SUBJ: CRL UNIVERSAL WALL MOUNTED GLASS AWNING BRACKET


GAB24, GAB36, GAB48


The CRL universal wall mounted glass awning bracket utilizes stainless steel fittings to construct
wall mounted cantilevered glass awnings using 9/16 two ply laminated tempered glass. The
system is intended for interior and exterior weather exposed applications and is suitable for use
in all natural environments. The system may be used for residential, commercial and industrial
applications. The Glass Awning Brackets are designed for the following criteria:


The design loading conditions are:


Concentrated load = 50 lbs any direction, any location


Uniform load = 25 psf vertical, live, wind (ASD level loads) or snow load
Higher uniform loads may be allowed depending on glass strength and size as shown herein.
Wind loads determined per ASCE/SEI 7-10 (2012 IBC) shall be adjusted to ASD level.
The glass awning is not intended to support significant concentrated live loads or personnel. It
shall not be used to walk, stand or step on.
The Glass Awning Brackets will meet applicable requirements of the 2006, 2009 and 2012
International Building Codes, and 2010 and 2013 California Building Codes. Stainless steel
components are designed in accordance with SEI/ASCE 8-02 Specification for the Design of
Cold-Formed Stainless Steel Structural Members or AISC Design Guide 27 Structural Stainless
Steel as applicable. Anchorages to wood are designed in accordance with the National Design
Specification for Wood Construction.

Wall Mount
All bracket sizes use the same wall mount.
Bracket bar is welded to the wall plate which
is bolted to the wall.
Fabricated from 304 stainless steel
Check strength of bar weld to wall plate:
3/8 bevel weld with convex finish both sides.
Weld filler is E316
The weld will provide full penetration weld
and develop full bar strength.
Tension strength of weld:
Pn = LtFua = 6*0.5*75ksi = 225k
Shear strength of weld at wall plate:
Vn = (0.7-0.009L/t)tLFua
Vn = (0.7-0.009*6/.75)(2*0.375)*6*75ksi = 211.95k
or:
Vn = 0.75twLFxx = 0.75*(0.707*.375*2)*6*75ksi = 178.96k
Vs = 0.65*178.96k = 116.3k 0.55*211.95 = 116.57k
Allowable moment on the bracket based on weld strength:
Mn = 6/2*116.3k = 348.9k
Strength of bar at edge of weld:
Z = 0.5*62/4 = 4.5 in3
Mn = 0.9*4.5in3*30ksi = 121.5k (bar yield strength controls load).
Maximum factored moment on the bar [1.2D+(1.6S or 1.6W)] or [1.2D+0.75(W+S)]
or for uplift [0.9D+1.6W]
Mu = 121.5k
Design attachment to wall for the imposed moment:
Loads resisted by couple formed between bolts and plate edge, rotation about edge of plate.

Maximum bolt tension based on plate bending:

Plate bending will occur along a diagonal line from top
edge face of bar to edge of plate near other bolt.
bend length = 2.75+2.75*2 = 6.64
Moment arm = 1.375
Z = 6.64*0.52/4 = 0.415in3
Mnp = 0.9*45 ksi*0.415in3 = 16,807#
Maximum bolt tension based on wall plate bending :
M = T*1.375 = Mn = 16,807#
T =16,807#/1.375 = 12,223#
Check maximum bolt tension based on bracket plate
strength:
Bolt tension from M about edge of wall plate:
M = 0 = 4.625*T*2 + 1.375*(1.375/4.625)*T*2 +Mu
T = 121,000#/[2*4.625+1.375*1.375/4.625] = 12,527#
Check strength based on anchor alternatives:
1/2 Bolts:
At = 0.1419 in2
Fnt = 100,000 psi DIN 933-A2 or stronger
Pn = AtFnt = 0.75*0.1419in2*100,000psi = 10,642#
Shear load will be carried by the bolts closest to the compression face of the couple which will
be lightly loaded in tension so no reduction for shear load is required.
For bolting to steel frame the maximum moment based on the bolt tension:
Ms = 10,642#*[2*4.625+1.375*1.375/4.625] = 102,793#
For bolting to wood:
For through bolts the maximum bolt tension can be the same as for steel provided proper bearing
plates are used on the nut side (3 x 3 x 1/4 plates or equivalent round washer).
For 1/2 Lag screws into Douglas Fir or Southern Pine:
W = 378#/in,
Minimum embedment depth of 5 (Lag into 6x beam or solid block)
W = W*Cd = 375#*1.15 for snow loads or 375#*1.6 for wind loads (ASD level)
Ta5 = 5*378#*1.15 = 2,175#
Malag = 2,175#*#*[2*4.625+1.375*1.375/4.625] = 21,008#

