Considered the issues of definition maximum acceptable load on supporting construction, made of glass. Object of research is a complex construction – insulated glass unit. Glass unit has two loaded layers of three in triplex and central layer – air chamber. Air chamber is formed by rubber layer, connecting external layers of triplex by perimeter. Glass unit loading is single-sided, only on top layer. Glass unit fastening was made only in four corner points. Researches were made in program complex COSMOSWORKS. Maximum acceptable load is searched by iterative calculation with step-by-step increase of calculation load on model. Established, that covering deformation and the stress distribution in them changes linearly. The value of maximum acceptable load for glass unit with special geometrical and physical characteristics was calculated. In this article the optical, thermal and other glass unit properties were not considered. The article presents the results of glass unit analysis when only mechanical action is applied to them. Temperature effect on glass units was not considered in this article.
