Dear Mr. Laprade:
Please know I personally completed the wind load analysis for the horizontal roller window, Model HR-710,
NOA, 16-0714.13 by PGT Industries, Impact rated aluminum.
The glass type can be Types D, E, F, J, K or L. Glass types G to L require a tempered glass cap.
Using the ASCE7-10. The following parameters were used:
Horizontal Roller height is less than 70 feet;
Exposure D; Wind speed 170 mph; Enclosed Structure, wind zones 4 and 5;
When taking into account the external and internal pressure coefficients and adjustments per the ASCE7-10, the
resulting and governing applied wind pressure comes to +69.3 psf / -73.5 psf for the governing Zone 5.
With the tapcon type, spacing, edge distances and embedment and window completed per the NOA, the
allowable loads of +/-75psf for the window exceeds the applied loads in these applications, and is acceptable to
this office.
It is recommended that all fasteners be of high quality stainless steel.
If you have any questions, please contact me at any time.
Thank you,
