Load Tables for Plexiglas

[Cambridge99]

I’m looking for load table for Plexiglas. I would like to design a guardrail system with supports every 4’-0” with Plexiglas in between. The Plexiglas will be supported on two opposite edges. We have designed this type of system before with tempered glass using ASTM E 1300-94, but I am not sure where to get load tables for Plexiglas.

Like the "high" laborer that fell thru the metal building skylight recently mentioned in another string here recently, you might back off from the table values to allow for UV degredation of the panels with time. Just a thought.
