Aquarium Dude Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 That excel calculator doesn't take into accout bracing does it? So I am looking at a tank that is 3.8sf in 10mm glass and 1.495sf in 6mm glass. By adding bracing around the top, how does this effect that saftey factor.

Warren Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 The calculations that follow expect the glass to be supported around its perimeter on all four sides. The calculation is the same regardless of whether the perimeter join is in compression or tension. Looks like it takes bracing into account to me (all four sides = bottom, left side, right side and top)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
