Abstract
The following draft Commentary on the Design of Glass has been prepared under the auspices of the Associate Committee on the National Building Code and is now available for public comment from the Secretary of the Associate Committee.The draft Commentary is being published in Can. J. Civ. Eng. as a means of advising those interested engineers who might not normally be made aware of its existence through the medium of NBC/NFC News.The purpose of the Commentary is to make available to the designer detailed information to assist in the interpretation of Code requirements for the design of glass. Although there will be general requirements for glass design included in the 1977 NBC it was not possible to complete public review of the proposed Commentary in time for it to be published in the 1977 Code series. Instead it is intended that the Commentary be issued in the 1979 edition of Supplement No. 4, "Commentaries on Part 4 of the National Building Code".Readers are encouraged to submit comments on the Commentary and these should be sent directly to the Secretary of the Associate Committee. All comments received will be reviewed by the Standing Committee on Structural Design who are responsible to the Associate Committee for Part 4 Design of the NBC and Supplement No. 4.Keywords
