Part 2 . Products
. 2.01 Flood
barriers shall be as manufactured by Floodbarrier
Inc.
7314 NW 46th Street, Miami,
Florida 33166
. 2.02 Materials
- Aluminum StopLog
Panels to be of 6063-T6
- Intermediate
and End Posts: The majority of the post
is to be from grade ST37 (S235 JR) with
the exception of below ground supports
which are to be of grade 304 stainless
steel or equal.
- All steel to
be primed with one coat Sherwin Williams
Kern Flash rust inhibitive, lead free,
grey primer, or equivalent.
- Gaskets to be
equivalent of UA-G001 low compressed set
gaskets mechanically retained in the stop
logs; UA-G002 low compression set gaskets
on jambs.
. 2.03 Design
- Loads for the
design of the Stop Log System Flood Panel
System have been determined assuming that
the location of the building where the
system is to be installed is outside of
High Risk Flood Hazard Areas, Coastal
High Hazard Areas, and Coastal A zones,
per Dry Floodproofing Limitations on ASCE
24-05, Section 6.2.1.
- This Stop Log
System Flood Panel System has been designed
for the loads and load combinations listed
on the ASCE 7-02, Section 2.0 (Combinations
of Loads), including the following flood
loads according with ASCE 7-02 Section
5.3.3 (Loads During Flooding):
1)
Hydrostatic Loads, caused by water which is either stagnant
or moves at velocities less than 5 ft/sec, according
with ASCE 24-05, Section 6.2.1 and ASCE 7-02,
Sections 5.3.3.2 and C5.3.3.2.
2)
Hydrodynamic Loads: Hydrodynamic loads not considered since
flow of water is moving at velocities less than 5ft/sec, according
with ASCE 24-05, Section 6.2.1 (Dry Floodproofing
Limitations).
3)
Wave Loads: Only Non-breaking wave action is considered since
Non-breaking waves on vertical walls can also
be computed as hydrostatic forces, according
with FEMA 550-2006, Section 3.4 (Wave Loads)
and ASCE 7-02 Section 5.3.3.4 (Wave Loads).
Breaking waves and broken waves are proper of
other areas where Dry-Floodproofing is not allowed
according with ASCE 24-05, Section 6.2.1 (Dry Floodproofing Limitations).
4)
Impact Loads: Not considered since Hydrostatic analysis is
performed for flow of water moving at velocities
of less than 5 ft/sec.
- This Stop Log
System Flood Panel System is designed
for a maximum wind load pressure of +/- 126 psf, which is the maximum
wind load pressure per Structural Drawings.
- Frame(s) and
Intermediate post(s) shall have mounting
holes for connecting anchors and bolts.
Anchor type, size, and method dependent
on load capabilities of structure
