DIN 18008-1:2018-05

The parts of the standard DIN 18008 regulate the design for the applications of glass in the construction industry for the damage sequence classes 1, 2 and 3 according to EN 1990. Thus, in addition to methods for determining the design values of the load capacity and serviceability also rules for design and construction to ensure For example, sufficient shock resistance and residual capacity of glass in construction. This Part 1 lays down the principles applicable to all parts of the standard. The design value of the flexural strength of glasses loaded on all sides in a line, used for infill and directed perpendicular to the glass plane surface loads (eg wind, snow) glasses for a damage class under the classes regulated in EN 1990 is regulated in (after publication of the final version) E DIN EN 16612, Rules for design and construction not contained in E DIN EN 16612 can be found in this standard. For all other applications, the parts of this standard give the methods for determining the corresponding design values as well as rules for design and construction. Glass products with nominal glass thicknesses of the individual (glass) panes from 2 mm to 25 mm fall under the scope of this standard. This standard also regulates the proofs in the ultimate limit state for non-load-bearing internal glass partitions in accordance with DIN 4103-1 including movable partitions. Unless otherwise specified in the following parts of the standard, requirements for the supporting structure (glazing bead, substructure, and attachment to the building) are not part of this standard.
