Home My WebLink AboutPROJECT INFORMATION.TDB CODE SERVICES, INC. SCANNED BY July 15, 2015 St. Lucie Counts-F i � 1y ILL ' To All Concerned Parties: It has come to my attention that some jurisdictions are not allowing the use of the AAF Guide to Aluminum Construction in High Wind Areas — 2010 Edition. The current edition of the AAF Guide is the 2010 Edition. It was resubmitted for the 5t Edition of the Florida Building Code -Building and the Florida Building Code -Residential. The ASCE 7- 10 wind speed tables were included in the submittal, but the Edition number was not changed. Due to time constraints, the ASCE 7 compliant tables were not submitted in the Florida Building Code, 2010 Edition, but AAF posted the tables as a supplement which jurisdictions could accept as an alternate. The ASCE 7 wind speed compliant tables were submitted as part of the 5th Edition of the code and now must be accepted by local jurisdictions. The following are from the FBC-B, 5th Edition (2014), Chapter 35 and the FBC-R, 5th Edition (2014), Chapter 46 respectively. Should there be any questions or you wish to discuss this subject, please do not hesitate to contact me. Email is the preferred method of contact. Aluminum Ass« h=ofFlorida,lnc.

These standard designations appear on the section drawings (refer to appendix A) as ISN #'s. Designs predicated upon extrusions of alloy 6063T6, alloys 600Sf5 or 6061T6 may be substituted. Design criteria Florida Building Code - Building 1607.7 Allowable Stress Increase of 1.33 was used for these designs per FBC 1607.7.1.3. For the purposes of these specifications, Residential is defined as one or two family dwellings (refer to Exception 1, FBC 1607.7.1) Swimming Pool Fencing is 48" high but otherwise need not meet minimum load requirements. For commercial applications of pool fencing, gates must be self -closing, self -latching and lockable with a latch located near the top of the gate. Access gates, when provided, shall be self -closing and shall comply with the requirements of Sections 424.2.17.1.1 (FBC) through 424.2.17.1.7 (FBC) and shall be equipped with a self -latching locking device located on the pool side of the gate. Where the device release is located no less than 54 inches from the bottom of the gate, the device release mechanism may be located on either side of the gate and placed such that it cannot be reached by a young child over the top or through any opening or gap from the outside. Gates that provide access to the swimming pool must open outward away from the pool. The gates and barrier shall have no opening greater than 1/2 inch within 18 inches of the release mechanism. rlA':}n� iAh"1��W CONCEALED FASTENERS OR ATTACHMENTS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR OF RECORD /a-0(.6 G 8% LUCIL COUNTY BUILDING DIVISION REVIEWED FOR CO NCE REVIEWED BY DATE n MUST BE KEPT ON JOB OR NO INSPECTION WILL BE MADE R AAF GUIDE TO ALUMINUM CONSTRUCTION IN HIGH WIND AREAS (2010 Edition) 2.0 Page 7-a Z w J J ipter 7 - Handrails & Guardrai�v i ., o`�JJo.?"-ir'..•,�'�'.�F � :,may I,. r.,,..ili' RAILING SPECIFICATIONS: a e 701 RaIng Parts (refer to Append'b( 1 for details by ISN#) (ISN = Industry Standard Nomenclature) Top Rai: ISN #1, ISN #10, ISN #14 (each w/ associated snap cap) Bottom Rails: ISN #12A, ISN #3, ISN #SZ Pickets: ISN #5, ISN #13 (hollow tubes) Posts: ISN #4, ISN #4A (each w/ associated snap cap) Post Spacing Specifications for Residential (36" High) Raring/Guards: L't "sq I i� ISN#4: I -Beam Insert not required for 36" high rafeng � S� ISN#4A: Channel Insert required to be 12" high from bottom n kj rj' Post Spacings with associated Top Rails as follows: ISN #1: 9 Fr O.C.
