R607.4.4

Section R607.4.4 is titled 'Curved panels' and covers requirements for wall construction. The requirement for curved glass masonry panels to conform with other sections of this code, and for structural supports to be provided at specific locations is established. The purpose of this section is to prevent structural failure.

The model shows a multiplecurve wall panel with the locations of the structural supports highlighted. (Determing the location of the middle support at the inflection point requires finding the second derivative using differential calculus.)
