Project: Two Sliding Existing Glass Door Replacements, 89' High:
Tyler Residence,Admiral Condo's, 8750 S. Ocean Drive Unit 1033 Jensen Beach, FL 34957
Dear Mr. Laprade:
Please know a wind load analysis was completed for the following:
1. Two sliding glass doors,NOA 14-0128.11 by PGT Industries, Series 770, Aluminum SGD with
reinforcements, glass Type 4 or 4A,with minimum sill riser of 3.25"and Large and Small Missile
Impact rated.Allowable Design pressure of+/-82.5 psf;
Using the ASCE?-10 to calculate the applied wind loads for the sliding glass door replacements,the following
parameters were used:
Window& Sliding Glass Doors height less than 90 feet;
Exposure D; Wind speed 170 mph; Enclosed Structure; Category II, Wind Zones 4 & 5;
When taking into account the external and internal pressure coefficients and adjustments per the ASCE?-10,the
resulting and governing and most severe applied wind pressure comes to+58.4 psf/-77.7 psf.
With all systems installed per the above noted NOA,the allowable pressures all exceed the applied wind loads
in this application, and is therefore acceptable to this office.
If you have any questions,ple ct me at any time.