C.R. Laurence Glass Awning Brackets

For bolting to concrete:

Hilti Kwik Bolt TZ in accordance with ESR-1917.
1/2 diameter with 4 minimum embedment
Minimum conditions used for the calculations:
fc 3,000 psi
edge distance = 2.75 minimum
2 bolt group (consider only anchors in full tension load)
For concrete breakout strength:
Ncbg = [ANc/ANco]ed,Nc,Ncp,NNb
ANcg= (2.75+1.5*4)*(1.5*4*2+3.25) = 133.4in2 For anchor group
ANco= 9*42 = 144in2
Cac,min = 1.5*4 = 6
Cac = 2.5*4 = 10
ed,N = 1.0
c,N = 1.4 (post installed)
cp,N= 6/10 = 0.6 (ca,min cac)
Nb = 17*1.0*3000*41.5 = 7,449#
Ncb = 133.4/144*1.0*1.4*0.6*7,449 = 5,798#
based on concrete breakout strength.
Pullout strength = 2*5,760# = 11,520#
Steel strength:
Nts = 92,000psi*0.101in2 = 9,292# (each)
Concrete breakout strength in shear:
Vcb = Avc/Avco(ed,Vc,Vh,VVb
Avc = 3(ca1)*4 = 3(2.75)*4 = 33.0
Avco= 4.5(ca1)2 = 4.5(2.75)2 = 34.0

GLASS STRENGTH
Glass is fully tempered 2 layer laminated safety glass conforming to the specifications of
ANSI Z97.1, ASTM C 1048-97b and CPSC 16 CFR 1201. The minimum Modulus of Rupture
for the glass Fr is 24,000 psi. Glass not used in guardrails may be designed for a safety factor of
2.5 in accordance with ASTM E1300-00.
Adjustment for laminated glass (both layers equal) = 1.7 single layer strength
Allowable glass bending stress: 24,000/2.5 = 9,600 psi. Tension stress
Allowable bearing stress = 24,000 psi/2.5 = 9,600 psi.
Determine effective thickness of the laminated glass for stresses and deflections based on ASTM
E1300-09a appendix X11.
h1 = h2 = 0.219
hv = 0.06
a = 48
hs = 0.5(h1+h2)+hv = 0.5(0.219*2)+0.06 = 0.279
hs;1 = hs;2 = (hsh1)/(h1+h2) = (0.279*0.219)/(2*0.219) = 0.1395
Is = h1h2s;2+ h2h2s;1= 2*(0.219*0.2792)= 0.034
= 1/[1+9.6(EIshv)/(Gh2sa2)]
For heat and size use interlayer shear modulus of 80 psi (T 120 F)
= 1/[1+9.6(10,400,000*0.034*0.06)/(80*0.2792*482)] = 0.0658
effective thickness for deflection:
hef;w = (h13+ h32+ 12Is)1/3 = (0.2193+ 0.2193+ 120.06580.034)1/3 = 0.363 0.498
effective thickness for glass stress:
h1;ef; = [hef;w3/(h+2 hs;1)]1/2 = [0.3633/(0.219+20.06580.1395)]1/2 = 0.449 0.498
Ie = hef;w3 = 0.3633 = 0.0478 in4/ft
Se = 2 h1;ef; 2 = 2*0.4492 = 0.403 in3/ft
Bending strength of glass for the given thickness:


S = 12* (t)2 = 2* (t)2 in3/ft
6
Allowable bending moment on glass is:


