| Abstract: |
In December 2010 part 1 (general bases) and 2 (linearly supported glazing) of the new code for design of glass structures DIN 18008 has been published as final version. The parts 3 (point fixed elements), 4 (balustrades) and 5 (accessible glazing) have been published as draft version in October 2011. These rules are – in contrast to actual used regulations – following the modern concept of partial safety factors. Regarding the field of application the published parts cover most of the daily work; two last parts (6 accessible for maintenance work and 7 for structural elements) are under preparation at the moment. So worldwide for the first time regulations covering most aspects for structural design of glass structures will be available. |
