Dear Mr. Laprade
Please know I personally completed the wind load analysis for the new (4) new sliding glass doors, NOA, 15-
1210.02, Series 5470 installed per Table 2, and (3) picture windows PW-5420 NOA 16-0629.11, glass type 4 or
6, with (2) mullion bars NOA, 16-0218.03 all by PGT. Picture windows & sliding glass doors all vinyl and non -
impact rated; mullions: 1"x4"x0.375", per Table 7A with anchoring Fig. #5 per Table 7B.
This suite has existing accordion type shutters.
Using the ASCE7-10. The following parameters were used:
Single vinyl sliding glass door height is less than 30 feet;
Exposure D; Wind speed 170 mph; Enclosed Structure, wind zone 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 +63.5 psf / -69.1 psf for Zone 5.
With the fasteners spacing, edge distances and embedment and with the respective NOA's as described above,
the minimum, governing allowable loads of+80.0 psf and 86.8 psf for these doors, windows and mullions,
which exceeds the applied loads in this application, and is acceptable to my 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,
