4 Basis of design
4.1 Requirements

(1) For an out-of-plane loaded glass component the Limit State Scenario (LSS) should be chosen according to

FprCEN/TS 19100-1:2021, 4.2.4.

NOTE For a glass component the LSS can be set by the National Annex, see FprCEN/TS 19100-1:2021, 4.2.4.

(2) Special attention shall be paid to robustness of the structure, see FprCEN/TS 19100-1 and EN 1990.

(3) When ensuring sufficient robustness, depending on the function, importance and installation position (e.g.

height over ground or floor resp., vertical or non-vertical), care shall be taken on the following aspects:

— risk of injuring people in case of glass failure;
— risk of damage of other components in case of glass failure;

— careful choice of glass type and interlayer, which in combination or independently provide the necessary

robustness of the glass component during the lifetime and after breakage;

— providing adequate cross-sectional redundancy by sufficient number of plies of the glass component;

— protection measures;
— realistic design, calculation and detailing.

(4) In case of laminated glass the shear interaction provisions as given in FprCEN/TS 19100-1:2021, 7.2.2

should be used. Guidance can be taken from Annex A of this document or from EN 16612.

(5) In case of fracture of a ply or of a component the consequences for the safety and integrity of adjoining

structure, components and people shall be analysed and verified.

NOTE Countries are encouraged to establish tables with typical glass component assemblies depending on

application and supports.
4.2 Fracture Limit State (FLS) verification
4.2.1 General

(1) In the FLS sufficient safety during impact shall be verified (failsafe verification), see

FprCEN/TS 19100-1:2021, 4.2.3 (2).

(2) In the FLS, an appropriate load combination should be used for the static loading that arises during the

event of impact.

NOTE The load combination in the FLS is the accidental load combination according to EN 1990 unless the National

Annex gives a different load combination.

(3) In the FLS the supported glass component may be verified by experimental testing (4.2.2) or alternatively,

by a theoretical assessment (4.2.3) provided equivalence is given.

NOTE 1 Verification can include reference to previously executed tests or calculations.

NOTE 2 The National Annex can specify type of impactor, energy, ambient temperature and acceptance criteria.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
kSIST-TS FprCEN/TS 19100-2:2021
FprCEN/TS 19100-2:2021 (E)
4.2.2 Verification of the Fracture Limit State by testing

(1) If the FLS is verified by experimental testing, this may be performed either on the original (as built)

structure in situ or on an appropriate test specimen or on an appropriate equivalent laboratory specimen.

Further provisions may be as specified by the relevant authority or, where not specified, agreed for a specific

project by the relevant parties.
NOTE Provisions on experimental testing can be given in the National Annex.

(4) If testing is not performed by using the original component on the original structure in situ, it shall be

ensured that the used equivalent test specimen or equivalent laboratory specimen including all relevant

details correspond to the original structure including supports, load introduction, etc.

(5) The tests shall be planned and evaluated such that clear conclusions with regard to safety and reliability

can be drawn. Attention should be paid to the required number of tests.

NOTE 1 The lower the number of tests the higher the margin between mean value of the test results and the design

resistance.

NOTE 2 So far current EN 1990 does not give complete guidance on glass specific testing.

(6) After experimental testing on original built structure in situ, it should be checked whether the structure

still complies with its original resistance.

(7) The test results shall be evaluated by a transparent and reproducible procedure assessing safety and

reliability according to the requirements of EN 1990.
4.2.3 Verification of the Fracture Limit State by theoretical assessment

(1) If the FLS is verified by a theoretical assessment all static and dynamic effects originating from impact

and/or damage/fracture of parts of the glass component or of the whole shall reasonably be taken into

account for the short time of impact.

NOTE 1 Generally, a theoretical assessment in the FLS is performed by a transient numerical simulation.

NOTE 2 A method for the numerical verification of impact effects can be given in the National Annex.

NOTE 3 Further provisions for the theoretical assessment in the FLS can be given in the National Annex.

(2) The applicability of the theoretical model shall be validated.

NOTE Normally, the applicability of a theoretical model is validated by experimental benchmark tests.

4.3 Post Fracture Limit State (PFLS) verification
4.3.1 General

(1) In the PFLS sufficient safety after fracture for a limited period of time shall be verified (verification of

residual resistance of the glass component or verification of an alternative load path). The fracture may be of

one or several glass plies or of the component.

NOTE The resistance of the glass component in the Post Fracture Limit State (PFLS) is influenced by the type of

glass (e.g. breakage pattern, type of interlayer, number of plies), the size of the glass component and its support.

(2) In the PFLS an appropriate load combination should be used.

NOTE The load combination in the PFLS is the accidental load combination according to EN 1990 and

FprCEN/TS 19100-1 unless the National Annex gives different specification.

(3) Aspects that should be considered for the determination of the time period can originate from the

following: time to secure the environment, temporary support, time to replace, time to remove the load etc.

The time limited characteristic variable actions may be reduced according to EN 1991-1-6.

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
kSIST-TS FprCEN/TS 19100-2:2021
FprCEN/TS 19100-2:2021 (E)
NOTE Post fracture time periods in the PFLS can be set by the National Annex.

