Working on TS model!!!
:(
The following chart shows the relationship of the strength of glass to the transparency (and reflectional qualities) of glass.
It appears that the higher the load that glass can take, the more non linear the form.
Constructing the routes where my videos will travel through in the 3 walk through's.
So, have not blogged in a while but lots of work to update you on about..
looking at ways in which GLASS can act as a structural load bearing material.
The next step after the interim jury.
1. analyse transfer deck possibilities. How can the load be transferred into a new flooring structure?
2. The glass structure:
This will be assessed according to three elements:
a) Shape
b) Composite
c) Transparency.
3) Calculate the structural loads - formula for the load of the floor above
4) Calculate the glass strength according to the 3 elements above
5) Physical Test
6) conclusion.
