Highlights
Code of Practice for Structural Use of Glass
2018 has formally issued by Buildings Department on 9 Feb 2018 together with a
Circulation Letter highlighting the special features and date of effective
implementation with a grace period of 12-month for the captioned.
The Code provides guidance on design,
construction, testing and quality assurance of structural glass works. It adopts the limit state design approach,
which should provide a more rigorous and economical design than conventional
method.
The seminar takes a performance-based approach
to explore in-depth the processes of design and construction of building
envelopes, with an emphasis on the background and technologies behind
structural glass work. Aesthetic and latest
technology encompassed by glass design will be addressed.
