Load Sharing of Glass Lites

Sec 3.4.1 Laminated Glass

The following applies:

(a) For short-term load durations, the actual total minimum glass thickness, as specifified in Table 4.1, shall be used.
(b) For medium or long-term load duration, the strength of each sheet shall be checked where the proportion of the total load to be
resisted by each sheet

Sec 3.4.2 Insulating Glass Units

For insulating glass units, each pane shall be checked as an individual sheet with the pressure contribution to that sheet determined
from the product of the ultimate limit state design pressure for the IGU
