Max. Displacement Contour

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

= 1350/30 = 45mm or 30mm whichever is less

= 30mm > 6.57mm. Hence Safe

Max. Stress Contour-Layer 3

From the above, the maximum stress is 4.80 MPa < 36.5 MPa. Hence Safe
Max. Stress Contour-Layer 1

From the above, the maximum stress is 10.02 MPa < 36.5 MPa. Hence Safe
