“DESIGNING COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS

WITH SECURITY GLASS”

THE BASICSSecurity Glass

Security glazing is not mandated by the model building codes

Desired security requirements are determined by the building owner

Security glazing can fall into multiple categories such as: burglary, forced entry, ballistics, bomb blast, etc.

SECURITY GLAZING

SECURITY

Security refers to the

risk management of

injury and/or loss

from the intention

actions of an

individual or group

SECURITY VERSUS SAFETY

SAFETY

Safety refers to the

risk management of

injury and/or lost from

natural causes

Security glazing is the result of designers and

building owners need to achieve a balance in

design aesthetics, interior daylighting and and

achieving protection against criminal and terrorist.

attacks

WHY A NEED FOR SECURITY GLAZING

We desire the use of glass due to its transparency and general appearance – larger expanses of glass continues to be an architectural design trend

Glass by nature is very fragile and unable to resist being broken, cracked and shattered

To achieve a particular performance level for impact resistance it must be modified in some manor to resist being broken, cracked or shattered

GLASS

The use of security glazing around the world continues to grow

Government, multinational corporation and sensitive corporate information continues to drive the need for high performance security structures

The ongoing need for effective containment while providing daylight is a key driver in detention facilities and prisons

USING SECURITY GLAZING

Burglary, Forced Entry, Ballistic Attacks and Bomb Blast continue to rise in the United States

A burglary occurs every 15 seconds in the United States

Homemade bombs are easily made and obtained in the open market

90% of all injuries from a bomb blast are a result of flying glass shards

SECURITY PROTECTION

USE IN THE UNITED STATES

Prisons detention centers research & development centers Banks law enforcement centers Hospitals testing facilities medical laboratories industrial and chemical plants safe houses safe rooms … and more

SECURITY GLAZING APPLICATIONS

Burglary is the unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or theft. The use of forced entry is typically the means of burglarizing someone’s property.

Designing for burglary resistance and/or forced entry is to eliminate or minimize the ability to gain illegal forced entry to a property.

Detention or containment can fall into this general category of forced entry – offers similar performance criteria

DEFINING FORCED ENTRY

Testing & Performance Levels

WMFL 8801 Attack Resistant Standard for Forced Entry Procedures and Ballistics

H.P. White TP-0500.02 Transparent Materials for Use in Forced Entry or Containment Barriers

ASTM F01233 Standard Spec for Security Glazing Materials and Systems (impact & ballistics)

ASTM F-1915 Standard Spec for Glazing of Detention Facilities

FORCED ENTRY GLAZING PRODUCT TYPES

Note: glass type is a critical component of the overall glazing systems but it’s the entire system that is designed to meet the various performance standards.

FORCED ENTRY: CASE STUDY

Project Image/s

Ballistic attacks are solely attributed to assaults from handguns, shotguns or rifles.

Body Injury and physical damage can be sever, required glazing is designed foremost to prevent penetration of the impacting projectile and then to minimize excessive spallin

BALLISTICS: CASE STUDY

Project Image/s

Blast attacks are attributed to deliberate acts of destruction.

◦ The primary cause of damage is the shock or initial blast wave from the explosion.

◦ The secondary cause of damage is form fragments of the encasement material (i.e. glass)

◦ The third cause can be the hot gasses and flames that ignite fires resulting in burn victims and structural damage
