User-Defined Modification of Coefficient kc in DIN 18008

Is it possible to customize the factor kc?


Answer:

In the settings for the standard (DIN 18008), the construction coefficient kc can be user-defined.

In Chapter 8.3.6 (DIN 18008‑1:2010‑12), this factor is given as 1.0, if no other parts of the standard are to be followed.

In the case of linearly supported glass in particular, Chapter 7.2 (DIN 18008‑2:2010‑12) gives the factor of 1.8 for normal glass and 1.0 for toughened glass.
