O6-FSC-0006 BY St. Lucie County Product Manufacturer. Folding Shutter Corporation Manufacturer Address: 7089 Hemstreet Place West Palm Beach, FL 33413 Product Name & Description: Titan II Folding (Accordion) Shutter Scope of Evaluation: This Product Evaluation Report is being issued in accordance with the requirements of the Florida Department of Community Affairs (Florida Building Commission) Rule Chapter 913-72.070, F.A.C., for statewide acceptance per Method 1(d). All products listed above have been tested and/or evaluated as summarized herein to show compliance with the 2007 Florida Building Code and are, for the purpose intended, at least equivalent to that required by the Code. Re-evaluation of this product shall be required fallowing pertinent Florida Building Code modifications or revisions. Substantiating Data: FLB drawing #06-FSC-0006 titled "Titan II Folding Shutter', sheets 1-5, prepared by Frank L. Bennardo, P.E., Inc., signed & sealed by Frank L Bernardo, P.E. is an integral part of this Evaluation Report • TEST REPORTS Uniform static structural performance has been tested in accordance with TAS 202 test standards per test report(s) #0143-0408-02 & #0143-0903-01 by Hurricane Test Laboratory (HTL). Large missile impact resistance and cyclic loading performance have been tested in accordance with TAB 201 & 203 test standards per test report(s) #0143-0408-02 & #0143-0903-01 by Hurricane Test Laboratory (HTL). Metal tensile capacity has been determined in accordance with ASTM E8 test standard per test report #2KM-1334 by Q C Metallurgical, Inc.. • STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS Structural engineering calculations have been prepared which _evaluate the product based on comparative and/or rational analysis to qualify the following design criteria: 1. Maximum Allowable Spans 2. Minimum Glass Separation 3. System Porosity 4. Anchor Spacing No 33% increase in allowable stress has been used in the design of each product 160 SW 12T" AVENUE #106 DEERFIELD BEACH, FL 33442 PHONE: 954-354-0660 FAX: 954-354-0443 for WWW.ENGEXP.COM 2009 Page 2 of 2 Folding Shutter Corp. — Titan II Accordion Shutter When installed outside the HVHZ, this system has been designed as a non -porous assembly as defined in the ASTM E1996-02 standard. Therefore, a minimum separation between the shutter and any glazing behind it is NOT required outside the HVHZ. The 144" span shown in the glass separation note is the maximum span at which the product was tested per test report #0143-0408-02, specimens #1, 2, & 4. The separation from glass shown in the installation drawings (detail 1, sheet 5) of 3.25" is derived from test report #0143-0408-02, specimen #2, section 18.1.1. This is the worst -case impact deflection exhibited in testing at the 144" span. The worst case impact deflection at 99.5" slat span is based on test report #0143-0408-02, specimen #5, section 18.1. Impact Resistance: Large Missile Impact Resistance has been demonstrated as evidenced in previously listed test reports, and is accounted for in the engineering design of this product. Slats with polycarbonate "windows" and perforated slats are qualified as impact -resistant per HTL test report#0143-0903-01 listed above (Ref. sample#1). The 2"x2"xl/8" comer post and end slat is qualified as an acceptable component of this impact resistant system per Florida Product Approval4FL7288 (ASSA Accordion Shutter). Wind Load Resistance Each product has been designed to resist wind loads as indicated in the span schedule(s) on its respective Product Evaluation Document (i.e. engineering drawing). Installation Each product listed above shall be installed in strict compliance with its respective Product Evaluation Document (i.e. engineering drawing), along with all components noted therein. Each product component shall be of the material specified in that product's respective Product Evaluation Document (i.e. engineering drawing). Limitations & Conditions of Use: Use of each product shall be in strict accordance with its respective Product Evaluation Document (i.e. engineering drawing) as noted herein. All supporting host structures shall be designed to resist all superimposed loads and shall be of a material listed in each product's respective anchor schedule. Host structure conditions which are not accounted _ for in each product's respective anchor schedule shall be designed for on a site -specific basis by a registered professional engineer. All components which are permanently installed shall be protected against corrosion, contamination, and other such damage at all times. Each product has been designed for use within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). 160 SW 12T" AvENUE #106 DEERFIELD BEACH, FL 33442 PHONE: 954-354-0660 FAX: 954-354-0443 WWW.ENGEXP.COM ENGINEERING EXPRESSO Product Evaluation Report January 8, 2009 SCA LBAppIIcation PrroNumber.
