Glass Stair
Glass Stair
(OP)
I have a client that would like to use glass elements to build a stair in a high end house (I know it sounds crazy for several reasons). Has anyone ever seen or heard of such a thing.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

If I remember right the glass is very brittle material and you can't count on any yielding mechanism and consecutive any plastic redistribution (reserve). So, if you do the design, just be careful on max. stresses. Find exactly what kind of glass you have and design the "monster" in such way that you don't pass the max. allowed stress with the stresses you'll find on it. You can help yourself with FEM.

Designed by a local engineering firm. I have not seen it myself but reports from friends are that it is spectacular.

I desgined stainless steel ans glass staircases for the following projects:
- A car show room in Tokyo (Japan)
- Another car show room in Tokyo
- New offices in Washington DC (400 metrs from the white house)
- Private home in Kampala (Uganda)
- Glass structure in a Private home in Baku (Azerbaijan
- A glass curtain wall in Alicante (Spain)
I have done all the design process; from on site measurements to the assembly.
