN 19100-2 apply.
(2) This document is intended to be used in conjunction with, EN 1990, EN 1991 (all parts), EN 1993-1-1, EN 1995 1 1, EN 1998 (all parts), EN 1999 1 1, prEN 19100-1, prEN 19100-2 and EN 12488.

1.1   Scope of prEN 19100-2
(1) prEN 19100-2 gives basic structural design rules for glass components and assemblies primarily subjected to out-of-plane loading.
NOTE   Out-of-plane loads are loads acting normal to (e. g. wind) or having a component (e. g. dead load, snow) acting normal to the glass plane.
1.2   Assumptions
(1) The assumptions given in EN 1990 apply.
