I am designing a dome for a swimming pool for a hotel. It is an 8 sided dome, 64’-0” across. The walls are 20’-0” high and the roof is 4/12 pitch. There is a tension ring around the outside. The roof will be a Plexiglas material and the walls will be a glass storefront.

My question is: what is the drift limit for the glass storefront?

...I had just had a post here that didn't get much action on the use of glass. I had done some research on its use and was not able to answer my own question but I can give you a place to look for your answer...ASTM E1300 has charts for glass and much of the information you might be able to use