Mas = 9,600 psi*0.403 in3/ft = 3,868.8#/ft short duration loads


Malt = 0.43*9,600 psi*0.403 in3/ft = 1,664#/ft = 138.6#/ft 1 month loads


Maper = 0.31*9,600 psi*0.403 in3/ft = 1,199#/ft = 99.9#/ft permanent loads


Maximum bending moment will occur at center edge of the glass light:
Mec = Ce*w*e2
Ce is from graph based on b/e where b is always the smaller dimension.
When b/e < 0.33 Ce may be taken as 0.125
For concentrated loads
Ml = 2CePe for concentrated load P at the light center edge

Mc = U*d2/2 at support axis

Mc = P*d
Dead load equivalent load = 0.3978/0.169*6.3 = 14.8
For a design load of W = 25 psf (live or wind (ASD level)) or P = 50 lb load
U = 25+14.8 = 39.8psf
Based on assumed b/e 0.33


e = [(3,868.8#/12)*8/39.8psf]1/2 = 8 = 96


e = 3,868.8#*4/50 = 305.5 = 25.46 concentrated loads wont control


d = [(3,868.8#/12)*2/39.8psf]1/2 = 4 = 48 Cantilevered length


d = 3,868.8#/50 = 76 concentrated loads wont control
The allowable uniform load may be calculated using:


Us = [(322.4/Ce)/e2] or


Us = [(322.4/(4Ce))/d2]
or for long term loads:

Ult = [(138.6/Ce)/e2] or
Ult = [(138.6/(4Ce))/d2]

or for permanent loads:

Uper = [(99.9/Ce)/e2] or
Uper = [(99.9/(4Ce))/d2]

For multiple types of load:

Us/Mas + Ult/Malt + Uper/Maper 1.0
NOTE:
Visual sagging of the glass will occur at the design loads.

Total loads are based on controlling load combination (use D = 14.8 psf):
D+S or



Sallowable = U-14.8
D+W or



Wallowable = U-14.8
D+0.75(S+W) or

Sallowable+Wallowable = 1.333U-19.3
0.6D+W (wind uplift case (ASD level)) Wallowable = U- 8.9
The allowable load shall be the lesser of the allowable load on the bracket for the support type
and the allowable load for the glass (graphs on page 10).
Wind (ASD level) loading shall be determined in accordance with ASCE/SEI 7-05 Chapter 6 for
roof overhangs or as required by the applicable building code.

fittings are connected together with
1/4 stainless steel threaded rods.
Vs = 0.65*40.5 ksi*0.049 in2/1.6 = 806#
Ts = 0.75*67.5ksi*0.0318 in2/1.6 = 1,006#
Torsion strength of swivel when clamped:

Moment strength of swivel:
Bending in rod to fixed fitting:
rod diameter = 3/8, A = 0.11 in2
Z = 0.3753/6 = 0.0088 in3
Fb = 65 ksi (longitudinal compression)
Mn = 65 ksi*0.0088 in3 = 572#
Service loads on swivel:
Allowable load will be controlled by the bending strength of the connection rod:
Ms = 0.9Mn/1.6 = (0.9*572#/1.6) = 322#
For lateral loading, M = V*2.25
V = 322#/2.25 = 143# per swivel
For normal loads, M = H*0.75
H = 322#/0.75 = 429#
Check strength of fixed bracket to support ( 1/4 threaded rod)
Ms = R*Ts = 13/16*1,006# = 1,584#
For lateral loading, M = V*2.25
V = 1,584#/2.25 = 704# per swivel (limited to 143# from connector rod strength)
For normal loads, M = H*2.5
H = 1,584#/2.5 = 633.6# (limited to 429# by connector rod strength.
Maximum vertical load per fitting = 429#
For 4*16 awning maximum load:
U = 429#/(4*16/4brackets) = 26.8psf
Snow or wind (ASD level) load limited to 20 psf for maximum awning size or add fittings.
Maximum size for 25 psf imposed load and 6.3 psf dead load with 4 fittings:
A = 429#/(25+6.3)*4 = 454.8 sf
