scope:

Specifies a method to calculate the thickness of flat glass panes required to resist uniformly distributed actions (e.g self-weight, wind and snow loads) acting normal to the glass pane. Particular solutions are given for: - rectangular glass panes which are simply supported on four, three or two opposite edges;- right-angled triangular and isosceles triangular glass panes which are simply supported on three edges;and -circular glass panes which are simply supported at the edge. For other triangular and for trapezoidal glass panes approximate equations are provided.
