Hi,
Given a maximum span for a pane of glass calculated from BS5516, I am wondering what happens when the pane is not rectangluar (e.g. it adjoins a gable) and the longest edge is larger than the max span?
For example,
Say you calculated the span to be 1m (two edge supported) and the top edge had a length of 1.2m while the bottom edge was 0.7m.
How would you determine if that pane was satisfactory?
I.e. Take the longest edge? The average of the two? Calculate the span halfway up the pane?
