Excel For Glass Fin

This document provides information for designing a glass fin facade, including glass and fin dimensions and properties, section properties, bending moment capacity calculations using two different methods, applied loads, and deflection and bending moment analyses. The fin thickness is 26.28mm, width is 350mm, and height is 7000mm. Under a uniform wind load of 1.5kN/m, the calculated deflection of 6.97mm and bending moment of 9.19kN-m are below the limits of 28mm and the capacity of 13.78kN-m.
