John Knezevich, P.E. is an integral part of this Evaluation Report. 2.2 TEST REPORTS Test report for Uniform Static Air Pressure in accordance with TAS 202 and ASTM E330-02 and successful testing of impact resistance and cyclic pressure loading in conformance with TAS 201 and TAS 203. Test reports were prepared by Hurricane Test Laboratory, LLC (HTL), Test Report No.0353-0904-05 and Construction Testing Corporation (CTC), Test Report No. 98-026. Tensile Capacity of aluminum alloy extrusions was determined using a Webster Gauge, Model B. 2.3 STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS Prepared Rational and Comparative Analyses of HR Accordion Shutter System performance, as well as anchor calculations. From these analyses, a Maximum Shutter Span vs. Design Load (PSF) schedule was prepared for the HR Accordion Shutter System. An Anchor Spacing vs. Design Load (PSF) schedule was also prepared, indicating maximum anchor spacing, for a given span condition, at specific design loads (PSF), for each type of anchor used during testing. No increase in allowable stress has been used in the design of this product. 3. IMPACT RESISTANCE This HR Accordion Shutter System satisfactorily passed the large missile impact testing, in accordance with TAS 201. This HR Accordion Shutter System may be used to protect glazed openings from windborne debris, in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, when installed in accordance with the approved installation drawings, including the limitations indicated therein, prepared by KA. 4.
