This is a simple question with a not-so-simple answer. There is not an industry standard for wind load testing, as the number and choice of rails used, distance between posts, deepness of slat pockets, installation details, etc...all play a part in determining wind load testing. We can assure customers, however, that our most popular fence, as installed by us handles in-ground wind loads of well over 90 miles per hour.

Answer: With standard 2"x4" rafters the snow load is 30lbs. With optional 2"x6" rafters the snow load is increased to 50lbs. The wind load with standard 25 year asphalt shingles is 60 mph, with 30 year shingles - 90 mph, and metal roof - 110 mph. See similar questions...

The brief synopsis, which follows, is from the test results report dated 1994 from Dade County Miami Florida pertaining to the wind load capacity of Monolite. Three typical Monolite panels 4' wide and 10' tall with 1" of field applied shotcrete on each face were installed vertically, side-by-side on a concrete slab, several inches in front of a rigid backup wall with space between the panels and the backup wall. The panels were tested per static-wind load test (PA202-94 manner of testing). See similar questions...

Vinyl fences are designed to withstand normal wind load. The amount of load is dependent on the installation of the posts and horizontal rails. If installed according to Homestead's specifications, the fences are desinged to stand up to normal wind load. [Return] It is normal for vinyl materials to expand and contract during temperature changes. Your contractor will allow for expansion and contraction during the installation process.

There are four design loads in Larimer County. For elevations under 7000 feet the ground snow load is 30 pounds per square foot (psf). Elevations from 7001 feet to 7999 feet the ground snow is 40 psf. From 8000 feet to 8999 feet the ground snow is 50 psf. For elevations 9000 feet and over the ground snow load is 70 psf. The minimum basic wind speed is 100 mph (3 second gust) and exposure "C" will be assumed. Frost depth for this region is assumed to be 30 inches minimum. See similar questions...

This answer varies a great deal all across the United States. One way to get a better idea of what these requirements are is to click here to enter your dealer's or factory-direct rep's eBuildings pricing website. Each eBuilding is displayed at the known minimum snow and wind loads (defaulted to "code" type buildings) for the zipcode you enter! Otherwise, it's best to consult with your local Lester dealer or factory-direct representative to determine the load requirements for your specific area. See similar questions...

WoodWorks Canadian Shearwalls 2002 generates NBCC low-rise wind loads. The software calculates load cases for wind acting on any corner of the building. Once wind loads are generated, an arrow will appear on the windward corner of the building for the load case displayed. Other load cases may be viewed using the Show button. To change the windward corner, select a direction in the Load Direction drop down menu that appears when you click the Show button. See similar questions...

Independent testing has been performed to determine the ultimate strength of a manufacturer's adhesives to various substrates. The average tensile bond strength was determined to be approximately 20 psi, which converts to 2880 psf. It should be evident that adhesively applied EIFS provides bond strength well in excess of what is needed for virtually any projects. See similar questions...

ASCE7-02 "All heights" method shows 4 cases that require consideration in designing for MWFRS, as per Figure 6-9 and Section 6.5.12.3. Shearwalls accounts for Case 1 (full, non-torsional loading for each orthogonal direction independently) and Case 2 (partial torsional loading for each orthogonal direction independently).
