I have a question for you, in concrete and steel for a line load, I assume the loads spread on the concrete to a width of the 2*t slab and then multiply by the load sharing factor and get the deflection

What about glass for a point load if we try to check the deflection in a panel? what is the spread width I can assume for Toughed glass
