PART 1 GENERAL<br />

1.1 RELATED DOCUMENTS<br />

A. Drawings and general provisions of the Contract, including General and Supplementary Conditions and<br />

Division 01 Specification Sections, apply to this Section.<br />

1.2 SUMMARY<br />

A. Section includes translucent fiberglass sandwich panel system for walls consisting of 2-3/4" thick flat,<br />

prefabricated single units, (including factory installation).<br />

1.3 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS<br />

A. General Performance: Aluminum-framed systems shall withstand the effects of the following performance<br />

requirements without exceeding performance criteria or failure due to defective manufacture, fabrication,<br />

installation, or other defects in construction:<br />

1. Movements of supporting structure indicated on Drawings including, but not limited to, story drift<br />

and deflection from uniformly distributed and concentrated live loads.<br />

2. Dimensional tolerances of building frame and other adjacent construction.<br />

3. Failure includes the following:<br />

a. Deflection exceeding specified limits.<br />

b. Thermal stresses transferring to building structure.<br />

c. Framing members transferring stresses, including those caused by thermal and structural<br />

movements to glazing.<br />

d. Noise or vibration created by wind and by thermal and structural movements.<br />

e. Loosening or weakening of fasteners, attachments, and other components.<br />

f. Failure of operating units.<br />

B. Delegated Design: Design translucent wall system, including comprehensive engineering analysis by a<br />

qualified California licensed professional engineer, using performance requirements and design criteria<br />

indicated.<br />

1. Wind Loads: Wall system shall withstand the effects of uniform pressure (velocity pressure) acting<br />

inward and outward wind loads determined according to SEI/ASCE 7<br />

2. Seismic Performance: Wall System shall withstand the effects of earthquake motions determined<br />

according to SEI/ASCE 7.<br />

C. Deflection of entire system shall not exceed L/45, unless otherwise indicated.<br />

D. Air/Water Infiltration: For Water Penetration, curtainwall system shall be tested per procedures of ASTM<br />

E-331, and shall show no water entry at WTP=10.00 psf, @ 5.00gph/ft. squared. Test shall be performed<br />
