The RailBlazers® Aluminum Railing System is intended to act as a guard or barrier to protect the public

from a fall. The objectives were to complete a structural review of the structural components based

on Limit States Design, in accordance with applicable material standards and Part 4 of the following

Canadian building codes:

Alberta Building Code 2014

British Columbia Building Code 2012

National Building Code of Canada 2015

The following specified loads apply:

Concentrated lateral load of 1 kN (applied to the Railing System at top of guard)

Uniformly distributed lateral load of 0.75 kN/m (applied at top of guard)

Uniformly distributed vertical load of 1.5 kN/m (applied at top of guard)

Concentrated infill load of 0.5 kN (anywhere within the guard)

Concentrated live load of 0.1 kN applied in opposite directions on two individual infill elements

within a guard shall result in an opening size no greater than 100mm

Uniform wind load per the limits shown in Appendix B Assembly Drawings

In this report, the following structural components were reviewed:

A. Infill Elements

1. Wide aluminum pickets 38 mm (1½”) wide

2. Glass panels up to 1.676 m (66”) wide

3. Glass panels 152 mm or 6” wide

B. Rail Elements

1. Post

2. Railing Handrail

3. Railing Base rail

C. Connectors

1. Universal connector

2. Wall mount brackets

3. Mid/stair/end fascia mount bracket

4. Corner fascia mount bracket

The complete list of all components (including non-structural components) for the system is included

in Appendix A.



2 . 0 INF IL L E L E ME NT S

The primary infill elements included: 38 mm (1½”) wide aluminum picket, 6 mm (¼") thick glass panels

(up to 1.676 m (66”) wide), and 8 mm (5/16”) thick glass panels (152 mm (6”) wide).

The review was based on information and drawings provided by Peak Products Manufacturing Inc.

(Peak) for the elements listed above.

2 . 1 A lu m in u m In f i l l E lem e n ts

Our analysis was based on the following information:

Loads: Prescribed by the Canadian building codes. See Section 1.0, Overview.

Resistance: Completed in accordance with CAN/CSA S157-05 (R2015), Strength in Aluminum

Design.

Section properties: Determined from drawings provided by Peak. Calculations were completed in

accordance with CAN/CSA S157-05 (R2015).

Load configuration: Span and bearing lengths were provided by Peak.

2 . 2 G la s s In f i l l E lem en ts

Our analysis was based on the following information:

Loads (Live and Wind): Prescribed by the Canadian building codes. See Section 1.0, Overview.

Resistance: Completed in accordance with CAN/CGSB 12.20-M89, Structural Design of Glass for

Buildings.

Material: Tempered glass in accordance with CAN/CGSB-12.1-M90 per information and drawings

provided by Peak.

Section properties: Determined from drawings provided by Peak.

Load configuration: Span and bearing lengths were provided by Peak. The glass panels were

analyzed based on having pinned (simply-supported) ends at the top and bottom.

Allowable deflection: The allowable deflection was calculated based on preventing fall-out of the

glass from the frame.

3 . 0 RA IL E L E ME NT S

3 . 1 G en er a l Ra i l E lem en ts

The general rail elements include the hand rail, base rail, and posts. An analysis was completed based

on the worst-case configuration for these elements.



Design.

Section properties: Determined from drawings provided by Peak. Calculations were completed in


Fastener resistance: Completed in accordance with CAN/CSA S16-14, Design of Steel Structures.



Load configuration: Span and dimensions were provided by Peak. Posts were modeled as

cantilevers, fixed at the base. The results from our analysis show the maximum span that can be

achieved, as calculated from the material and fastener resistances.

4 . 0 C O NNE C T O RS

4 . 1 C o n n ecto r s

The general connectors included the universal connector, wall mount brackets, mid/stair/end fascia

mount bracket, and corner fascia mount bracket. An analysis was completed based on the worst-case

configuration for these elements.
