STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE
Railings to be in accordance with AC273 and supporting documents as described:
Infill:
Horizontal concentrated load of 50 Ibf. applied with 2.5X safety factor for rigid substrates, 3X safety factor for flexible substrates, to 1 sq. ft. at any point in system, including panels, intermediate rails, balusters, or other elements composing infill area. Load on infill area need not be assumed to act concurrently with loads on top rails.
Uniform load of 50 Ib/ft. applied horizontally and vertically.
-2.5X safety factor for rigid substrates, 3X safety factor for flexible substrates.
Concentrated load of 200 Ib/lf. applied horizontally and vertically at midspan, adjacent to post and at top of post.
-2.5X safety factor for rigid substrates, 3X safety factor for flexible substrates.
Uniform and concentrated loads need not be assumed to act concurrently.
