DESIGNALUMINIUMSection No:Page No:Date:Replaces:21501.05.052003 EDITIONDEFLECTION OF TRANSOM DUE TO DEAD LOAD OF GLASSThe graphs below indicate sizes of 6mm and 10mm glass supported at quarter points producean arbitrary mid span deflection of 3mm in transom. In certain situations such asover doorways little or no deflection can be tolerated. Mid span deflection can be reducedby supporting the glass closer to the ends, rather than at the quarter points. Rememberthat the ‘I’ section obtained from the graphs is about the horizontal axis.GRAPH: 4.Deflection (with 6mm Glass)400050 100 150 200 300 400 5001 value x 10 3 mm 4 of transomHeight of glass (mm)3000200010006mm glassSH09001200 1500 1800 2100 2400 2700 3000Span of transom (mm)GRAPH: 5.Deflection (with 10mm Glass)400050 100 150 200 300 400 5001 value x 10 3 mm 4 of transomHeight of glass (mm)30002000100010mm glassSH09001200 1500 1800 2100 2400 2700 3000Span of transom (mm)
