Default sagulator for glass?

Ok, I know that glass doesn't sag (perceptibly), but does anyone have a
source for a load/span calculator for glass?

tia,

jc


glass is amazingly flexible in long pieces. watch them unload 12'x4'x1/2"
glass sheets from the case sometimes. they'll flex back and forth by
multiple inches. i have some double pane windows in my house that are 10'x6'
of normal strength 1/8" glass, and i can press in the middle of the pane to
see the sheet flex.

regards,
charlie
