| | THE SUBMITTALS HAVE BEEN DENIED BY BUILDING |
| | PLEASE ADDRESS THE ITEMS NOTED BELOW: |
| | |
| | THE PREVIOUS COMMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVED. AS STATED |
| | IN PREVIOUS COMMENT #1, RATIONAL ANALYSIS IS NOT |
| | ALLOWED TO BE USED TO INCREASE THE MAXIMUM DESIGN |
| | PRESSURES OF A TESTED ASSEMBLY. THE WINDOW SYSTEMS HAVE |
| | BEEN TESTED AND THEN SAFETY FACTORS ARE APPLIED PER FBC |
| | 1710. |
| | |
| | 1) NOT RESOLVED. ALL OF THE PREVIOUS COMMENTS HAVE BEEN |
| | ADDRESSED WITH ONE EXCEPTION. THE RATIONAL ANALYSIS |
| | CALCULATIONS THAT WERE SUBMITTED FOR THE 24" X 24" ES |
| | 1500 FIXED WINDOWS IN ZONE 5 ARE INCORRECT. RATIONAL |
| | ANALYSIS CAN NOT BE USED TO INCREASE THE WIND LOAD |
| | PRESSURES FOR A TESTED ASSEMBLY. THE NEGATIVE AND |
| | POSITIVE PRESSURES OF +70, -90 PSF LISTED IN PRODUCT |
| | APPROVAL ARE BASED ON THE TESTING AND SAFETY FACTORS AS |
| | REQUIRED BY THE 2014 FBC SECTION 1710.5. |
| | |
| | A) THE WIND LOAD PRESSURES ON SHEET S.04 IN THE TABLE |
| | FOR AN EFFECTIVE WIND AREA LESS THAN 10 SQFT IN WALL |
| | ZONE 5A IS +90.3 PSF, -165.9 PSF. NOTE #5 STATES THAT |
| | THE VALUES IN THE TABLE ARE ULTIMATE AND CAN BE |
| | MULTIPLIED BY 0.6 TO DETERMINE SERVICE LOADS OR ASD. |
| | AFTER THESE PRESSURES ARE MULTIPLIED BY 0.6, THE |
| | REQUIRED WINDOW DESIGN PRESSURES ARE +54.3 PSF AND |
| | -99.54 PSF. SINCE THE MAXIMUM NEGATIVE DESIGN PRESSURE |
| | FOR THE (2' X 2') FIXED WINDOWS IN NOA NO. 17-1114.10 |
| | IS -90 PSF, THEY DO NOT MEET THE REQUIRED PRESSURE. |
| | |
| | B) THE CALCULATIONS ARE BASED ON PART OF THE WINDOWS |
| | BEING LOCATED IN WALL PRESSURES ZONE 4. HOWEVER, IF ANY |
| | PORTION OF THE WINDOW IS LOCATED IN WALL ZONE 5, THEN |
| | THE ENTIRE WINDOW IS EVALUATED TO THE GREATER PRESSURES |
| | OF ZONE 5. |
| | |
| | 2) WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A |
| | RESPONSE LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE |
| | CITY RE-SUBMITTAL FORM. |
