1.3 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
A. General: Handrails and railings shall withstand structural loading as determined by allowable design
working stresses of materials and conform to 2009 International Building Code (IBC).
B. Structural Performance: Provide handrails and railings capable of withstanding the following
structural loads without exceeding allowable design working stress of materials for handrails, railings,
Trex Commercial Products page 2 05 73 00 - Decorative Metal Railing
anchors and connections:
1. Top Rail of Guards: Shall withstand the following loads:
a. Concentrated load of 200 lbf (0.89kN) applied at any point and in any direction.
b. Uniform load of 50 lbf-ft. (0.07kN-m) applied horizontally and concurrently with uniform
load of 100 lbf-ft. (0.14kN-m) applied vertically downward.
c. Concentrated and uniform loads above need not be assumed to act concurrently.
2. Handrails Not Serving As Top Rails: Shall withstand the following loads:
a. Concentrated load of 200 lbf (0.89kN) applied at any point and in any direction
b. Uniform load of 50 lbf-ft. (0.07kN-m) applied in any direction
c. Concentrated and uniform loads above need not be assumed to act concurrently.
3. Guards Infill Area: Shall withstand the following loads:
a. Concentrated horizontal load of 200 lbf (0.89 kN) applied to a 1sq. ft. at any point in
system, including panels, intermediate rails, balusters, or other elements composing infill
area. Loads need not be assumed to act concurrently, with loads on top rails in
determining stress on guard.
C. Thermal Movements: Design handrails and railings to allow for movements resulting from 120
degree F (49 C) changes in ambient and 180 degree F (82 C) surface temperatures. Base
engineering calculation on surface temperatures of materials due to both solar heat gain and
nighttime-sky heat loss.
D. Corrosion Resistance: Separate incompatible materials to prevent galvanic corrosion.
1.4 SUBMITTALS
A. Submit under provisions of Section 01300.
B. Product Data: Manufacturer's data sheets on each product to be used, including:
1. Preparation instructions and recommendations.
2. Storage and handling requirements and recommendations.
3. Installation methods.
C. Shop Drawings: Submit plan and typical section detail to depict the proper configuration, assembly and
installation and termination of each product specified in this section.
D. Verification Samples: For each finish product specified, two samples, representing actual product,
color, and finish.
1.5 QUALITY ASSURANCE
A. Manufacturer Qualifications: All primary products specified in this section will be supplied by a single
manufacturer with a minimum of five (5) years of experience.
B. Mock-Up: Provide a mock-up for evaluation of surface preparation techniques and application
workmanship.
1. Finish areas designated by Architect.
2. Do not proceed with remaining work until workmanship, color, and sheen are approved by
Architect.
3. Refinish mock-up area as required to produce acceptable work.
