Structural glass design code?

Structural glass design code?

Structural glass design code?

(OP)
Is there an American structural glass design code or manual. I've tried to to Google this without much luck.

I am trying to provide calcs for a glass canopy, and need some design parameters and allowable physical properties. The canopy is supporting its own weight, snow load, and wind; and must span between supports. Thanks in advance.

RE: Structural glass design code?

GANA Glazing Manual should be given what you want.

RE: Structural glass design code?

I believe IBC2003 has some basic glass thickness and plate lengths vs load tables.  See Chapter 24

RE: Structural glass design code?

The IBC charts are the best way to go.
