Abstract

Window breakage in fires is an important topic for making accurate predictions for the development of ventilation-controlled fires. In this study, we investigated the cracking time and failure stress of annealed and toughened glass panes exposed to thermal radiation to gather data on the variability in experimental results for glass in fires. We found that cracking times can be described well by Weibull distributions. Additionally, we found that both temperature differences across a glass pane and measurements of the fracture mirror can provide reasonable estimates of the failure stress of a glass pane under thermal exposure.
