Structural Performance CPD

This RIBA approved CPD explores allowances and limitations in regard to height, width and glass type within BS 6180:2011 as an overview.

• To understand the benefits of using glazed partitioning.
• To understand how British Standards integrate with the specification process of partitions (BS 6180:2011).
• To understand safety glass types.
• To understand Internal wind loads – recognising UK (BS), Scotland (SER) and Ireland (BCAR) standards.
• To understanding maximum height and width allowances, joints and deflection heads and measurements.

By the end of this seminar delegates should:

• Have a basic understanding of using glazed partitioning allowances and limitations.
• Understand the design considerations for spaces that demand large scale partitions (extreme height or width).
• Have gained a better understanding of how glazed partitioning behaves in case of impact, abnormal or rough use.
• Understand the future of partitioning design and its role in dividing spaces.
• Recognise innovation of glass and its performance and understand how different glass types operate.
