Max. Displacement Contour

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

= 1280/30 = 42.67mm or 30mm whichever is less

= 30mm > 22.38mm. Hence Safe

Max. Stress Contour-Layer 1

From the above, the maximum stress is 43.73 Mpa < 73 Mpa. Hence Safe
Max. Stress Contour-Layer 3

From the above, the maximum stress is 71.31 Mpa < 73 Mpa. Hence Safe
