For specific <br />regions of the country identified in the Florida Building Code ─ Building as being subjected to ultimate design wind speeds (Vult) <br />in excess of 130 miles per hour (58 m/s), the tiles and fastening systems must be designed in accordance with this Appendix. <br />2023 Florida Building Code—Residential: On buildings located in areas where the Florida Building Code ─ Residential <br />ultimate design wind speed does not exceed 130 mph (58 m/s) and having a maximum mean roof height of 40 feet (12.192 mm), <br />tile application must comply with Florida Building Code ─ Residential Section R905.3.7. For greater basic wind speeds and/or <br />higher mean roof heights, the tiles and fastening systems must be designed in accordance with this Appendix. <br />The following design aids are provided to the roof designer for consideration in determining the fastening requirements for roof <br />tiles for wind applications beyond the prescriptive requirements in the Florida Building Code— Building and Florida Building <br />Code ─ Residential. These tables were developed based on the requirements of Section 1609.6.3 of Florida Building Code— <br />Building and Florida Building Code ─ Residential and ASCE 7-22. <br />Tables 2A through 2F of the Appendix are used to determine the generic required aerodynamic uplift moment for the tile. The <br />generic required aerodynamic uplift moment determined from the tables must be multiplied by the tile factor ratio in Table 1 of <br />ESR-2528 to obtain the required aerodynamic uplift moment for the specific roof tile being installed. The allowable aerodynamic <br />uplift moment for the roof tile fastening system selected from Table 3 of the Appendix must be equal to or greater than the <br />required aerodynamic uplift moment for the specific roof tile being installed. <br />Underlayment Notes: For consideration of attachment of underlayments in high wind areas, see Florida Building Code ─ Building <br />Section 1507.3.3 and Florida Building Code ─ Residential Sections R905.1.1 and R905.3.3. Attachment of underlayments must <br />comply with the above-mentioned sections. <br /> <br />TABLE 1 <br />Conversion from Nominal Design Wind Speed Vasd to Ultimate Design Wind <br />Speed Vult shall be converted as Vasd = Vult * √0.6 or from the following table: <br />DESIGN WIND SPEED CONVERSION (mph) <br />Vult <br />asd <br />SI: <br /> <br />302 E Santa Clara Ave <br />9/25/2024
