Spontaneous Glass Breakage
Installation damage
While glass is being moved and installed, it is easy for the glaziers to nick or chip the edges of the glass with various tools. It is also possible for fasteners such as nails or screws which are used to attach glass stops to nick the glass edges if these fasteners are installed at an improper angle. These small nicks or chips may not result in immediate breakage. However, over time, as the glass expands and contracts, stress concentrations can develop around the nick that break the entire unit. In the case of tempered glass the entire unit usually breaks.
Binding in the frame
All glass expands and contracts with changes in temperature and deflects due to wind. This means that almost all Modern Glass in set on resilient blocks at the bottom and with space for expansion at the sides and top. The gaskets holding the glass in the frame are also usually resilient to cushion the glass against wind buffeting. If no space is provided at the perimeter of the unit, the glass will bind against the frame causing internal stresses to develop in the glass which can exceed the strength of glass resulting in breakage.
Internal defects in the glass
Nickel sulfide inclusions ("stones") can exist in the glass. The most common cause of these inclusions is the use of Stainless Steel machinery in the glass making and handling process. Small shavings of stainless steel containing nickel change structure over time and grow creating internal stresses in the glass. When these stresses exceed the strength of the glass breakage results. This type of breakage is almost always found in tempered glass and is indicated by a distinctive "figure eight" pattern, with each "loop" of the figure eight approx. 30mm in diameter. The other use of the word "stone" includes that of the internal furnace wall known as refractory brick. As the molten glass pool is processed, the molten glass erodes the inner brick wall causing small pieces of the brick to become suspended int he molten glass solution. After the glass product is formed, these "stones" are embedded in the final product. The problem with this situation is that these stones, when the ware is heated, creates a thermal anomaly which creates a situation for glass explosion.
Thermal stresses
This is most common in large pieces of sealed insulating glass with heavy heat-absorbing (reflective) coatings. The coating is usually applied to the "number two" surface (the inside face of the outside lite). This causes the outside lite of glass to heat up more than the inside lite as the coating converts radiant heat from the Sun into sensible heat. As the outer lite expands due to heating, the entire unit bends outward. If the spacer bar or other edge condition connects the two lites of glass in a very rigid manner, bending stresses can develop which exceed the strength of the glass causing breakage. This was the cause of extensive glass breakage at the John Hancock Tower in Boston.
Inadequate glass thickness
All glass is engineered to withstand expected wind loads at the site. If the pane is very large and the thickness selected is inadequate, wind loads can cause breakage.
Remedies
Any breakage problem has more severe consequences where the glass installed overhead or in public areas (such as in high-rise buildings). Protection from this hazard can be increased by the application of a safety window film to the tempered panes of glass. An old-fashioned precaution was to install metal screens below skylites.
