Numerous stress calculations were performed, according to the most recent codes, as well as static and dynamic measurements. According to our calculations and measurements, a properly installed Barrier in igstalled either Sleeves or Mounts can not only withstand the .,,•x structural requireients neededo witlstand coastal wind loading, but also the special requirements needed for child and convalescent adult protection. Further, the mesh meets the requirements of ASTM F2286-16 Standard Design and Performance Specification for Removable Mesh Fencing for Swimming Pools, Hot Tubs, and Spas. All stress analyses were performed using the load and calculation requirements of the Florida Building Code 2017- Building, the Florida Building Code 2017- Residential, 2018 Florida Statue 515, and EAS-05/18A (Flexible Pool Barrier Safety Standard.) All components of the Barrier were found to have a Safety Factor of at least 3.0. 177 N. U.S. Highway One. PMB 310, Tequesta, Florida 33469 (661) 744-0510 • Fax (561) 744-T402 The parameters and conditions used for the wind load calculations were as follows: WIND SPEED: — 194 MPH (Vult) or 150 MPH (Vasd) POOL LEVEL HEIGHT: 50' RISK CATEGORY: II WIND DIRECTION FACTOR: 0.85 EXPOSURE CATEGORY: C TOPOGRAPHIC CATEGORY: 1.00 GUST EFFECT FACTOR: '0.85 ICE THICKNESS: 0" All measurements were taken on a three -panel, four -pole "typical" segment of the Barrier installed in Mounts at Pool Barrier Corp's office building. Numerous static and dynamic measurements were taken. All static measurements were taken using an engineer's scale and tape measure. All dynamic measurements were taken using a calibrated Omega Digital Force Meter. The force meter has been certified accurate to within one one -hundredth of a pound. The following static measurements were taken: A The soil in the test area was uncompacted sand. ➢ Each Barrier post was inserted either four inches (4") into a founinch (4") long Sleeve or four inches (4") into a sixteen inch (16") long Mount. ➢ Each Sleeve or Mount was embedded flush with the surrounding deck or grade. ➢ The top of the Barrier measured forty-eight inches (48") above the grade. ➢ The maximum vertical clearance between the bottom of the Barrier and.the grade was less than two inches (2"). ➢ There were no openings or gaps in the Barrier that would allow the passage of a two-inch diameter (0 2") sphere. _ ➢ Both sides of the Barrier were flush and free of any hand and foot holds. ➢ No horizontal surface protruded more than one-half inch (1/211) from either side of the Barrier. ➢ The maximum mesh size found throughout the fabric was less than one -sixteenth of one -inch (1/1611) square. _ ➢ The fabric mesh allowed more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the visible light to pass through either side. ➢ The maximum horizontal span of fabric between the posts was thirty-six inches (36"). The following dvnantic measurements were taken: ➢ When subjected to two hundred pounds (200 lbs.) of horizontal force applied' forty-eight incites above grade, the maximum horizontal deflection of the top of any post was less than eight inches (<8"). ➢ All posts returned to within one inch (<i") of the original position after the force was removed. ➢ When subjected to two hundred pounds (200 lbs.) of horizontal force applied thirty-six inches above grade, the maximum horizontal deflection of the top of any post was less than eight inches (<811). ➢ All posts returned to within one inch (<1") of the original position after the force was removed. ➢ When subjected to fifty pounds (50 lbs.) of force from any direction, the maximum vertical clearance between the bottom of the Barrier and the grade was two inches (211). ➢ When subjected to fifty pounds (50 lbs.) of normal force,,a one -inch diameter (0 111) hole cut through the fabric did'not allow the passage of a two-inch diameter (0 211)sphere. Accordingly, the Firm,believes that the Barrier, when installed in compliance with Addendum A through Addendum F, has sufficient structural integrity to prevent a child from breaking through the fabric or other panel components of the Barrier. Furthermore, the Barrier has sufficient structural integrity to prevent buckling under a two hundred pound (200 lb.) load from any direction, such as a tripping or falling adult night produce. Finally, the Barrier has sufficient structural integrity to withstand coastal wind loads.
