Additional information


Significance and Use
4.1 Glass is a brittle material with different time and temperature-dependent properties than other solid materials used as walkways surfaces. Therefore, the type of glass is an important consideration in the design and construction of glass treads and glass landings constructed with laminated glass. 4.2 Post-breakage glass retention is an important consideration in the design of a glass walkway system as a means of minimizing tripping, cutting/piercing injuries, or fall-through or fallout of the glass. 4.3 The structural design shall be confirmed by calculations by a licensed design professional in accordance with Section 5. 4.4 If testing is required (see 4.4.1 For laminates with two glass plies, verification testing is required. 4.4.2 For laminates with more than two glass plies, verification testing is not required provided that calculations completed in accordance with 4.3 demonstrate that the glass assembly has sufficient strength to sustain the full design load with any one glass ply broken. 4.4.3 When verifying post-breakage behavior by calculation, allowable glass stress for 10 min load duration in accordance with Glass Type	3-sec MPa [psi]	10-min MPa [psi]	60-min MPa [psi]	Permanent MPa [psi]
Annealed	18.3 [2650]	13.2 [1902]	11.7 [1701]	5.7 [827]
Heat-strengthened	36.5 [5300]	30.9 [4482]	29.2 [4235]	20.3 [2944]
Tempered	73.0 [10 600]	65.3 [9471]	63.0 [9137]	49.4 [7165]

4.5 The manufacturer or designer of glass walkway systems shall provide installation directions and fabrication and installation tolerances of their systems.

4.6 The structural integrity of the glass walkway system after glass breakage shall be sufficient to support the design loads after any one glass ply is broken. If damage of any kind occurs, the walkway shall be cordoned off and the installation shall be inspected to ensure structural integrity and pedestrian safety of the system.

1. Scope

1.1 This practice addresses elements related to load-bearing glass walkways, glass treads, and glass landings constructed with laminated glass. This standard includes performance, design, and safe behavior considerations. It addresses the characteristics unique to glass and laminated glass. Issues that are common to all walkways, such as slip resistance, are addressed in existing referenced standards.

1.2 This practice does not address glass walkways constructed with monolithic glass, glass block, insulating glass units, glass tiles that are directly bonded to a non-glass structural substrate, or glass walkways intended to support vehicular traffic.

1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
