ASTM E1300-2016 – Standard Practices for Determining Load Resistance of Glass in Building, 2016

2016 Edition ASTM E1300- Standard Practice for Determining Load Resistance of Glass in Buildings


1.1 This practice describes procedures to determine the load resistance of specified glass types, including combinations of glass types used in a sealed insulating glass unit, exposed to a uniform lateral load of short or long duration, for a specified probability of breakage.


1.2 This practice applies to vertical and sloped glazing in buildings for which the specified design loads consist of wind load, snow load and self-weight with a total combined magnitude less than or equal to 10 kPa (210 psf). This practice shall not apply to other applications including, but not limited to, balustrades, glass floor panels, aquariums, structural glass members and glass shelves.


1.3 This practice applies only to monolithic, laminated, or insulating glass constructions of rectangular shape with continuous lateral support along one, two, three or four edges. This practice assumes that (1) the supported glass edges for two, three and four sided support conditions are simply supported and free to slip in plane (2) glass supported on two sides acts as a simply supported beam, and (3) glass supported on one side acts as a cantilever.
