| Abstract | Glass is successful in meeting its requirements as an element in an exterior wall. The joint between the glazing unit and the window sash or frame, however, is vulnerable because of the many requirements it must fulfil. The most common expressions of failure are glass breakage and rain and air leakage. Successful glazing requires an understanding of all the factors that contribute to failures and a knowledge of the properties of the materials to be used. Knowledge of the requirements of each component of the joint detail is also essential. The demands upon each component of the joint can be minimized by good design. |
