Fragmentation of Heat-Strengthened Glass: Implications for Glass Not Conforming to ASTM C1048

Heat-strengthened glass with residual surface compressive stresses above those allowed by ASTM C1048 was installed in a curtain wall in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. To address building ownership’s concerns regarding postbreakage glass fallout, fragmentation tests were performed usi...

Fragmentation of Heat-Strengthened Glass: Implications for Glass Not Conforming to ASTM C1048
description Heat-strengthened glass with residual surface compressive stresses above those allowed by ASTM C1048 was installed in a curtain wall in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States.
