Developed within the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program NEHRP, seismic design provisions for
architectural glass were adopted in ASCE 7 and are now constituents of all major building codes. These
provisions make reference to a specialized laboratory test method developed and published by AAMA.
Together, the design provisions and laboratory test methods are intended to improve the life-safety
performance of architectural glass components in earthquake-prone regions.
AAMA 501.6-09, Recommended Dynamic Test Method for Determining the Seismic Drift Causing
Glass Fallout from a Wall System.
ASCE 7-05, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures.
2009 International Building Code.
