4.0 Design Loads - Dead: <br /> <br />There are two categories of dead load used to perform the structural analysis of the PanelClaw racking system; Dead Load of the Array (DLA) and <br />Dead Load of the Components (DLC). <br /> <br />DLA is defined as the weight of the entire array including all of the system components and total ballast used on the array. <br /> <br />DLC is defined as the weight of the modules and the racking components within an array. The DLC does not include the ballast used to resist loads <br />on this array. <br />4.1 Dead Load of the Arrays: <br /> <br />Array Information Results <br />Sub- <br />Array <br />Name <br />Number <br />of <br />Modules <br />DLC <br />(lbs.) <br />DLA <br />(lbs.) <br />DLC <br />(lbs.)/module <br />Sub- <br />Array <br />Area <br />(ft.^2) <br />Sub-Array <br />Roof <br />Pressure <br />(DLC) (psf) <br />Sub-Array <br />Roof <br />Pressure <br />(DLA) (psf) <br />Max <br />Allowable <br />Pressure on <br />Roof (psf) <br />Acceptable? <br />1.1 20 1,836 3,692 92 650 2.82 5.68 8.00 Yes <br />1.2 34 3,149 5,207 93 1,102 2.86 4.73 8.00 Yes <br />Total:  54 4,984 lbs.8,899 lbs. <br />*Racking component weight range between 13 to 15 pounds per module <br />Table 4.1 - Array Dead Loads and Roof Pressures <br />06/01/2023 <br />APPROVED FOR CONSTRUCTION <br />8 <br />PanelClaw, Inc., 1600 Osgood Street, Suite 2023, North Andover, MA 01845 <br /> (978) 688.4900 - www.panelclaw.com <br />P- 34 <br />1901 N Fairview St & Bldg A, B, <br />C, F & 1919 N Fairview St Bldg E <br />4/11/2024
