2409.2 Design Load
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
The design for glass used in floors, landings, stair treads and similar locations shall be determined as indicated in Section 2409.4 based on the load that produces the greater stresses from the following:
1. The uniformly distributed unit load (Fu) from Section 1607;
2. The concentrated load (Fc) from Table 1607.1; or
The dead load (D) for glass in psf (kN/m2) shall be taken as the total thickness of the glass plies in inches by 13 (For SI: glass plies in mm by 0.0245). Load reductions allowed by Section 1607.9 are not permitted.
