Dear Mr. Laprade:
FILE COPY
Please know I personally completed the wind load analysis for the new vinyl, sliding glass door, NOA, 15-
1210.02 by PGT, Series 5470, vinyl, non -impact rated doors. 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 100 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 +79.1 psf / -82.5 psf for Zone 5.
With the fasteners spacing, edge distances and embedment and door installation completed per the respective
NOA, the allowable loads of+/-87.8 psf for this door 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 conta3j-m�at any time.
Thank you,
