Max. Displacement Contour

Allowable deflection of Glass Balustrade = L/30 or 30mm Max as per Table 7.1 of AS1288:2006

= 1500/30 = 50mm or 30mm whichever is less

= 30mm > 0.01mm. Hence Safe

Max. Stress Contour-Layer 3

From the above, the maximum stress is 0.37 MPa < 73 MPa. Hence Safe
Max. Stress Contour-Layer 1

From the above, the maximum stress is 0.57MPa < 73 MPa. Hence Safe
