5.6.4 Wind Resistance for Underlavment Systems in Foam-On Tile Applications:
FRSA/TRI April 2012(04-12) does not address wind uplift resistance of all underlayment systems beneath
foam-on or mortar-set tile systems, where the underlayment forms part of the load-path. The following
wind uplift limitations apply to underlayment systems that are not addressed in FRSA/TRI April 2012 (04-
12) and are used in foam-on or mortar-set tile applications. Maximum Design Pressure is the result of
testing for wind load resistance based on allowable wind loads, and reflects the ultimate passing pressure
divided by 2(the 2 to 1 margin of safety per FBC 1504.9 has already been applied). Refer to FRSA/TRI April
2012(04-12),Appendix A,Table 1A or FBC 1609 for determination of design wind loads.
