Glass walkway is a popular scenic spot in recent years. When people walk on the hanging glass walkway, most of them are very frightened and frightened. Looking from the transparent glass to the bottom of the valley, they are really scared. After all, glass is very fragile in our impression. So is the glass on the boardwalk safe? Now let's decrypt it.
Type of glass used in glass walkway: double (multi-layer) tempered laminated glass
The tempered laminated glass used in the boardwalk project is a safety glass that combines tempered glass with SGP film and undergoes scientific processes such as high-temperature preloading, vacuuming, and high-temperature and high-pressure treatment. Tempered glass itself is an excellent material with high load-bearing capacity, good wear and weather resistance, combined with film with good tensile strength and the ability to resist strong external impacts, it has a certain explosion-proof ability and dual safety protection.
The double-layer tempered laminated glass has high transparency, which is not much different from the ordinary laminated glass, and will not affect the sight effect of glass walkway and glass overhead viewing platform.
The glass walkway has the following characteristics:
A、 The bearing capacity of a single piece of glass on the glass walkway is about 1 ton, and its load safety coefficient can be compared with that of traditional reinforced concrete. Good safety coefficient is the basis for the commercialization of glass walkway.
B、 Double layered tempered laminated glass is processed through special techniques, greatly improving its compressive, seismic, and impact resistance. In the event of accidental breakage, the glass will not shatter directly like ordinary glass, but only into a mesh. The film still maintains the glass as a whole piece, providing protection.
C、 Glass walkway railing and bottom infrastructure are basically made of stainless steel or steel skeleton, which is not easy to deform, has good weather resistance, and is durable.
SGP film: It has high strength and shear capacity, and its load-bearing capacity is twice that of PVB film of the same thickness. Under the same load and thickness, the bending deflection of SGP laminated glass is only one fourth of that of PVB laminated glass; The tear resistance of SGP laminated film is 5 times lighter than PVB, and even in the event of breakage, it can form a temporary safety structure that can withstand certain loads without causing the glass to fall. It has natural resistance to natural disasters such as strong winds, earthquakes, and human damage such as knocking and smashing.
