Glazed Partitioning: Structural Performance

Description

This seminar explores allowances and limitations in regard to height, width and glass type within BS 6180:2011 as an overview.

The learning aims of this CPD are:

1. To understand the benefits of using glazed partitioning.

2. To understand how British Standards integrate with the specification process of partitions (BS 6180:2011).

3. To understand safety glass types.

4. To understand Internal wind loads - recognising UK (BS), Scotland (SER) and Ireland (BCAR) standards.

5. To understanding maximum height and width allowances, joints and deflection heads and measurements.

By the end of this seminar delegates should:

1. Have a basic understanding of using glazed partitioning allowances and limitations.

2. Understand the design considerations for spaces that demand large scale partitions (extreme height or width).

3. Have gained a better understanding of how glazed partitioning behaves in case of impact, abnormal or rough use.

4. Understand the future of partitioning design and its role in dividing spaces.

5. Recognise innovation of glass and its performance and understand how different glass types operate.
