Project: Sliding Glass Door Replacement
9600 S. Ocean Drive, Suite 201, Jensen Beach,FL 34957

Dear Mr. Laprade:
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 ASCE?-10. The following parameters were used:
Single vinyl sliding glass door height is less than 20 feet;
Exposure D; Wind speed 170 mph;Enclosed Structure, wind zone 5; j
i
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+52.3 psf/-57.4 psf for Zone'15.
With the fasteners spacing, edge distances and embedment and door installation'completed per the respective
NOA,the allowable loads of+/-65.8 psf for this door exceeds the applied loads in this!application,and is
acceptable to my office.
i
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,
