Architectural glass components in building envelope systems are commonly classified as ‘nonstructural’ or ‘architectural’ components. Such a classification implies that they are non-load-bearing, which is certainly not the case in reality. When a building is challenged by natural hazards such as earthquakes, heavy snowstorms, and severe windstorms, architectural glass components (i.e. windows, spandrel panels, glazed doors, overhead glazing, skylights, etc.) are often at the very frontline of that building's structural defenses. For this important reason architectural glass components must be designed as structural building components. Classifying architectural glass components as ‘nonstructural’ often leaves them in a gap of design attention between the architect and the structural engineer. This gap needs to be closed.
The purpose of this book is to provide the building envelope designer with a comprehensive resource document and design guide that will enable him/ her to design architectural glass components to resist seismic, snow, and wind effects in accordance with the latest model building code provisions and industry standards in the United States. The scope of this book is limited to the naturally occurring phenomena of earthquakes, snowstorms, and windstorms. Man-made hazards that could necessitate blast design and/ or ballistic design of architectural glass were not included in this book because they are special design scenarios requiring special treatments.
