2405.5.2 Unit Skylights Rated for Separate Performance Grades for Positive and Negative Design Pressure
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
The design of unit skylights rated for performance grade for both positive and negative design pressures shall be based on the following equations:
Fgi ≤ PGPos | (Equation 24-14) |
Fgo ≤ PGNeg | (Equation 24-15) |
where:
PGPos | = | Performance grade rating of the skylight under positive design pressure; |
PGNeg | = | Performance grade rating of the skylight under negative design pressure; and |
Fgi and Fgo are determined in accordance with the following:
For Wo ≥D,
where:
Wo | = | Outward wind force, psf (kN/m2) as calculated in Section 1609. |
D | = | The dead weight of the glazing, psf (kN/m2) as determined in Section 2404.2 for glass, or by the weight of the plastic, psf (kN/m2) for plastic glazing. |
Fgi | = | Maximum load on the skylight determined from Equations 24-3 and 24-4 in Section 2404.2. |
Fgo | = | Maximum load on the skylight determined from Equation 24-2. |
For Wo < D,
where:
Wo | = | Is the outward wind force, psf (kN/m2) as calculated in Section 1609. |
D | = | The dead weight of the glazing, psf (kN/m2) as determined in Section 2404.2 for glass, or by the weight of the plastic for plastic glazing. |
Fgi | = | Maximum load on the skylight determined from Equations 24-2 through 24-4 in Section 2404.2. |
Fgo | = | 0. |
