DIN 18008 «Glas im Bauwesen – Bemessungs- und Konstruktionsregeln» wurde 2015 bauaufsichtlich eingefuhrt und lost die Nachweisfuhrung nach DIBt-Richtlinien ab. Damit liegt ein Regelwerk vor, durch welches – mit Blick auf die Einhaltung konstruktiver Bedingungen, wie z. B. Glasaufbau und Lagerung – zahlreiche Glasbauteile ohne zusatzliche Bauteilversuche realisiert werden konnen. Fur die sichere Einarbeitung in die Norm und die Erstellung pruffahiger statischer Nachweise liegt nun eine Beispielsammlung mit Hintergrundinformationen und Kommentaren aus erster Hand vor. Das Buch enthalt einfuhrende Erlauterungen zur Spannungsermittlung im Konstruktiven Glasbau und zu den werkstoffbezogenen Fachbegriffen sowie komplett durchgerechnete Beispiele fur typische Glasbauteile mit ihren Einwirkungen und Einwirkungskombinationen. Teil A umfasst eine kurze Einfuhrung und relevantes Hintergrundwissen zur Norm sowie in Bezug genommene und weiterfuhrende Literatur. In Teil B wird fur verschiedene Verglasungen in unterschiedlichen Einbausituationen beispielhaft die Bemessung nach DIN 18008 veranschaulicht. Als Ausgangsbasis wurde ein freistehendes Hochschulgebaude als Beispielgebaude gewahlt. Teil C beinhaltet Bemessungshilfen basierend auf DIN 18008. Neu entwickelte Bemessungsdiagramme erleichtern die Ermittlung der resultierenden Lastanteile bei Zweifach- und Dreifachisolierverglasungen. Die Bemessungsablaufe sind in Flussdiagrammen ubersichtlich dargestellt. Das Buch ist als Anwendungsdokument zu DIN 18008 zu verstehen. Es ist unentbehrlich fur die Berechnung und Bemessung von tragenden Glasbauteilen und wird fur Praktiker und Studenten gleicherma?en empfohlen.
