They are laminated and tempered (or laminated and hardened, something like that). My old house had a lot of glass walls and doors, a construction guy once walked right into one carrying a metal radiator, there was no scratch. But the glass doors do get scratches from people with rings and sand and stuff but they’re still okay. I don’t know what they do with them but the right glass is extremely strong

[Anonymous No.2762882]

>>2762663
No, it can shatter when it gets a very concentrated force applied like hitting it with a center punch or dinging a raw edge or corner, but scratches aren't a problem...I used to make architectural art glass and we could safely sandblast up to 1/4 into the thickness of tempered glass.

But >>2762872 is correct, glass stair treads are laminated from tempered glass so that any sharp blows that might cause one to explode only damages that outer layer and enough structural integrity is maintained that you don't fall through.

A dropped diamond ring wont do anything, unless you hit it *just* right with some force behind it tempered glass is incredibly tough.

the benefit of tempered glass is it turns into little sharp beads that won't evicerate you or slice your femoral artery. laminating only keeps it from flying when it explodes. ask a 1st responder about plastic door panels on cars if you want to know what a sharp slice of something can do to the human body.

I'm sure those stairs are 3 or 4 layers of laminated glass so even if one layer broke it would still be fully capable of supporting the weight rating of the stairs.

NTA but *I* am sure from reading the technical specifications and understanding how these treads are made that the anon is correct that those kinds of glass treads are engineered to not allow someone to fall through them should one or more of the multiple layers shatter, and the designs are rigorously tested for that ability before being OKed for use.

Simplynput: the kinds of loads needed to completely disintegrate one of those treads in a single event are high enough that they would do the same to many other common materials used in that same application, that also meet the minimum safety thresholds of building codes.

Also important to make a distinction with auto glass that windshields aren't tempered, but use laminated annealed glass for two reasons:

1) tempered glass instantly becomes obscured over its entire surface from even the tiniest fracture, so that if the tiniest pebble or other debris hit your windshield at speed, rather than a crack you'd be effectively blinded by the crazing of the entire surface

2) laminated annealed glass retains a lot of strength against penetration even after it breaks which can prevent items and passengers from being ejected in a sudden deceleration impact.

Architectural glass that has to hold people against falling will often combine both types of glass, with tempered outer lamination providing higher shatter resistance and thick inner layers providing immense structural strength.

Also, the nature of the polymer used to laminate glass causes it to buffer and disperse shock loads in ways that resist total failure and concentrate damage closer to the source of impact.

On top of that, lamination polymers have been developed *specifically* to capitalize on this and also offer vastly improved structural integrity both when intact and after breaking-

>Post glass breakage, a glass unit laminated with an IQ’s Strengthening Interlayer has greater strength than standard PVB. It is able to hold a 3300kg load with minimal deflection as opposed to an equivalent PVB laminated unit which displaced dramatically after 400 seconds. A strengthening interlayer also has a tested tear strength of 50 MJ/m3 compared to a standard PVB interlayer of 10-15 MJ/m3.

>This means that even post breakage, the laminated glass panel can still hold the weight of a human for over 1800 seconds ensuring that installations are safe and secure until a repair can occur.

Depends on the direction of the strike, delivered so that the energy goes straight into a hard corner/edge *maybe*, but a glancing blow won't necessarily do it, and either way it still has to be more than "the lightest tap" nine out of ten times.

How the edges are prepped before tempering matters a lot, and ironically cheap tempered glass that will go into a frame where the edges will be protected will often be poorly prepped on the edges and corners and will be far more prone to blowing up this way, where a simple swipe with an abrasive tool prior to to tempering would eliminate most of the hard angles that concentrate internal stress and give that particular piece a hair trigger for breakage.

Meanwhile, tempered glass items without hard corners/ edges like Corelle dishware can be dropped and hit on their edges all day long without shattering or even chipping.

