Abstract:

Different thickness, length and shape ratios of point fixed glass in glass building were considered. Different numbers, position and radius of holes in glass were also considered. Point fixed glass was studied by the finite element method and ANSYS software. Results show the thickness has remarkable influences on the strength and stiffness. The maximal tensile stress and deflection increase quickly with larger size of square plates or ratio of width to length of rectangle plates. Plates with six holes have smaller maximal tensile stress and deflection than plates with four holes under the same other conditions. The maximal tensile stress and deflection decrease quickly with larger hole centre distance, and deceleration becomes slow. The largest tensile stress decrease quickly with larger hole radius, but the deflection and the stress on edges of plates decrease slowly.
