Structural glass design code? 2

[tmacattack]

Is there an American structural glass design code or manual. I've tried to to Google this without much luck.

I am trying to provide calcs for a glass canopy, and need some design parameters and allowable physical properties. The canopy is supporting its own weight, snow load, and wind; and must span between supports. Thanks in advance.

ASTM E 1300 according to the 2006 IBC.

GANA Glazing Manual should be given what you want.

I believe IBC2003 has some basic glass thickness and plate lengths vs load tables. See Chapter 24

The IBC charts are the best way to go.
