The high temperature caused the glass to burst suddenly, and the city still needs to strengthen supervision
at about 9:00 a.m. on July 5, the external glass curtain wall on the 7th floor of a sightseeing elevator in Nanning Yufeng commercial building suddenly burst, and glass debris scattered from the 7th floor of the Mall onto the sidewalk; A few days later, a piece of glass in a bank business hall on Taoyuan road also burst, and the glass fragments were connected together after the explosion, without any adverse consequences. It is understood that the burst glass is tempered glass
in less than 10 days, there were two consecutive bursts of tempered glass hanging on the outer wall. Why did the tempered glass burst? Who should compensate for the personal injury or property injury caused by the burst? Yesterday, the investigation learned that a large number of tempered glass used as glass curtain walls will explode when exposed to high temperature and other adverse conditions, but there is no department supervision at present, and there is no legal basis for who will pay after the glass burst
incident
the high temperature caused the glass to burst suddenly
recently, one of the glass in the Taoyuan Road business point of Industrial Bank burst, and the glass fragments were connected to form a spider shape. At about 11 a.m. yesterday, I saw that curtains were hung on the glass walls of the business hall, except for one glass wall. The hot sun shone into the business hall from this glass, which was particularly dazzling
"'bang ', I went over and saw that the glass had broken. Fortunately, it was tempered glass, and the fragments were connected together, which did not cause any adverse effects." The security guard at the Taoyuan Road business point of Industrial Bank said that the burst glass was in the position without curtains, which occurred two weeks ago. After the incident, the bank immediately contacted the glass manufacturer to replace it, but the curtain had not been hung
the burst of tempered glass of industrial bank did not cause any adverse impact on the better market position of Durethan, pocan and tepex high-performance plastic brands, but on the morning of July 5, the external glass curtain wall on the 7th floor of a sightseeing elevator in Nanning Yufeng commercial Jinan Shijin reciprocating tension and compression testing machine building suddenly burst, and glass debris immediately scattered from the 7th floor of the commercial building to the sidewalk. After the glass burst, an elevator stopped automatically, and two female passengers were trapped in the elevator. Miss Zhang, who was shopping at the scene of the incident, said that the glass fragments fell in front of her and fell on her one step further. She is still afraid to think of it
why did the tempered glass burst continuously in less than 10 days? Some glass manufacturers believe that this is related to high temperature weather. Now it is midsummer, and air conditioners are generally used in rooms, with the indoor temperature not exceeding 26 ℃. The temperature of outdoor glass doors, windows and exterior walls can reach 34 ℃ due to direct exposure to the sun for a long time, forming a large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, which is easy to cause glass expansion and burst.

extension
the probability of glass bursting is not high
it is understood that since 1983, China first adopted glass curtain walls in the Great Wall Hotel Project in Beijing, by the end of 2005, various glass curtain wall buildings reached 150million square meters, accounting for more than 50% of the global total, becoming the world's leading country in the production and use of glass curtain walls. At present, many high-rise buildings and residential quarters in Nanning use tempered glass as doors, windows and curtain walls
toughened glass has anti-theft, bullet proof and explosion-proof functions due to its advantages of wind pressure resistance, cold and summer resistance, impact resistance, safety and penetration resistance. It is called "safety glass" and is widely used in urban beautification construction. Many windows, doors and curtain walls of high-rise buildings are equipped with glass
while beautifying the city, glass curtain walls gradually expose hidden dangers with the growth of service life. In addition to light pollution, the self explosion and falling off of glass curtain walls have become potential safety hazards in cities. At present, the self explosion rate of tempered glass allowed by the state is 3 ‰
"the quality and strength of building glass are guaranteed, but the seismic resistance and deformation resistance of glass are insufficient. Once encountering typhoons, hurricanes, earthquakes, hail, sudden changes in temperature difference, etc., explosion may occur, which may hurt people and property." A retiree in Nanning who has been engaged in urban construction management for a long time but declined to be named said that glass curtain walls have been used in Nanning since the mid and late 1990s, initially in commercial buildings, and then gradually extended to ordinary residential buildings. There must be hidden dangers of sudden glass bursting to a certain extent, but the probability of occurrence is not high
reasons
glass components expand and contract with heat and cold, causing self explosion
a technical staff member of Nanning glass factory, who asked not to be named, said that tempered glass contains a component called nickel sulfide. In the case of thermal expansion and contraction, small particles of nickel sulfide will become larger and smaller, which is inconsistent with the size of glass deformation. This situation may lead to severe changes in the internal stress of the glass, resulting in self explosion
he said that the raw material for the production of tempered glass is quartz sand ore. nickel sulfide is located in Linyi City, Shandong Province and exists in quartz sand ore. although glass manufacturers will try to remove nickel sulfide in the production process, with current domestic technology, nickel sulfide cannot be completely removed, so self explosion is a defect of tempered glass. The self explosion probability specified by the industry is 3 ‰. He said that the reason why tempered glass is called safety glass is that the broken tempered glass has no acute angle. Even so, there is still a saying in the industry that after the curtain wall of a high-rise bursts, glass particles are scattered in the air, and the lethality is comparable to that of bullets
it is understood that the safety supervision department and the housing management department are not the supervision departments of the glass curtain wall, while the supervision of the Construction Committee on the glass curtain wall is limited to construction and installation, and the existing glass curtain wall should be managed and maintained by the owner or user on a daily basis
