Dear Mr. Laprade:
Please know I personally completed the wind load analysis for the picture window,NOA's, 15-0512.15 by CGI,
Impact rated aluminum.
The glass Type 2,with%4"diameter tapcons,6"from the corners& 17"o.c.maximum with minimum 1.5"
embedment in to concrete-of filled CMU.
Using the ASCE740,,The following parameters were used:
Picture Windows height is less than 12 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+49.3 psf/-54.1 psf for the governing Zone S.
With the tapcon type,spacing,edge distances and embedment and window installation completed per the
respective NOA,the allowable.loads of+66.6psf for the window exceeds the applied loads in this application,
and is acceptable to my office.'
Itis recommended that all fasteners be of high quality stainless steel.
If you have any questions,please contact me at any time.
Thank you, OF Fto�
