Abstract: Architectural glazing designers in the United States and many other parts of the world use prescriptive methods to determine the load resistance (LR) of glazing and glazing constructions in buildings based on a probabilistic ...

Abstract: Model building codes and standards in the United States find their bases in a probabilistic model of glass load resistance (LR). In general, architectural flat glass design predicated on these model building codes and ...

Abstract: Designers of architectural glass in the United States rely on model building codes and standards for definitions of load resistance (LR) and other factors pertinent to design. Unfortunately, US model building codes and ...
