Abstract

There is a need within engineering practice for an analytical method to predict the probability of failure of window glass plates subjected to lateral loads. The failure prediction technique should include provision for all significant factors which influence glass strength and all significant factors which influence plate behavior The ultimate use of the glass plate failure prediction model will be to provide a realistic assessment of glass plate strength to be used in the design of window glass.
