Design of Structural Glass

[timh]

Does anyone know of any good references for the design of structural glazing systems. <br>
<br>
In particular I am interested in <br>
<br>
1. unframed glass walls consisting of tensioned truss assemblies supporting glass walls via patch fittings and &quot;spiders&quot; onto the rear face of the glass.<br>
and<br>
2. Long term creep effects on glass (in particular laminated panes)<br>
<br>
I have heard that the Canadian code is a reasonable reference but have no other references. Can anyone assist?<br>
<br>

Have you tried to get info from some specialist glass suppliers ? Someone like Viracon (

http://www.viracon.com)can

probably give you creep data and also refer you to structural codes.