Depends on the chemical mix of the glass, the hardness of said metal, the force applied, the size of the impact point, etc. SOP for exposed laminated structural glass would be a polymer film around the edges anyway, to avoid water or other contaminant ingress into the laminating agent.

Escalators exist to make it easier for people who have trouble with stairs. Imagine an old man with a cane having to carefully get down the stairs without tripping because the escalator stops 3 steps short for whatever reason, when it could have just deposited the old man down safely at the bottom.

If that short flight of steps was just around the corner, it would still be silly, but you could kind of justify it by saying that it'd be really expensive to install a whole separate escalator installation for a flight of like three steps. But here, it's just plain ridiculous to have the escalator already there and in place and just have it be three steps short of the full run.

[Anonymous No.2764830]

>>2764816
>Escalators exist to make it easier for people who have trouble with stairs.

That is *not* the primary reason they exist or are installed; people who have trouble with stairs are at a distinct disadvantage when getting on and off escalators, which requires quick and decisive steps with adequate lifting of the feet to accomplish safely.

You just made that up; escalators are used because they allow people to rasily move between floors en masse without the need to wait for elevators that have limited load capacity. They can also still function as stairs in a pinch when shut down.

>Imagine an old man with a cane having to carefully get down the stairs without tripping because the escalator stops 3 steps short for whatever reason, when it could have just deposited the old man down safely at the bottom.

As has already been pointed out, this is *not* a down escalator so this entire hypothetical scenario is a red herring grasping at straws.

This arrangement isnt optimal but there's probably a reason for it that makes some sort of financial sense and is well worth the small inconvenience.

Just like stair stringers escalators are made to order and are not easily altered...there may have been a building redesign that happened after the unit was ordered that resulted in it being too short, or perhaps they were able to get one that was already built and unusable because some dumbass measured wrong, and they got it at a deep discount that covered the cost of adding a landing and stairs.

Regardless, it's not some old man safety issue and escalators are just a convenience for everyone, not specifically intended for people with limited mobility.

The fact it's in a corridor not a room suggests it was a required path from A to B. Not sure if there were other paths to get from A to B, or if those paths would always be open to both directions of traffic. Completely lacks the privacy for an old folks bath too, even if a bath was required to get into the ball pit or whatever. It makes sense to me if people would be walking out of a mycology lab or something similar while wearing protective clothing, and showering down while still wearing that clothing, possibly even submerging themselves if they're wearing airtight suits, in order to stop cross-contamination. In this case, the corridor would be to seperate the area with normal unwashed people and the area with positive air pressure and sensitive microbial cultures. Or to protect the outside from dangerous microbial cultures.

>>2765864

I'm always disturbed and irritated seeing these free-standing pipes that have zero support or protection. All of them are exposed to be grabbed by hands or knocked by something falling on them. It takes just one yank and some soldered joint gets broken some place you can't see it and then it just gushes water... or sewage... or natural gas. What do you think happens when the valve you try to close won't move because it's been suffering decades of neglect and is rusted shut? Or even worse still, the direction you twist is the wrong one and you break it a second time at the valve.

I actually approve of this. Stops the retards (Chinese) ignoring the signs and trying to take trolleys and prams onto escalators.

My library stairs were very similar. I bet they make you feel like a one-legged pirate climbing them (because if you take the outside line, one leg does all the work)

>Imagine an old man with a cane having to carefully get down the stairs without tripping because the escalator stops 3 steps short for whatever reason, when it could have just deposited the old man down safely at the bottom
I wander what “down” means. Do you think it means down?

does the basement have a separate entrance?
in mining, coal, and other heavy industry areas, its common to have a wash room very close to an alternate entrance to the house, so the man when returning home could put his soiled clothes in the washer, clean himself up, and not track filth into his house

judging by the style of kitchen I ripped out, was probably buried 30yrs ago. Shoulda took a pic of how they ran new outlets. Sheetrocked over existing wall, left a gap in the belly joint and ran wire in there. Slapped some tape over it and then a flimsy 1/8" wood panel on top and called it a day.
