THE CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH <br />PROJECT NO. 21-1011 <br />BUILDING DEPARTMENT RELOCATION TO ANNEX <br /> <br />Project No. 21-1011 November 2024 055200 Metal Railing-1 <br /> <br />SECTION 055200 <br />METAL RAILINGS <br /> <br />PART 1 - GENERAL <br /> <br />1.1 SUMMARY <br /> <br /> A. Section Includes: Handrails and railings <br /> <br />1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION <br /> <br />A. Structural Performance: Railing systems shall be designed and constructed to withstand <br />the following structural loads required by the Florida Building Code, 2001 Edition, without <br />exceeding the allowable design working stress of the materials. Loading conditions listed <br />below shall not be applied simultaneously, but each shall be applied to produce the <br />maximum stress in each of the respective components or any of the supporting <br />components. <br /> <br />1. Handrail: <br /> <br />a. Concentrated load of 250 lb. applied at any point and in any direction. <br />b. Uniform load of 50 lb. per linear foot applied in any direction. <br /> <br />2. Guardrail System: <br /> <br />a. Concentrated load of 250 lb. applied at any point and in any direction. <br />b. Uniform load of 50 lb. per linear foot applied horizontally at the required <br />guardrail height and simultaneous load of 100 lb. per linear foot applied <br />vertically downward at the top of the guardrail. <br />c. Infill Area: Concentrated horizontal load of 250 lb. Applied on a 1 sq.ft. <br />area at any point in the system including intermediate rails or other <br />elements serving this purpose; or wind loads prescribed by code, <br />whichever is greater. <br /> <br />B. Thermal Movements: Provide exterior railings that allow for thermal movements resulting <br />from the following maximum change (range) in ambient and surface temperatures by <br />preventing buckling, opening of joints, overstressing of components, failure of connections, <br />and other detrimental effects. Base engineering calculation on surface temperatures of <br />materials due to both solar heat gain and nighttime-sky heat loss. <br /> <br />1. Temperature Change (Range): 120 deg F, ambient; 180 deg F, material surfaces. <br /> <br /> 1.3 REFERENCE STANDARDS <br /> <br />A. Except as otherwise specified herein or shown on the Drawings, comply with the latest <br />editions of all applicable codes and regulations including the applicable requirements of the <br />following reference Standards and Codes which are hereby made a part of this Section, as <br />they relate to the railings and handrails. <br /> <br />1. Florida Building Code <br />