(4) In the PFLS the glass component can be verified by experimental testing (4.3.2) or alternatively by a

theoretical assessment (4.3.3), provided equivalence is given.

NOTE 1 Due to the viscoelastic properties of the interlayers and the complex mechanical behaviour of the broken

glass laminate, the verification can sometimes only be done by testing of the original glass component including its

supports.

NOTE 2 Verification can include reference to previously executed tests or calculations.

4.3.2 Verification of the Post Fracture Limit State by testing

(1) If the PFLS is verified by experimental testing, this may be performed either on the original (as built)

structure in situ or on appropriate test specimen or on an appropriate equivalent laboratory specimen.

(2) Additional requirements for 4.3.2 (1) may be as specified by the relevant authority or, where not specified

agreed for a specific project by the relevant parties.

(3) If the PFLS is verified by experimental testing on the original (as built) structure in situ, after experimental

testing the intact initial state should be restored.

(4) If testing is not performed by using the original component on the original structure in situ, it shall be

ensured, that the used equivalent test specimen or equivalent laboratory specimen including all relevant

details correspond to the original structure including supports, load introduction, etc.

(5) Experimental tests should be planned and evaluated such that clear conclusions with regard to safety and

reliability can be drawn. Special attention should be paid to the required number of tests.

NOTE The lower the number of tests the higher the margin between mean value of the test results and the design

resistance.

(6) To determine the residual load bearing capacity time the glass component should be loaded by an

appropriate load pattern with an appropriate magnitude.

NOTE 1 If the load pattern is a distributed load p, the value of p is 0,5 kPa unless the National Annex gives different

values.

NOTE 2 The National Annex can specify requirements on breakage of further glass plies.

(7) The remaining time t to occurrence of total failure of the glass component shall meet the requirements,

see 4.3.1.
NOTE 1 The value of t can be set in the National Annex.

NOTE 2 Apart from the breakage of the glass cross-section, total failure can also occur due to different failure

mechanisms, e.g. slipping from supports, tearing of the interlayer, excessive deformation.

(8) After experimental testing on original built structure in situ, it should be checked whether the structure

still complies with its original resistance.
4.3.3 Verification of the Post Fracture Limit State by theoretical assessment

(1) Alternatively to 4.3.2, a theoretical assessment of the PFLS may be performed. Here all relevant actions,

time and ambient effects after the fracture event for the specified residual time period shall be taken into

account.

(2) Generally, in case of accessibility, the glass ply directly in contact with actions should be assumed as

fractured (e.g., the upper ply of a glass roof or a glass floor).
---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
kSIST-TS FprCEN/TS 19100-2:2021
FprCEN/TS 19100-2:2021 (E)

NOTE 1 The number of glass plies to be assumed fractured depends on their probability of fracture during the lifetime

of the glass component.

NOTE 2 The mechanical behaviour of glass in the PFLS is governed by the size and shape of the shards (glass type),

type and thickness of the interlayer, the bond between interlayer and glass, the delamination depth of the interlayer in

contact of the single shards.

NOTE 3 Further provisions for the theoretical assessment in the PFLS can be given in the National Annex.

5 Materials

(1) For the material properties, FprCEN/TS 19100-1:2021, Clause 5 shall be applied.

6 Durability

(1) The rules for durability in EN 1990 and FprCEN/TS 19100-1, Clause 6 shall be applied.

7 Structural analysis

(1) The rules for structural analysis in FprCEN/TS 19100-1:2021, Clause 7 shall be applied.

(2) For calculation of laminated glass, the rules given in FprCEN/TS 19100-1:2021, 7.2.2 shall be followed.

NOTE For Level 2 calculation according to 7.2.2 of FprCEN/TS 19100-1:2021, the Annex A of this document gives

information on an analytical determination of the effective thicknesses for deformation and stresses of laminated glass.

Other approaches, if appropriate, are also possible.

(3) When applicable, EN 16612 gives further information on calculation methods to determine stresses and

deflections for glass components under equally distributed loadings for specific cases.

(4) When applicable, EN 16612 should be used for the calculation methods to determine stresses in glass

panes of IGUs due to cavity pressure. However, load combination for calculating IGUs should be chosen

according to FprCEN/TS 19100-1.
8 Ultimate Limit States
(1) For Ultimate Limit States, the rules in FprCEN/TS 19100-1 shall be applied.
9 Serviceability Limit States

(1) For Serviceability Limit States, the rules in FprCEN/TS 19100-1 shall be applied.

(2) For deformation class 1 (see FprCEN/TS 19100-1:2021, Table 9.1)- SLS, deflection limits are not subject of

this document.

(3) For deformation class 2 (see FprCEN/TS 19100-1:2021, Table 9.1) - SLS, this document gives typical

deflection limits depending on application and boundary conditions. Due to the technical circumstances like

sealant or edge design the limits may alter. Differences may also arise from different habits of the individual

countries.

NOTE Typical values for deflections limits for deformation class 2 of SLS to be used together with the characteristic

load combination are given in Table 9.1 (NDP) unless other values or other deflection limitation approaches are given by

the National Annex.
(4) If deflection is not critical, larger design values may be considered.
