must be available at the jobsite at all times during
installation. ln the event of a conflict between this report and
the manufacture/s instructions, this report governs.
4,1.1 Top Rails: The maximum spans in Table 1 are based
on the capacities of the top rails. At the balustrade end, the
top rail must be attached to a structure, wall, or post able to
support the code-prescribed loads listed in Section 4.2.'l .
4.1.2 Edge Protection: The edge protection in Table 2
may installed on the top edge of glass where a handrail is
used or installation without a top rail is permitted. The edge
protection is not designed to carry the code prescribed loads
listed in Section 4.2.1 of this report.
4.1.3 Handrails:
4.1.3.1 General: Handrails must be installed as required per
the applicable code.
4.1.3.2 Bracketsl The handrail brackets are installed
through holes located near the ends of the glass panels.
See Table 4 for compatible handrail and bracket
combinations.
4.1.3.3 lnstallation: Handrails are installed to glass
panels using the through-glass mounting brackets shown in
Figure 7. The mounting brackets are installed at the ends of
the glass panels. The holes in the laminated glass panels
must comply with Section 4.3 of this report.
4.1.3.4 Spacing: The handrail bracket spacing must be
within the limits shown in Table 4.
4.1.4 Dry Glazing Mechanisms:

4.2 Design:
4.2.1 Live Loads: The following project specific live loads
must be identified while limiting stresses within the glass
panels to 6,000 psi (41.3 MPa) [modulus of rupture
(24,000 psi) divided by a safety factor of 4l and the
deflection to 1 inch (25.4 mm) or less:
r A live load of 50 lb/ft applied in any direction along the
handrail or top rail.
r A single concentrated live load of 200 pounds
(0.89 kN) applied in any direction at any point on the
top of glass panel.
I A horizontally applied normal live load of 50 pounds
applied perpendicular to the glass panel on an area
not to exceed 12-inches-by-12 inches (305 mm-by-
305 mm).
Tables 5 through 8 provide the maximum height of the
guard (Hg) forthe base shoes and glass thicknesses based
on allowable stress and deflection with an applied live load
of 50 plf (0.73 kN/m). For installations in accordance with
the lRC, the 50 plf (0.73 kN/m) load is not applicabte.
4.2.2 Wind Loads: The allowable stress due to wind
loading is 10200 psi (70.3 MPa). The required wind load
must be determined by a qualified design professional
based on the project-specific conditions, taking into account
the balustrade location on the structure, and must not
exceed the values shown in the tables of this report. Tables
5 through 8 provide the allowable wind loads for the various
combinations of base shoes and glass thicknesses.

even if the top fastener does not have the reduced distance, conservatively)
Rbx = Rbxl + Rbx2 = 1182.3 + 50.8 = 1233.1 lbs

4 Recommendations and conclusions
. For the target panel size, use 8 points of support . Maybe we could explore later with Miami Dade
County department the possibitiy of using /ess pornfs of support if the maximum tested support
spacing in width is not exceeded'
itecr to a maximum dr o - 70.0 psf, as. Ljse "ylter only with glass type D, limited to a maximum design pressure of 65'
per results of glass strength capacity.
. Any of the fasiener types analyzed in this document meet the maximum target size and design
pressure for 8 points supported glass panels.
