- 2. DASMA’s Mission: • “DASMA,acting through the united efforts of its members, is the industry’s voice for regulatory, technical and product issues affecting market growth, safety and acceptance of the product categories manufactured by member companies.”
- 3. Overview Of OurSeminar • What? • Who cares? • Where do we even need it? • Why should we even bother with this? • “Tech” Time! • Photos – What the wind left behind…. • Resources for you
- 4. People Are Saying…. •“…garage doors performed relatively well in the 2004 Florida hurricanes…” • “…garage door performance has improved in the last ten years…” • Current lists of building products of high concern have NOT included garage doors • DASMA Wind Load Technical Information Is Helping Make A Difference!
- 5. What? • TDS-152, GarageDoors And Hurricanes • TDS-153, Vertically Reinforced Garage Doors • TDS-155, DASMA Wind Load Guides • TDS-161, Connecting Garage Door Jambs to Building Framing • TDS-168, Frequently Asked Questions
- 6. Who Cares? • Buildingowners and homeowners do! • Insurers do! • Essential services personnel do! • Code officials do! • Design professionals do! • We as an industry do, too!
- 7. Where do weeven need it? • Everybody knows about Florida…but how about • The Gulf Coast • The Atlantic seaboard • North Carolina • Kansas City (huh?) • Be on the lookout for your area
- 8. Why should weeven bother with this? To strengthen the chain links! 1. Code content 2. Code adoption 3. Code enforcement 4. Product specification 5. Product integrity 6. Product installation
- 9. Link #1 –Code Content • “Model” Building Codes • Technical Research • DASMA Influence
- 10. Link #2 –Code Adoption • State And Local Levels • More Politics! • Which Code? • Which Amendments?
- 11. Link #3 –Code Enforcement • Local level • Blend of technical and political • Plan reviews; site inspections • Common problem: Technical misunderstandings • Appeals process

- 16. TDS-152, Garage DoorsAnd Hurricanes • Don’t back car against door • Close the door before a hurricane • Homeowner should not add weight to the door • Know if “breakaway” construction supersedes wind load requirement • Have a professional evaluate the door
- 17. TDS-153, Vertically ReinforcedGarage Doors • General – Comply with industry standards – Test to wind standards • Types – Integrated into door design – Supplied with door by manufacturer – Aftermarket product
- 18. TDS-161, Connecting Garage DoorJambs to Building Framing • 8 different fastener types • Charts show maximum spacing • Variables: – Door Width – Design Load – Jamb Materials
- 19. TDS-168, Frequently AskedQuestions • Does orientation of the door on the building affect load? • Does direction the door faces affect load? • Does house layout configuration affect load? • Why can’t the industry just supply a “100 MPH door”? • Why do people ask questions? (Not included)
- 20. TDS-155, Wind LoadGuides • Cover sheet • Codes old and new (current codes are 2003 IBC and 2003 IRC) • Standards old and new (current standard is ASCE 7-02)
- 21. Wind Fundamentals • Inwardand Outward Loads • Normal to Surface • Loads Influenced By: – Geographic Location – Exposure Condition – Building Importance – Opening Size – Opening Protection – Building Configuration – Door Location
- 22. Wind Load Variables •Building height above finished grade • Design wind speed • Exposure category • Garage door horizontal location • Product designation • Use factor • Building Type, with respect to openings • Roof Pitch • Door Area
- 23. DASMA “Wind LoadGuides” • Based on ASCE 7 and the IBC • In process of referencing ASCE 7-02 (equivalent to ASCE 7-98) • In process of reference the 2003 IBC (equivalent to the 2000 IBC) • Commercial and Residential Guides • Guides based on Exposures B, C and D
- 24. Building Height AboveFinished Grade • ASCE 7-98 Section 6.5.12.4.1 • IBC Section 1609.6 (“Simplified Wind Load Method”) • Buildings less than 60 feet in height (“Low- Rise Buildings) • Guides use building heights of 15’ and 25’
- 25. Design Wind Speed •ASCE 7-98 Figure 6-1 • IBC Figure 1609 • Guides based on 90-150 MPH • Three Second Gust values
- 26. Exposure Categories • ASCE7-98 Section 6.5.6.1 • IBC Section 1609.4 • Exposure B: Typical Residential Subdivision; Wooded Areas • Exposure C: Open Terrain; Hurricane- Prone Shorelines • Exposure D: Within 1/4 Mile of an Inland Lake at least One Mile Across

(use 40’) or 40% of eave height (use >10’): 4 ft. • Not less than the larger of 4% of the least horiz. dim. (use 40’) or 3’; 3 ft. • Guides use 4 ft.; 2 ft. of which extend onto the garage door surface
- 28. Product Design Designation •ASCE 7-98 Section 6.2 • IBC Section 1609.2 • Main Wind-Force Resisting System: An assemblage of structural elements assigned to provide support and stability for the overall structure. • Components and Cladding: Elements that do not qualify as part of the MWFRS. • Guides based on garage doors as Components and Cladding
