Below is some information i have gathered by reading a variety of Australian Standards. All the information further collaborates measurements and material selection for my MAJOR PROJECT.
AS 1288-2006
• 2.1.1
o Tinted heat absorbent glass classified in accordance with AS/NZS 4667
• 2.1.4
o Safety glazing material complies with the requirements of AS/NZS 2208, they are non-standard thickness. When applied to glazing, safety organic coatings shall extend to the edge of the glass or within 3 mm of the sightline and shall be permanently bonded to the glass.
• 2.2.2 Structral Sealant
o the structural sealant shall be silicone complying with ASTM C1184. The characteristic strength of the solicone shall be greater than0.21 MPa
REFER TO AS 2047 for window walls • 3.3.3 Servicability limit states
o the maximum deflection for the serviceability states by controlling or limiting deflection.
• 2047
• 3.7.2. Strength limit state
o the design action effect (except for silicone sealants immersed in water) shall be limited to a max of;
♣ 0.011 MPa for dead and live long-term loads; or
♣ b. 0.210 MPa for ultimate limit wind loads only
• 3.7.3 serviceability limit state
o b. for but glazing with glass fins, combined joint and frame movements meet the deflection limit requirements of clause 3.5.2.
