|
Glass is subjected to different types of environmental and human loads, which can cause the malfunction or breakage of glazed surfaces. Find out with Glass On Web about impact conditions, how to determine and calculate them.
|
 Since each load has a specific impact on glass, and different calculation formulas, it is important to understand each of these phenomena in order to determine the appropriate glass. Selected links will give you an overview of different loads, how to calculate them and their potential effects on glazed surfaces.
