Wind Load Glass Calculation for Vertical Glazing

Vertical glazing design often begins with wind pressure and suction. VitraLab separates wind input from other vertical load cases so engineers can control what is included.

Typical Input

Enter pane dimensions, support conditions, glass build-up, and wind pressure or suction values for the glazing panel.

Checks Reviewed

Review ULS stress and SLS deflection under the governing wind load combinations, then check utilization and pass/fail status.

Design Context

Wind load checks may be used for facade panels, curtain wall glazing, partitions, screens, and other vertical glazed elements.

Practical Note

Project wind actions should come from the relevant design brief, local wind code, National Annex, or facade engineering assessment.
