2404.1 - Vertical glass
Glass sloped 15 degrees (0.26 rad) or less from vertical in windows, curtain and window walls, doors and other exterior applications shall be designed to resist the wind loads in Section 1609 for components and cladding. Glass in glazed curtain walls, glazed storefronts and glazed partitions shall meet the seismic requirements of ASCE 7, Section 13.5.9. The load resistance of glass under uniform load shall be determined in accordance with ASTM E 1300.
The design of vertical glazing shall be based on the following equation:
| Fgw <= Fga | (Equation 24-1) |
where:
Fgw = Wind load on the glass computed in accordance with Section 1609.
Fga = Short duration load on the glass as determined in accordance with ASTM E 1300.
