24、ith two glass plies, verification testingis required.4.4.2 For laminates with more than two glass plies, verifi-cation testing is not required provided that calculations com-pleted in accordance with 4.3 demonstrate that the glassassembly has sufficient strength to sustain the full design loadwith a

35、for the dominant load case (uniform load orconcentrated load) as determined by calculations in accordancewith Section 5.6.3 Test the glass as a system with frame and attachments.6.4 For walkways with two supported edges, test a panelwith the largest span between supports.

40、 broken.7. Other Considerations7.1 Slip Resistance:7.1.1 Walkway slip resistance should be commensurate withintended use, user populations, and foreseeable conditions andcontaminants. Non-level walkways, exterior walkways, walk-ways on which activities other than walking take place (forexample, athl

41、etic events), and walkways that cater to specialpopulations (for example, nursing homes, rehabilitation cen-ters) may require a higher level of slip resistance than otherwalkway surfaces. (See Practice F1637.)7.1.2 Appropriate levels of slip resistance can be accom-plished through a variety of glass

42、 surface treatments, includingsandblasting, acid-etching, ceramic frit, embossing, kilncasting/fusing, and other processes designed to treat the walk-ing surface.7.1.3 The selection of the slip resistant treatment shall bemade according to the intended use and desired durability ofthe walking surfac

47、aesthetics, cost, and glass post-breakage behavior.7.3 Structural Support System:7.3.1 The glass edge support system shall be sufficientlystiff to limit the deflection of the supported glass edges underthe design load to no more than L/500 of their lengths, whereL is the supported length of the glas

48、s, unless analysis takinginto account frame deflection effects on glass stress is carriedout in combination with the design loads in accordance withSection 5.7.3.2 The glass shall be cushioned to prevent direct contactwith the glass support system.7.4 Dynamic Use Considerations:7.4.1 The licensed de

49、sign professional shall consider thenecessity of a glass floor systems vibration review, and ifnecessary, perform such review. Considerations may includesystem continuity, supports, and deflection compatibility withadjacent structures.7.5 Fire Resistance Requirements:7.5.1 Glass walkways shall provide a fire rating whenrequired by the authority having jurisdiction.7.6 Visual Cues:7.7 Glass walkways present a special challenge in balancingthe visual characteristics of glass with considerations of safety.
