ASSESSMENT OF STRUCTURAL STRENGTH CALCULATION PRACTICES FOR SELECTED CASEMENT AND SLIDING WINDOWS BY PRACTICAL METHOD

Glass is used for huge number of applications. But normally glass is the main part of the windows. Nowadays the walls of the building consists lot of glasses on the behalf of the packed walls. There are two types of windows used in general and the y are casement and sliding type windows. Normally glasses are available in various forms or types but the cast glass is only suitable for window application purpose. In this paper, analysis & calculation for the deflection of window is done, and tested for its correct installation. Each manufacturer of the window has responsibility to give defect free window to the customer. So this method will help the manufacturer in calculating the deflection of window. Glass manufacturer has already list of calculations for deflection of glasses but there is one permissible limit for their deflection, when glass reaches that limit then the scratches are forms and after sometimes glass will be breaks into square forms.
